at Snett we were out with some of the Big Boys and my god when they went past on the back straight my bike shook!! There was prabably 70 mph plus difference between us, and tbh everytime I got towards the bridge I thought 'hope they have their head up!'

I dont know what is the problem cos I dont really have the experience. It may just be that the 600s have not been out with the DD bikes before and as such their expectations does not match reality.

In other clubs there have been similar incidents where two different classes have different braking points and you get a clash. Maybe being with New Era for several years the guys that shared track with the DD bikes knew what to expect??

I cant see a different way of splitting the test day, hopefully it wont happen again

I've just booked the last Track Day slot on friday, then read that its intermediates and advanced running togeather, hope it's not too mental. Looks like two groups for ACU testers and then the trackday entries going out at 20 min intervals all day. Odd set up? pete
