Oulton 27th / 28th Feb
Discussion
Don't, you'll be fine. It doesn't look like it's full. I bottled it a few times and regret it now as sticking with fast would've been better. The lad who's on the 131 R1 has only done one day in Fast too so he's new to it as well and he's barely ridden in 18 months.

I'm starting to get cold feet about being in the fast group. Anyone want to swap for inters...?
Don't worry there's only loon in the fast group that you'll know so if you do Piss every one off at least it's the one member that's known for biting his lip and not saying exactly what he thinks of you 
...your screwed ha

It's bloody cold on the bike. Make sure you've got stuff to keep you warm!
A little tip if you are wearing summer gloves on track. Wear a pair of latex gloves underneath....you will maintain feel but it will keep the chill off. Take them off after the session and only wear them the once. If you wear them for longer, the sweat builds up and starts chilling LoonR1 said:

That's encouraging, it'll probably be a good experience for me then.Edited by LoonR1 on Thursday 26th February 15:26
Need to decide on my front tyre now; there's a Racetech K1 on there now, which would be ideal, but it's 5 years old. It seemed ok last time I used it though.
Or I've got a decent scrub Supercorsa SC2, probably a less suitable compound, but it's a 2014 date.
Which is the lesser of two evils?

Bloody hell you're keen. I can't do anything until I get home this evening. Early doors at the track will be a good idea to help us make sure we still own the garage.
Organised chaos! Never put the bike on the trailer before by myself but was dead easy so it just happens to be ready early!
Should be able to get there for 6.45 gate opening.

You bugger. That was going to be my awesome tip for the day tomorrow. grahamr88 said:

No idea. All sports tyres and most sports touring ones are better than I'll ever be. Need to decide on my front tyre now; there's a Racetech K1 on there now, which would be ideal, but it's 5 years old. It seemed ok last time I used it though.

Assuming, it's not been used to within an inch of its life in terms of heat cycles, etc, the more recent tyre is the better bet. If the 5 year old tyre has been stored out of UV exposure and heat, it may be OK, but personally I wouldn't want to risk it given the potential ramifications of a front end tuck at somewhere like OultonOr I've got a decent scrub Supercorsa SC2, probably a less suitable compound, but it's a 2014 date.
