    Yeh red flag means someones gone down in the track back to the pits happened almost every session

    They actually stopped running sessions for a bit because the medical center was full and they couldn't have any more crashes :confused:

    Thanks, just wondered if it's the novices or the faster groups that come off a lot. Were conditions bad or is that normal?
    Sounds like a potentially costly day out to me.

    To be honest people were being red flagged in Novice, Intermediates and Fast. It was dry and sunny but cold. I think that might have given a false sense of security & people a bit rusty after the winter layoff = lots of falling off

    I was there on an orange aprilia mille.

    If anyone saw the ZX6 come off on pit straight and burst into flames that was my mates first go at amateur pyrotechnics

    Wasn't that impressive the next session delayed and having powder down fir the rest of the day including the first turn . :( What happened to his bike ? Apparently it sounded like it revved till blew

    He said the throttle stuck... which is fair enough.... but why he didn't hit the kill switch I don't know.. and the bike actually going down was his doing for grabbing the brake.

  20. I'll most prob be doing it on my supermoto, so more than welcome to pitch up with me. Come over and say hi anyway as the likelihood is I will be the only supermoto out there so easy to find. If its your first trackday, then I can tell you it wont be your last. Get it booked..!!!
