Wet Track Days
Discussion
Mornin' all...
The weather forecast for Monday is currently sh*te and I've got my first track day at Snetterton.
What are your tips for enjoying a wet track day as much as possible?
I'm getting to the point where I'm not really looking forward to it now, just thinking of it as a formality - turn up, ride around apprehensively , go home

It's not forecast to be horrendous, 40% chance of showers throughout the day, so we might get away with it, you never know...
It's been booked and paid for now as a birthday present, so I'm going regardless and if it looks like being a really bad one, I'll just hope there's a tyre man there to sort me out with some wets.

It's my first proper track day ever.
I've done the Ron Haslam day and a few laps of the ring but I've booked myself on as a novice.
The weather's looking like starting dry now with a possibility of showers later on, so I'm really hoping that we get lucky and avoid it altogether but if it does rain downshifts are one thing that I had already been thinking about as the Mille does like to lock up if you're a bit quick into 2nd.

What-da-ya-know? - forecast says it's going to warm and dry all day now.
See you there.
What group were you in / bike were you on, bladerrw (assuming that it was a different one to the one that is your username)??See you there.
Didn't work out too bad weather-wise in the end.
I was in novices, so after the rain / lunch there were two other groups out before me, so the worst I saw on track was a couple of damp patches.
