Cadwell Park TD photos

So yesterday was a jaunt down to Cadwell with the SV in the back of the sheep trailer. Got down there with a little remaining dampness on the roads and track. Booked in, had been put into novice/inters by the Focused Events organisers which I wasn't too pleased with, because I had only done 1 TD at Cadwell before and inters was jammed pack. As Cadwell is tight and the SV lacking in power it made for a lot of interesting overtakes, including 6 bikes on the brakes going heading down to Mansfield. Anyway by heading out towards the front of each group I got not too much traffic, and after a cold first session I soon got into the Cadwell flow.

Mansfield (where a little work is required on apexing ) :









The money shot at "THE Mountain," ok the front wheel is barely off the tarmac but it felt like I was reaching for the sky:



Exiting the hairpin:



And coming off track:



Another good track day, got some best lap times of 1min55 using my patented D.A.D timing device (not sure if that's good, bad or indifferent?), and had a nice ride home from Boroughbridge to home via Sutton bank and the Helmsley TT after dropping the bike off the trailer.

Great pics again Tim - I'm very jealous of the number of TDs you're getting in!

Shot over the Mountain looks like you are controlling it well to keep oil starvation to a minimum

Still haven't got some rearsets then

awesome. looks like you had fun!
my problem with mansfield wasnt hitting the apex, its just that i decided to hit it with my chin...
slight thread jack. oil starvation??

You looked to be having fun gobbling up the opposition on the bends - probably better than Croft for that?
There were some ' interesting ' lines bit you didn't take long to work round them.
ps: sending PM

I was hoping some kind .orger may pop a set in the post for me, but no luck yet! Running out of TDs this year to make a set feasible.... Unless I book some more

Yep, that's exactly what I was doing, I had it all worked out

SV's can have a problem with oil starvation if the front wheel is kept in the air too long...

Mansfield is the weirdest corner, downhill, lefthander and stupidly bumpy/uneven.

Looking good though, I need to get co cadwell on a bike soon.
