go for it!! Did Cadwell Park this weekend and the weather was fantastic, dry sunny and the full circuit for £69. Better weather than we had at the DD rounds this year. Go for it you know it makes sense. I have only ever had one wet track day and that was the Dave Harris evening at Brands but also probably one of the best track days I've done. |
No power at donny so if warmers are the order of the day. Take a genny. I wouldn't venture out untill after 10.30 am and I would stop at around 3.30 pm. Once that sun goes down the temp will plummet and the track will start to condensate. |
Oh yes, last time we were there as soon as that sun started to go down the temperature dropped a lot. Being as we've had frost this morning, Jon's advice sounds very good to me! |
Wow what a track .. my all time favorite track could now be Donny (instead of Cadwell) We got out on track just after 10am, had to wait for a couple of ice patches to melt first. Numbers were low so they split us into two groups instead of the normal three, which meant more track time, I think I had 8 sesssions and did over 50 laps. But I still couldn't say I know the track well, say like like Mallory or Cadwell. Highlights for me must be the run down Hollywood and through Craner curves - absolutely awesome, especially as you cant see them to satrt with :o and also the run up through Scwantz Curve is cracking when you get it flowing right - not many times yesterday for me! But I still need to learn the track alot as I only started usign full thottle after lunch :lol: Kept forgetting the "slow in/fast out" approach especially at the Old Hairpin and Mcleans which messed up the exit line and speed. Approach to Coppice is weird as well going uphill/over a brow and you have to brake before seeing the corner - well at least I did, good job there was good run off for me in my early sessions :D First time out on Diablo's and they took awhile to warm up (hardly suprising in Nov') but after 2 or 3 laps they seemed good. I can't wait till August now. Cheers |

What were you riding DG? I saw a few bods on Ducs but nobody I knew. I was running the YELLOW 996 with 65 on the number board in the fast group. |
"What were you riding DG?" Hi Yeti, I was riding a black 620 Sport in the slow group. |

Ah, that figures. Was vaguely aware of a 620 |
