might be worth sending Jools a u2u as he tracks his ST2 and will have some suspension settings, he may well be along later ...

in relation to your 1st trackday, try and choose somewhere that isn't too far to travel, I reckon Rockingham would be a good choice as it has a good mix of corners ... then maybe Brands but thats a little further to travel ....

personally if you are riding to a circuit then you dont want too long a ride home, you'll be amazed how tired you are ..... might even be worth renting a van .....
