bc82 - Rockingham 22-03-09 was my first trackday, I managed to get quite a few orgers there too. It's still my favourite track.

And no, that's not a Girls only track day, I just thought it fit the bill nicely!
Any track that doesn't have chicanes is my friend!! I'd be up for that

I love Rockingham!

Although Cadwell remains my firm favourite!

Fizzy fish, there is a chicane but I was straight lining it.....Was a lot quicker....Unless I missed the curb and ended up on the grass.....About 40 seconds in I think

Oh and yes VT.....9:30 sharp at your house!

As long as it's not like that crappy slow one that they had at Silverstone I don't mind!

Oh no....It's not the quickest chicane (That's on the International circuit) but it can still be taken fairly quickly!

LOL, that's ace fun, only trouble is that lots of people don't and it's a bit tight to pass them when they get on the brakes before it.

Just to bring it back on er track as it were, my wife who is now a bit quick


First trackday she did was at cadwell, a month after passing her test, on a bike she'd never ridden before (my SV).

We then did mallory with hottrax, worst organised trackday ever, put us off using hottax for quite some while, she said if that had been her first trackday she would never have done one again. It was frankly a crashfest with zero discipline, the briefing summed it up really "Some of you will crash here, some will crash here"....

She thinks its a good idea to go for a novice friendly trackday for a first one but wouldn't say it had to be ladies only.

She would consider a ladies only trackday but for two reasons
1) This is what happened last time

2) She's pregnant

Although we've been on many a mixed trackday and normally the only problem is that boys don't like to be beaten by a girl on a 400!
