Nice, but I don't see air between that rear tyre and the tarmac

Unfortunately that's why I have to work for a living - I'm no BSB rider. To do what they do up there must require removal of the self
preservation part of their brain

Surely that would lose you pace if you're not putting power to the tarmac

a couple of my mates were up there yesterday. One of them laid his old r plate cbr 600 down. Was it wet? He blamed it on cars drifting a few days
before and a damp track. He always has an excuse though!
So give me some dirt was the track that bad, seems ok in the pics!

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It was dry most of the day - but it absolutely threw it down at lunch time - a proper heavy shower for about 10 mins.
There had been a 'drifting' meeting there at the weekend, so there was a lot of rubber in strange places.
I thought there might be more come off than there was.
So depending on what time of day he came off, he's got a good excuse - especially if it was straight after lunch.
I didn't see him in the 'van of shame' though

We were there in the evening to test a Saxo out, weather held off until the end and the track was nice and dry, love the pics by the way but prefer
the relative safety of 4 wheels
