get a credit for KH and go to croft, its amazing

[v60marko]

I think I might have actually phoned tomorrow to cancel, if it weren't for the iffy forecast in Darlington on Tuesday. Forecast is way better up here on Monday so on this occasion I'll stick with that

[moanthebairns]

take your wets Monday.

That said I bought a set and out of the 8 trackdays I done this year it only rained once.

I never had my wets with me that day for a morning session so I haven't used them at all.

This summer has been great during the week.

I don't have wets It's all looking a bit grim, girl at Knockhill said I've until 12:00 to cancel. If I do I'm going to look on no limits to see whats available. Shame it looks bad at Croft on Tuesday too or I'd be well game.

Having said all that, metoffice is the most pessimistic forecast I've seen, others are not so bad

Just book into the fast group at Croft. If you're not fast enough they will just move you down.

fully booked at cadwell.

I'd be too embarrassed to book onto fast.

Think marks ruling it out as he only rides in the dry that's why he bought slicks, which is fair enough.

Brands on Monday 15th or Snet next Sunday 21st you could then go straight to Brands on Monday may as well considering your already down south.....If I want laid up i'd be up for it.

I quite like the look of the FE Catagena at the end of Nov but I'm in Thailand then

[moanthebairns]

there is no way in gods green earth I would be driving all the way to brands for a track day

Cancelled. Loads of spaces still left, I'm going to see what the forecasts say over the weekend and hopefully re-book if it changes it's mind

lol I said to myself when I got into this track day malarky that I'm just going to have to accept ill be doing a lot of traveling, Thats why if I can get a couple done in a trip down south then that would be ideal, st it takes me 3 hours just to get to Knockhill on a good day.

[moanthebairns]

Just went for a fag, I can safely say I wouldn't have booked after seeing the sky and how cold it is here 15 miles away. As a rule of thumb its normally at least a few degree cooler and stter at the hill.

did you got mark?

[v60marko]

Did I fk! Looks like I made the right call and saved myself a good few quid. Still gutted though, I really wanted to ride today.

I cancelled at the last gasp just to see what the forecasts were saying, on Friday. Weather at Croft looked no better at that point

[v60marko]

Looks dry for Croft tomorrow. Should have booked.... Hindsight is great. I'm looking for spare wheels now.

[moanthebairns]

buying tyres you can use in the wet is far better than hindsight
