Tuesday 24th June - Road bike only Trackday (Oulton)

Me poor baldy head is gonna go bright red! Lol

Can't wait to give the tractor a bit of a work out...

 

Anybody riding down to watch? Might have a bit of a skive if the weather's nice...

 

I'll wave every lap

 

May see u down there guys.... Wont be going on cant risk injury with race weekend in 2 weeks but i can always watch!

 

I have the very same problem, just reminded me to put hat in bag ! See you down there tomorrow and I take it we shall congregate in garages 10-11 with Fronkey ? Is sandiway garage the on the crossroads a few mile before the track ? and is it the nearest ? ch

 

Yep that's the one.

 

Garage number nine if you're coming down

 

Have fun

 

Gutted!!!! I completely forgot all about this :-( only just realised now when i seen Fronkeys status on BookFace

 

Good day that... I could just about keep up with Fronkey..... While he was on his out laps warming up!!

Managed to scalp a few spots bikes today, but only because they were in the wrong group... The GS did a great job of being really wide and holding people up though...

 

I will 2nd that, good day, good weather until I left the circuit ! Drenched, then 20mph over Thelwall , minor bump with every numpty having a look !!!!!!!! Enjoyed being slow and taking in the scenery , some fast lads out there in the novice class. CJ and Fronkey both looked fast and smooth with the fast group, BMW fest. Josh is coming along nicely, no grass mown and getting faster and smoother, the ellesmere port marquez is improving rapidly ! Cheers all for the banter and support, till next time ! steve.

 

Was an really good day live the road bike only thing. Mrs fronkey as pictures of everyone. Just! I think she fancies the other bloke on the R1 as shes got loads of pictures of him!

 

Here's a vid from the day

 

great little video that c-j i was there this weds , its a fecking great track even if the day did turn out to be a disaster

 

What happened on Wednesday mate?

 

It was a fucking nightmare mate,my mates bike failed the noise test , we missed the first session packing the baffle with wadding only for it to fail again , he ended up going back to Liverpool for another baffle
while he was sorting that I got my first session in, no limits seem big on everyone doing 3 sighting laps with a instructor so I had to do them at a painfully slow pace as soon as the instructor pulled off track giving me permission to give it some beans some Italian piece of junk spat it's entire sums contents on track red flagging the rest of that session
So I got one full session in after that wich was me getting used to the track layout again then lunch
first session after lunch was going great , I only got passed by a few of the tyre warmer gang on the first lap then made good progress picking people off until the last lap when my mate binned his bike in a low side red flagging that session
He was fine his bike wasn't , it needed to be stored there overnight and we had to run around borrow tools to take the pillion pegs off his bike to put them on mine so I could give him a lift home , so I only done 2 1/2 sessions in on the whole day
was a much worse day for my mate though !

 

That's crap mate it's a lot of money just for a couple of sessions it can be like that there every session interrupted by something I know how you feel though I went Anglesey Friday with roddo it hammered it all day so we went home as we didn't have any wets complete waste of time and money wasn't happy

 

Tbh I felt sorry for my mate more than my lack of track time , it's really put him off track days which is a massive bummer as well as the cost of sorting his bike out, I did have a eye on the weather at Anglesey knowing you was there , hope for better weather next ay!
