To Mallory or not to Mallory... that is the question

Its 8:30pm Friday night, because I am self employed and the sh*t hit the fan I have been stuck working since 8am today instead of being up at Mallory test day.

Now Mallory isnt my best friend.. the very last time I saw the track was in 2008 on an ACU test day and I crashed.

To make matters worse I have just had my new forks fitted from a 696 and as they were slightly shorter than the last ones the geometry changed. Also to stop the fairing grounding the rear ride height has been jacked up. Plus I have a new brakes.

So after knowing how bad Mallory can be, should I get up and 5am and drive from London and attempt to re-learn the track and get use to the bike in a 10 min practice and a 15 min qualifier? After reading some of these posts about the nightmares the track can cause I am wondering if I am mad even trying?

However, that said I could just go and take it easy... if I know how?
