| Not such luck for me Wylie, I missed the first session due to be too slow at changing wheels over. Went out in the 2nd session (wet) and took it easy trying to find my feet, This was the first time with wets for me. Went out on the 3rd and final session of the morning ( bucketing it down) but I went quicker and started to really build up my convidence. Durring lunch I found that I had been placed at the back end of the inters group. No problem there I thought because this is all based on times. As soon as the 4th session started and it was still wet I realised that all was not well. Not a full grid and some very slow riders too. I missed the 5th session, again changing wheels. Went out in the 6th session(dry) and the difference in times was very apparent. I actually lapped a guy I could not get a clear lap togeather because of the nature of the circuit (Brands indy) you are always coming up behind guys that are slower in corners. It was much the same in the final session. The irony of it is, how could the instructor keep an eye on me and the others in our group, if I'm at one end of the circuit and they at another. The other frustrating part was having to wait behind the instructor untill he waved you through.
