Default Re: 1st track day booked

mmmm. General tips? Apologies if too basic.

Get there early so you don't have to rush/ panic getting ready. You can camp at Snet for a fiver if you need to.
Try and sign on and get the noise test done early so you can relax.
Get in a Garage. There are plenty at Sneterton.
Check your brakes and fluid levels. Make sure you have plenty of brake pad left. If in doubt change them.
If you are a worrier like me, check the torque on wheels, forks and brakes.
Snet is a big track, do try and memorise the basic layout before you go.
Usually there will be a Tyre fitter/ seller in the Paddock. Ask him for advice on tyre pressures. It will depend on the conditions.
You will NOT be the slowest, so don't feel under pressure to blitz it. Take your time. Guaranteed there will be people in every group, who'll bin it on the day. Don't let it be you.
If you are struggling on the track then see if you can get an Instructor. If you are going with No Limits, they are great and don't charge.

When you get on the straights, relax, HEAD DOWN, BUM UP AND KEEP IT PINNED!
