£45 credit given for anyone interested.
In all fairness, last night is not representative of the average track day experience, fair play to MSV for giving credit towards another booking.
MattJ, will see you on the 1'st, will be on a white/blue GSXR 600 K1 (orange wheel of course) with a bud on a green ZX6R . |

Insurance? Get a track dedicated bike...
Sounds a bit over the top but it will all make perfect sense after your first 3 track days or so...
I thought 'ahhh just one or two' last year which became 6 in 3 months (about every 2 weeks) and have had to settle with one a month
Don't take a shiny bike... did that with my R1 once... 1/10. Do not reccomend compared to something you don't mind chucking... |

Snetterton this Sunday (18'th).
Looks like I'll be going solo, buddy chucked his zx6 (at snetts ironically) so is unlikely to be attending.
Getting quicker on Corams (there's a reason my Go-Pro obscures my view of the speedo ). I dread to think what BSB speeds are like round this corner

Just got back from Benson track day. Weather started off pretty bleak, first session wet, second session we had a dry line, all was going well, and then it rained again for a good hour or so. Organisers bought lunch forward to start at around half 11ish while the rain was at it's worst(Though this wasn't communicated very well) But then after lunch, really brightened up, no more rain throughout the day but not a huge amount of sun so took a good couple of sessions to burn off. Last session, not sure what happened, but we as novices got 40 minutes with no red flags I believe inters and/or advanced joined us on track as quite a lot had headed home by that point.
The layout... Interesting to say the least Lots of changes of surface, and due to the taxiways being used, a hell of a lot of slipping early on in the day with the rain across the painted lines. They'd removed most of the cats-eyes (which are far bigger than motorway cat's eyes) though they'd left a couple in after the first double apex left hander which wasn't really an issue, but equally, they'd removed lots of others i feel like they could have removed those last 2.
Generally I quite enjoyed the layout to be fair, although there were two changes of surface in particularly awkward places. One in quite a tight left hander, which opened up massively onto a decent length straight, changing from concrete to tarmac, and at the end of the runway coming into another relatively tight left hander changing from one type of tarmac to another type of tarmac. Not as bad as the first change, but still something to be aware of. Piano keys at the start of the straight are a nightmare aswell. Even in the dry at the end of the day i had wheelspin on them Very slippy all day long.
To be fair, a decent day and I am absolutely knackered. Think I actually got the bike over a little further than i did at Oulton, despite the surface apparently being less grippy No noise-testing and saw quite a few instructors with various students throughout the day. All in all, not bad for a £75 trackday, not bad at all Hopefully have some pictures once the photographer gets them up ____________________ SV650S - Feb '14-March '19
