would i be better off on a "normal track day" first.

Bring your license with you just in case you can’t resist having a go.
This day on the indi in the novice group will without doubt be the friendliest way
on to a circuit.
I remember thinking about a day and going to watch days before jumping in and having a go.
I was getting meself in a right old state.
The novice group is for riders to get out for the first time or riders just enjoying their bike
without the threat of oncoming cars or licence removal. On Wednesday “unlike some days I have attended” over exuberant riders will be escorted to the next level to play.
Don’t worry about times or groups too much just line up in the novice group roll out of the pit lane
and get amongst it. No racing, just riding some nice bends with no manholes or diesel.
You should have no expectation of a time you have to achieve on your first day out or feel that you are holding anyone up. It is the responsibility of everyone else to be in the right group not yours as a
first timer.
I think the most important thing to get sorted out when you first venture on to the track is to feel like you have as much right to be out there doing your thing as anyone. This normally comes flooding over you the moment you overtake for the first time, immediately justifying your presence.
Never ever feel like your not fast enough to have a go, it is a track day not a race day.
You buy a ticket to ride round at !!!!your own pace!!!!, if that is to fast you will be moved up.
It can’t be to slow in the novice group, they always contain first timers.
The first time is always the hardest but if you’re watching and your thinking you might as well
get it over with, It’s a great place to ride a bike.
omho
