I can't turn my headlights off, they are permantly on. Unless i open her up and do some surgery. I clicked on the "never been to the track before" option and it put me in the novice group, bloody cheek

Looks like everyone will have everything covered, should be good! Do people do tyre pressures before going on? Or do normal road pressures suffice?

"surgery"?

How many seconds can it take to reach into the back of the headlight and disconnect it?

Don't just tape over them, pull the connections to the bulbs. If you put tape of the lit bulb, the glue will melt onto your lens

He has a naked so need to undo the screw to remove the headlight from the headlight bowl. So some "surgery" required. I reckon that'll total about 90 of them there seconds.
