I might wonder along at the last minute. I have my 1st race there next month on my 800ss racer so, I've got lots to do and some testing as well - a trackday might be helpful beforehand.
yes! i am going and trying out my new (to me) trackbike number 300 blue gixxer 600 - come say hello - i have missed the last few rideouts so would be good to meet you
If you get there about 6am and get in one of the garages there is power, other wise there is a hook-up point right at the very end of the paddock - opposite the green bus, where the gate is to walk up to the banking - however, it is the round pin-type socket from memory.
This is also well known also and gets taken quickly due to its location.
You'll be fine in inters - I've even done it on my 900ss, just stay on line so others know what to expect, if they are that fast they will be used to going around people, hopefully safely!
Just ride at your own pace - not anyone elses.
My only other word of advise is try and find a good instructor, especially when moving up - finding a good 'un to help you out can work wonders - just ask 'em, its what you've paid for.
Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
LRBT,
There isn't usually a problem getting space in a garage with power. I'll be there but not at 6.00am!!! track time doesn't start until 9.30 at Croft, I've turned up at 8 to 8.30 and still not had a problem getting garage space. No gaurantees though.
Not sure if I am vanning it or riding up with Martin M.
Sure it can be a bit nerve wracking moving up a group for the first time but IMHO whatever group you are in there will be peeps faster and slower.
I'd regard myself as pretty steady inter. Sure the bike is capable of going faster but I'm not!
Look out for a 998 and me mate with a battered R1.
No sure if WJB is gonna be there but No limits have a raft of good instructors, ( and yes that does include WJB!! before anyone reads this the wrong way!!)
Still too early for me, Ray, I am afraid. It's looking like early August for me. The first one will be Croft, or maybe Elvington as a preliminary shakedown. Either way, you should have no problem hearing it even where you are!
Alternatively, I'll be more than happy to demonstrate what the 998R can do in the fast group, especially if you put wets on!
