Here's a vid from today's trackday at Rockingham. I put this one up for entertainment value as I have a close call in it but I have most of the sessions of the day if anyone was there in my group and doesn't appear in this one.

Turn the volume down before starting it as it's fecking loud...

Awesome Thumbs Up

That is some heavy braking at the end of the straight, and quite a sketchy moment at 9.50 Shocked

I used to brake a lot harder but I'm getting a lot of juddering now which I can't get to the bottom of. The brakes on the old ZX6s are pretty good though I reckon.

I'm planning to get a trackday in this summer, probably mallory, do you have a vid of there that I could study?

You seem to know what you're doing, getting past the others that's for sure! Guessing it's the intermediate group?

No it's the fast group. I've never done Mallory but I'm sure You Tube will bear fruit Thumbs Up

Laughing You haven't offended me but you might have offended all the other riders in that video.

Was quite a slow fast group to be fair...for some reason Snetterton is always a lot quicker...or maybe I'm a lot slower there.

Nice work mate Thumbs Up watched this after watching some of my on board videos and can definitely see where you are quicker! Think I'll go for the intermediate group next time I'm there, thinking about doing the one on the bank holiday at the start of June.

Will post up the footage in the next couple of days when I've had a chance to edit it together.

This is my video from a couple of weeks ago, might find it handy to learn the lay out of the track but it was absolutely soaking!

Enjoyed that Thumbs Up Put some music over it and drop most of the original sound to make it more bearable.

Laughing good lad! Yeah was pretty happy with it for a first track day! Shame I didn't have a set of wets though Sad was really surprised how good my new pilot road 3 rear tyre was today in the dry, melted the sides of them quite a lot, it got so sticky when it was hot!

Yeah, I need to do something with it but I just wanted to get it up first so I could delete it off my memory card.
