Oulton Park yesterday

[mister c]

Good turnout at a VERY cold Oulton Park yesterday. The track wasn't opened until 11 o'clock because of ice, which was a good thing as my battery was flat and the vacuum hose to my petrol tap had come dislodged :(
Couple of SVs there, 1 in the inters & 1 in the fast boys. It was a good shakedown for the bike & everything went smoothly after the morning fiasco. I have now worked out my track riding problems (I know where I'm going wrong) & am going to continue doing trackdays this year & race probably next year now. Stayed dry all day with bright sunshine, but cold. The track did start to dry quite nicely by the end of the day.
Anyway, few pics.

Guy on the ZX did my sons head in. He had a video camera fitted & kept wheelying all over the place. The guy on the R6 started off really slow, but had an instructor showing him the ropes & he got faster during the day. I would reccomend any trackday virgins to try the free instruction, it seemed to work for this lad. I was cheesed off because I could pass him at the start of the day, but not at the end :(

Got my next one booked for 2nd Feb - £49 at Oulton again, then Donington on 22nd
