Re: Croft 9th June
Well that's only 20 mph less than here, just drop your normal top speed by 20 and all should be fine.
Will those off roaders do 110? |

Re: Croft 9th June
I am tempted too, never been to a trackday, only thing that worries me is getting carried away and throwing my bike up the road (expensive) does it end up being like a club race or are people more restrained than that.

Re: Croft 9th June
People tend to be pretty restrained, most TDs I've been on the overtakes have been very polite, plenty of room, no cutting up (apart from one I did in France with mad french men). The mixture of bike & rider abilities means it doesn't get too mad, there are plenty of people with enough self control.
I'd say Croft is a good first circuit, it is quite wide and nice and flowing, with a nice mix of corner types and large amounts of run off at most corners. A better track than say Cadwell for your first experience. Come along and have some fun, I was amazed by riding on track for the first time, it is a completely different experience to riding on the road. |

Re: Croft 9th June
I would be ok at cadwell I think as I did most of my club racing at cadwell, although might be more inclined to get back into race mode there, croft was closed at the time I was racing (early 80,s) so would like to have a ride round there, although cadwell is about the most rewarding bike circuit in the country. I will have to give it some careful consideration and if I can leave the red mist at home I will be out on a track day.

Re: Croft 9th June
Croft is less technical than Cadwell, but still a great circuit for a bike, loads of corners.
Hope to see you there. |
