Snetterton Track day report

[sc0tt]

Left yesterday afternoon at 4pm with supplies.



Got to the hilton around the same time as yazza and hebegb. Decided that the queue of 1 person to check in was too long so hit the drink. It went pretty much downhill from there.

We ate some food, eventually when Gareth arrived.



Hebegb wore a coat



He then scared yazza



I then went to bed and woke up and went to the track.



Mat did a sterling job again today when I kept ended up with a box of neutrals as I could get the positioning of my foot right. Changed all the rearsets around for me.



Ryan's, Leslies, grahams, gareths and Tonys Bike.



I nearly binned it on the first sighting lap but I didn't want to take the crown off Gareth.

Had 20 minutes of instruction and improved no end. Lunch seems to break the momentum for me and I did one after lunch and packed in. 5 Sessions is plenty for me. I even managed to pass some people



Hebegb said don't bring the hat so I did.



GWM avoided salad



Fleegle looked at me funny



Cracking day out with the lads. Nobody fell off and a good day was had by all.

Can't ask for more than that.

What's going on with Mat's rearsets / your feet that makes a GSXR gearbox rubbish?

When's the next one? I did a temp job at United Biscuits when they were trying to copy Jaffa cakes and I'm a flippin' expert at eating them!

The positioning of my foot couldn't get under the lever properly. Its my foot, not the bike. Once it was adjusted it was perfect. Loving the quickshifter action on the back straight.

Looks great. You guys would have been on why my mates Stephen and Arran. Matt was also doing bikes for them.

Arran from croydon? Spoke to him today.

This is the session I let sc0tt in front of me, until I passed him on the back straight. Let the riding criticism commence!

Good vid! I had fun

[sc0tt]

Tony posted a 2:14 and a 2:09

What timing gear are you using?

2:10 is fast group.

Edit - I only ask as your vid shows a 2:50 so thats quite some improvement.

This is not going to end well.

I posted a time using my lap timer on 675's stopwatch, I was 1 second out from my claimed time when I returned and was timed by loon...it has to be to the nearest tenth

Not at all. Fair play if he did. But the video shows a 2:50

As I said quite some improvement.

I'm not stirring gareth, no reason to disbelieve you. But i was timing tony on my iphone lapping him as he came past when the girls werent jabbering.

If you youtube snetterton fast a 2:10 look to be a solid fast group pace.

Fair play to you. I just nicked the 2:50 from one of your vids.

Hahaha, no I must have ballsed up somewhere as that can't be right. If I can barely keep up with folk in Novice there's no way I was doing "fast" times.

Unless tony is st and was having us on.

I'll just leave the National, Clubman and Rookie Endurance results from Snetterton that Saturday here. Each team's best lap is on there too

I'll say in advance,mothers is too much obsession on here around lap times. Worry about those when you know a track, are running at the head of Inters or in Fast, not while you're in novice.

What team is yours Gareth
