Re: Who wants to do a cheap track day with me???
23 crashed though on that day. Thinks its less when its dry, but not sure. My mate totally destroyed his bike. Think he said he put just a little extra power coming out of a corner and bam! Eat grass.

I hate riding in the rain and have only done it a couple of times. Scares the crap out of me. Suppose it's a good way to learn but would rather it was sunny.

It copes, you just have to accept that people will get you on the straights. In novice at Silverstone I was far from being the slowest in the group.

As for doing a TD in the wet, don't forget on track you don't have the constant white lines, drain covers dotted around which helps. Silverstone is very wide so if you do need to sit up it's not the end of the world.
Here was a soaking day last March, when the tarmac was brand new and not confidence inspiring. I'm a bit quicker since then! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXwGfJLZDpc |

Re: Who wants to do a cheap track day with me???
I did combe on 33bhp n that was so frustrating, faster in the corners and on brakes but no power to get out of the corners! haha think il just put the real ecu if i do silverstone.
I have done the old silverstone circuit in a car and loved it, i like the width of the track, inspires confidence if u make a hash of it. |

Re: Who wants to do a cheap track day with me???
Did Brands Hatch yesterday and had a really good day. Started off a little greasy but soon dried up and started putting in some nice neat laps
Wet track days can be great fun, I've enjoyed plenty of them no end. One thing I tend to see is people riding carfully. By late morning in mid-summer on a dry day you can see people starting to ride in blind faith that they have unlimited grip. In the wet people tend to be more conservative, which is good Jambo
