As you say Mallory does benifit rac shift set up but I just can't get on with it.
Nice pics by the way, glad you all enjoyed yourselves!

The Gerards chicane isn't there permanently, only certain clubs use it at their discretion and it's never used on No Limits trackdays I've done there since it's been put in - it's also never used on Wednesday afternoon parctise sessions. Unfortunately Bemsee used it last year and there were huge numbers of crashes, to the extent that a large number of prominent riders told the organisers that they wouldn't do another Mallory meeting with them if the chicane was used again. My mate Danny crashed there twice that weekend and we took his ZX10R home with huge amounts of damage (If it had been an older road bike I'd have thrown it in a skip); by far the worst meeting he has ever had and he swore he'd never go on that circuit again if that chicane was in place.
