If there's life in them, I'd use them mate. Long as its not a stupidly close call.

Wouldn't bother with tyre warmers Dave. Just give it at least a lap or two to get them warm.

Looks like everyone is going to do Mallory on 28th then...???

Cheers binky, just noticed they were £30 anyway so that's good.

Not sure about everyone, but I'm looking too.


I'll see how bad the tyres are after the weekend

Did you say the other one you were thinking about is Oulton? If so, its an MSV track (so no restricteds).

Having never done a track day can anyone come and watch for a bit? Be a good ride if the weathers half good.

I think you have to pay £10, £15 (at mallory) but you get to see loadsa cool ****, massive dirtbike jumps, track riding etc. Watching people on the track really is good 10x so if you know them. I could be wrong about the entry fee perhaps that's only when there's an event on.

There is a novice group (which I'll be in) and I bet half will have never done a track day before it (I've not done a proper one) why not join in?
