Northwind - its nice to see you getting your excuses in early but we'll have forgetten them by the summer - maybe re-post around March? We all know your quick ans ride like the (North) wind.

Jdubya - Have you been to Lydden? I found it's a nice little track which I enjoyed but I've seen quite a lot of offs there as the track is so narrow & small (so you start lapping or being lapped quickly) and there's no run off area. Also, there are no pits so if its a bit wet you have no real cover. I think the bacon sandwiches/all day breakfast are the best available though. Snetterton is a great first timer track and fast without being technical. But I'm easy - I'll do any track

It's conceivable you could be more wrong, but not by very much
