Any Sohoers taking a van? Just in case of course.

Weether, March. Weather, March. What's the weather usually like at the end of March? Will super sticky stupid tyres get warm enough if it's dry?

Tyres will get plenty warm enough on the track (what type are you thinking of using BTW?), though its sooooo important to make sure you take it easy for the three warm up laps on each session

Not sure anyone going from here has a van, but there are some other people coming from the ZX-10 website, and a few of them do have vans/trailers. If worst comes to worst (and please make sure it doesn't!) I'm sure something could be sorted out. Oh and make sure you have breakdown cover too, PM me if that bit needs explaining.

I've got a Daytona 675 with Pirelli Dragons on it. Only done trackdays on the D220s on the SV and Z6s. Bit nervous the tyres won't get up to temp with me on board.

i have a van although i don't think it's big enough for my bike to go into (citroen berlingo), but i will probably borrow my workmates one which is a relay (if i can fix the bike to the floor (it has a wooden floor!!)). if it's possible to fix em down then i can probably get another 2 bikes in, which would fill all 3 seats. if anyone would want to come in that. i will be going that way if i can.

There's no need to be scared, think of a trackday as a sunday rideout with all the rubbish bits removed, there's no-one going the other way, no manhole covers, no-one pulling out on you, in the unlikely event of anything slippy on the road someone will wave a flag at you and tell you about it, and no surprises as all the corners will be known to you once you've been 'round a couple of times.
Not meaning you, but I'm surprised at some of the people who are disinclined to ride on the track especially when you see the way they ride on the road, which has risks that the track simply doesn't involve.
