Hi Pennine massive!
I was out a few weeks ago and got given a card for a series of charity rideouts at the three sisters track near wigan, I was planning on attending on august 10th, £5 per 3 laps of the circuit & goes to charity obviously! Reports say its been good in the past & would be great for any track virgins (like me) to have a bash without feeling pressured, as far as im aware the only restrictions are a road legal bike (and licenced rider), ive yet to hear if leathers are also a requirement as with some tracks. I realise its a bit away but if we can get a sticky going would be great to have a good turnout from the org, especially for charity. Add your names if you interested! So Far we have: Avenger Davepreston christopher Mister C (coming for a watch) DaveP Jamesunhill bigspud (coming for a watch) Damian Last edited by Avenger; 06-03-10 at 09:09 PM.

Lo
Just to give you folks a nod this is mainly a go kart track. Its not very big (but extremely fun in the ice) so 3 laps will go quick, plus theres no way you can go super quick on it. Karting a laff on it tho..... |

For what it's worth, a few of us went to watch Col (Mister C) and his son race at 3 Sisters and it was great. Quite tight and technical with only two main (rather short) straights, this is the layout they use for the bikes...

Yup... a few laps in on the right-hander after the main start/finish straight (due to target fixation if I remember correctly). It was a great day except for that incident which I wasn't going to mention

i will be there again this year if i can can get my butt into gear & renew my ACU. 3 Sisters is a fantastic little circuit if you want to learn how to corner. It is a go kart track, but it is ideal for a middleweight bike. The SVs and the 600s go really well around there. A good lap is about 57 to 59 seconds, so not long. I did a 1min 6 seconds on my FZR in my 1st race, it is quite technical, but a lot of fun. I might come down & watch if people are going. ![]()

I think im looking forward to the day more knowing its more of a technical track than out and out speed, being a noob to the track i think a very fast one would probably give me a good scare!
must remember to get myself some new tyres before then |
