track day cherry
 

My first track day yesterday at Brands. I was on a 999 in a garage with lots of DSC members. Have sent my membership off today! Really friendly group, thanks for being a sociable bunch.
Only critisim I have of the day was that in the novice group meeting we were told to break for lunch and then go out after - but no-one told the announcers on pit lane so I sat there eating my lucnh whilst at least half the group went off and had a nice empty track.
I'll put it down to expereince and know better next time.
Looking forward to being a part of the club.

KP,

Welcome, and you are quite well placed for the Kent rideouts as well, keep an eye out for notices from Tom Stack ..... he's the Kent regional organiser, plus you ae just down the road from Lizzie our "Membership Queen" ....

Glad you enjoyed the day ....

again big thank you to gary and catherine and family of helpers at apex for a great day ... i thought the lunch and classroom sessions a bonus which made it far better than the average trackday.

speaking to apex afterwards there is a brands indy trackday with them now on thursday 25th of august (was on 30th) and as this is 2 weeks before the brands dd round i think i'll be there.... and will certainly be looking at next year on the gpo circuit.

big thank you also to pietro for organising me and the dsc discount.

oooh 25th August .... mmmmmmmm ... lol

Thanks for the tips Dibs. Are there any meeting arrangements for those going to the GP?

yeah, there will be loads of threads on that coming soon, just keep an eye out .... although a lot of us are going to Cadwell on the Sunday for the club trackday on the Monday ......

I am personally haveing a pre GP lunch at mine before going to Cadders in a van with Mike n Lizzie ....

Fantastic track....very friendly atmosphere....fruit + lunch was a good idea.....all round, a very good day.

PS. Lots of red bikes out on track, but where were the other yellow 749's ?

at the factory being finished ... silly boy ... :frog:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought the red one's were supposed to be faster :puzzled:

Thanks everyone at Apex for a fantastic day.

I have fulfilled a life long ambition to ride the GP instead of riding the Indy and wondering what it was like out on the real Brands Hatch.

I think you ran the day excellently.

I was the one lining up at the front in the blue group (Kamikaze) every session, going out with no traffic and having a ball, can’t thank you enough folks.

I did also realise one other ambition during the day although unintentionally, that being the one hundred miles per hour stoppy after missing my braking point at the end of the start/finish straight just before going in to Paddock. Thankfully this was completed successfully, as the result of it being unsuccessful don’t bear thinking about.

Lovely people with a well run ship good luck in the future.
