BSB Free practice, Oulton Friday

[mister c]

1st time I've been to BSB since Mackenzie & Whitham were riding for Cadburys Boost. Had a really good day, so thought I'd share some pictures with you. I really want to buy a decent lens & will have to save up instead of buy mopeds & spending a fortune on them I'm really pleased with these saying that they were taken with the cheap 75-300mm Canon lens.

Most of them are taken coming out of Druids

i'm not into racing or know race tracks so Druids means nothing to me.. lol

it just looks like most of the riders are counter leaning to set themselves up for an opposing corner as their body position is all wrong and very strange.

Here you go, this was written by Niall Mackenzie, ex superbike racer.
"The left flick of Hislops should be taken slowly in 2nd so you can get back to the left for a clean run through what was the original and amazing Knickerbrook corner. Shortshifting from 2nd to 3rd gear between this left/right section works as you’ll see the track opens out just past the right apex. I use all the track on my exit and some paint (if it’s dry) to ensure maximum speed as I swing left up Clay Hill clipping the left apex at the top. I’ll roll the throttle back just on the crest to settle the front then roll it on again as I continue round to Druids. This section is 5th gear and super fast so building speed up over lots of laps is crucial if you want to see the day out. As I rush past the final left kerb I am closing the throttle then shifting back to 3rd gear for the double apex Druids corner. A real test.

So it just shows what sort of speed these lads are doing & popping wheelies. They are trying to get straight to get the power down for the run down to Lodge corner.
