When I started out they said once the chequered flag is out half pace for the rest of the lap. I done this next time I was there and got told off. Well spoken to politely. That is was to continue as normal till the last corner. Then half pace.
I had a mate doing the ACU test. On the race start practice at Brands they are clearly told to proceed when the light goes out and they are coming into the pits via Surtees and not doing a full lap. They are told they don't need to be race pace after the start but should me mindful of other bikes if slowing down. Red lights go off and they all sprint off the line only for the guy in front to slam the brakes on going into Paddock. My mate had to ditch his bike to avoid taking him out....at a cost of £1700.Some people will never get it
I think that rule was set out on a intro night, I continued it to the next track day and this wasn't the norm.

As said, my mate will be there, he will be in a black Vito and has a red and white Triumph 675 (no 152 and '666' race decals).
I will be looking out for everyone but he will hopefully make a bit of space for me.

This isn't the first time where knockhill seem to have slightly differing rules from down south.
I can only assume its because they aren't from the same organiser, and on the day it depends who you get.
Our briefing on Sunday was. All been before, yup.
All happy, yup.
Ok, don’t stop on track, you might get black flagged, could be a problem with the bike or aggressive overtaking, take a sticker.

A few open session ones.
Anyway, I tend to go with the flow on the day, I rarely start a track at the front and would keep my speed consistent with what I see. I just have never pinned it when joining a track, that might be with not having tyre warmers before. But I might need to in future.

Anyone know of a restaurant near Anglesey I think the mrs is coming. f

Some place you can wear jeans and sambas and get mcd's style grub. I think a pub is what I'm looking for that sells pub grub.

Also a pizza takeaway there.
