Good stuff. I've no idea what a decent time round Cadwell is, but you progressed nicely.

Why are you in 1st gear there?

1' 39" on a 12 year old Mille isn't too shabby

40-49's are decent, depending on bike/tyres/track experience in reasonable weather.

If I was you I'd drop your tyre pressures by at least 3-5 psi before heading out, then set them up as soon as you get in.

Visor cleaner - it's pretty buggy with all the wet weather!

Snetterton tomorrow!

First time on track in 5 years, so have forgotten most of the little that I had learnt.

Tyre pressures - I was thinking to do the first session and then set them hot. daytona 675 on 2CT's. Whereabouts should i set them?

I'm taking;

Fuel
paddocks stands
spare levers
spare rear sets
tools
Chair
oreos/red bull


Anything else I should sling in the van?


/excited

See you tomorrow

You can ask Parkitt Racing about tyre pressures but normally TDOs suggest 30/30 cold and go from there.

I'll bring a foot pump and a chair if I can strap it on to the bike.

I'm going to be doing fast on Pirelli Angels so should be interesting

Good call. Be worth putting some anti fog inside too.

Parkitt Racing are great. Don't be afraid to ask them about getting your suspension working properly either.

I have a foot pump and i think I have two chairs!

That would be great. Thx!

Folk on here are doing Oulton Park 23/24th June right? I'm thinking of doing Cadwell Monday and OP Tuesday. I'd do the double at OP Tues/Wed but would rather do different tracks.

Was thinking of Donington on the Sunday but £185 is strong money and feel like it's taking the piss a bit! As much as I liked it.

You need to stop thinking and start booking. It's summer and days fill up quickly now. I know that Fast group sold out very quickly on the OP days.

I'm doing the Tuesday only

Yeah yeah grandad, have to make sure real life doesn't get in the way first.


Cool, Tuesday at OP sounds like a plan.

[LoonR1]

I'm doing the Sunday at Donington. It was the MotoGP weekend so I'm going to be Lorenzo for the day.

Full up already, as is Cadwell on Monday. So will do the double at OP - that should be good practice on how to get round without crashing!

Cool, booked to do the Tuesday and Wednesday.

What group you in?

Yazza - going in Inters for OP?

[curlie467]

Inters, at least I will avoid an ass whupping from you! Just got to survive Yazzas weaving and crabbing bent bike!

Haha, I can barely remember how to get out my own drive let alone all these different tracks

Will Yazza have new excuses, that's the real question !
