I did an evening at Snetterton on Monday and depending on how it goes you might even get 4 sessions - the last two track evenings I did ended up with 4 sessions due to no "incidents"

That would make it even better

Im sure 3 will be plenty though. Had a "roundabout track" play last night and my arms n legs were killing me after 20 minutes, so this should work out nicely with my "lack of fitness level

Ooh, thanks for bringing this to my attention: it's just the kind of thing that I'd like and it's a local track too. Not in the country for this one but definitely going to go later on in the year.

I think for a first session, during the evening, thats a nice amount of time to get used to it and enjoy your first track day (on a bike anyway.......).

Then I can save and go back and do it properly

But anyway, i AM going to book this event, so if theres any .orgers wanting to take to the track, feel free to jump in.

You can have my friends and my old man to gas to if you get bored
Thanks for that info Damio, good to know.

my only concern would be what if someone did a Venom and came off very early in a spectacular way and close the track for a good long time. 20min session, early crash, clean up time ... forget that session.

Either way, you booked so i;m not raining on your parade mate. Go have fun, get the trackday (on a bike) bug and post of some pics of you failing to get your knee down as spectacularly as i fail to get mine down all the time.
If you do get your knee down on your first trackday
a. dont let it be followed rather rapidly by your shoulder, bike and butt
b. i wont like you no more.

And i didn't like you one bit when i knew you got your knee down. I get over things quite quickly tho, lol.
I still do try it on the roundabouts near home tho, they deserve to have my slider marks around them.
