First track day !

[Valentino Mossy]

Well worth doing one even if its chucking it down !!!
Finally got round to doing my 1st trackday with my bro down llando (sp?).
1st lap was bit shitty,then whooo hoo ! The little nc30 is quick on the corners,shit hot on braking, but lacking that bit of grunt on the straight !
Learned quite alot and cant wait to book my days off ready for next years track days !!!
Shame on the 4th session my spark plug decided to go "pop" !!
The spark pug tip and screw type thingy stayed in the engine and the rest of it blew out .Got home on 3 cyclinders
Got the thread out now,minus a bag of cash for new spark plugs .

Who was the track day with?

[Valentino Mossy]

The trackday was with shortcircuit promotions, and that was the last one of the year. The first one next year is about march some time.
Their website (Not running tidy yet) is : https://www.shortcircuitpromotions.com/


And llandows website is : https://www.llandowcircuit.com

And BTW its a pig to find !, Its near cowbridge (inbetween bridgend and cardiff) and llantwit major.
Its just oustide the town of llandow.
I took a gps thingy on the bike and still got lost !!!
When i get dates for next year i'll stick them up in the wales section !

£65 for about 5/6 sessions each of about 15 min

Very tempted to part ex the nc30 and the cbr125r together and buy a nice little 600cc for next year !!!

The only people I could find doing track days at llandow were https://www.cheaptrackdays.com

Do you know how many days shortcircuitpromotions did there this year?

Be good doing track days there since I live about 10 minutes away

website for llandow is https://www.llandow.com/

[Valentino Mossy]

Doh ! I knew there was a reason why i had two website addressess in my favourites !

Off hand when i looked at the list there seemed to be about 10 or more days of trackdays.
If you go to the track,pop into the cafe there and see darren dauncey. He's the bloke running the trackdays for the bikes AT llanddow.
I positive the first one is in march about the time of my birthday (cough...23rd !.....trackday pressie please !).

2nd of June is my sister's birthday. If it's not term time, then there's little point in me doing it. But if you need a place to stay in bristol after/before Jon. Then I've got a place there.

If it's term time, I wanna do it! I've joined up, I'll have a look around.

Dunno what term times are for uni, but I know for sixth form it is half term.

My sisters birthday is 3rd June, fuck em, trackdays are better.

I don't need place to stay, this trackday is actually close to me.
