Snetterton 7th May

Is anybody else going to this trackday?

[Al]

Have just booked it
Was holding off as weather doesn't look very good, but the met office website says that the rain should stay away from the east of England until late afternoon/evening so hopefully they are right.

Might see you there I'm a short but amazingly good looking guy on a white/red FZR400 road bike with tatty leathers.

I'll keep an eye out, I'm riding a red, white and black R1

[Al]

Hey hope you had a good day, don't think I saw you. I saw a red R1 with a big no.41 race graphic on the front, not sure if that was you?

Had a good morning nice weather, first time on the new 300 layout. I thought it really adds to the circuit which I was never that keen on before. I was holding a pretty decent pace in inters but dropped it on the brakes going into montreal (the tight hairpin) just before lunch. Snapped a peg and lever and didn't have any spares so had to pack up and go home
Should have seen the signs really as I was making up loads of time on people braking into that corner which I thought was a bit strange. Then the lap before I got a bit of juddering from the front wheel as I braked hard, then next lap judder,judder bang Looking at the marks on the forks it looks as if they've been bottoming out
Annoying really as I was being quite sensible and keeping nice and tidy, I thought I'd really push after lunch, although I hear the afternoon was a bit of a washout.

Thanks, wasn't the first time unfortunately and I got off fairly lightly I suppose.
Don't think I saw you but I didn't really walk around all that much apart from to get tea. Looks a nice R1
