Dunlop, yeah I was at UKMOC day. I was on a red S2R in the novice. By the end of the day only S4Rs Mack was overtaking me (only once a session!) although it was more like a "super novice" as lots of 1st timers.
Might be another track day soon in mixed company and see how I get on. Confidence is getting there, just need some skills to match
