Anyone ever been? Whats it like as a track and are thier days well organised?

I saw on the site you can pay £50 at the door, might be worthwhile next year when the weathers good again.

Next Trackday is 9th October, I will be down with my Team mate test his new bike.

You have to book in adavance as it is always full, It is a good track but the first corner takes real balls to go through at high speed.

If you need anymore Info PM me.

I have never been, but would be intersted to go next year as well. I'd need to get a more suitable bike first tho Laughing. Seen the £50 entrance fee on the site too - seems to be a good deal.

Always plenty of bikes for sale at end of season. Call down on the 9th Oct free in for spectators. Walk round the paddock it will get you a feel for what is going on.

Any other advice give me a shout.

You get approx 4/5 sessions and each one is approx 15 mins, it is only a half day so for £50.00 it is good value. Some times if it is quiet you get more track time. This week should be good if weather holds up.

It was dry at Kirkistown, but the wind was quite bad. I did 3 sessions before calling it a day. I left early at 3.00pm.

I hear it is always cold cause there is no wind breaks or anything surrounded by flat land.

Saw a listing for another one on 29th but I reckon I will give the bike track days a miss for this year, would like to get a car day in though.
