Default Re: Mallory park 7/5/11

Yup, first time on the wets. Had a great time. Really suprised at the amount of grip available. Was tipping into the left at Edwinas and banging it down to the right as quick as I could and didn't have one loss of grip.

The crash was nothing to do with lack of grip or tyre slipping at all. I just misjudged how quickly/slowly a fella was going and found myself ariving at his back wheel way faster than I had anticipated. I braked and stupidly used my rear brake too which locked the back up. Slid for a while at a 45 degree angle behind the guy until he finally tipped in. Once he had I left off the rear brake with an idea to go straight at edwinas but as I did the wheel gripped again and spat me off.
