Great day, great company, great track.

Many thanks to Freak and Lil for the hospitality on Tues eve and to No Limits for another great trackday.

Special thanks to Fil2 who was kind enough to lend me his 2007 championship winning 620 for the day, as mine is not a happy bunny at the mo (hope Nelly can sort it out for me, just 8 days before the race!!!!)

The white beauty is very fast and well set up. I didn't thrash it honest mister!!!! - just ask Couch!!!

Got home at 11pm, then had Harry's night feeds to keep me focussed - tired now!!

LOL I briefly saw Fil2's bike as he passed me and disappeared

Not a bad day for me I'm getting used to the bike, I think I managed one session where I wasn't lapped by at least one 620 so that's an improvement

Wicked day, I love it when the weather/your confidence improves through the day.

Many thanks to JPM/Lily for the bbq. Lovely house and a great get together of the north and south. Look forward to digging deeper into Ian's video iPod files next time.....

Still not sure about the circuit. I enjoyed it, but struggled to get a good clean lap in. It's not a circuit where you can afford to ride the kerbs, and a couple of trips to the grass had me changing my metaphorical keks! Definitely seem to me to be somewhere that takes a few days to get the hang of, and not somewhere you'd want to be racing in the wet.... oil on glass springs to mind.

Cheers,

Ali

I thought Donington was bad, but it's not a patch on that place! I came in after the sighting laps thinking my front tyre was flat cos the front kept trying to tuck and move around. Either that or the place is a death trap. 31 psi.....oh poo

will be good fun if its wet for those that havent been there before.

You lot must be riding too fast.

I remember Oulton being quite grippy in the wet :S

In the olden days

I think just staying upright and waiting for the over enthusiastic to fall off will be order of the day if it rains!
