Mallory park track day 08/11/14

[lloydie]

Thought I'd start a new thread for this one as it will save cluttering up the last one .

I'm now booked into inters and hope to see some of you guys there again

[AMCQ46]

I am watching the weather forecast, if it looks positive then i will book into inters by sunday or monday

[Gazfirestormowner]

I'm also watching the forecast but will be sticking with novice group but am gunna have my suspension all set up whilst I'm there

[Miztaziggy]

Watching this too.

If weather forecast looks good next week, I will book into inters.

[Steve6088]

I'll give inters a try if that's where you guys are all heading. I'll also try getting there this time as well


It being a small track, I guess it is quick to learn???

its pretty straight forward......... looooooong right [4th gear], straight [still 4th], left / right chicane [2nd gear], fast right/left esses [3rd gear], short straight [3rd], tight right hairpin [2nd], left/right chicane [still 2nd], fast left [short shift 3rd], straight bit [4th]............ and start again.

Simples

Isn't there a bit where you lowside and then have to pick your bike back up again?

[Kev L]

Oooooooooooh, handbags at the ready!!!!

That was just something to fill the time waiting for the others to come round........ it wasn't very effective as it didn't kill enough time, so I didn't bother doing it again

but if you want to try it, the instructions would be
looooooong right [4th gear], straight [still 4th], left / right chicane [2nd gear], fast right/left esses [3rd gear], short straight [3rd], tight right hairpin [2nd] [tuck the front end here, lay the bike down and stick your leg in the air, pick the bike up, look round to see if anybody saw you, jump back on and kid on nothing happened], left/right chicane [still 2nd], fast left [short shift 3rd], straight bit [4th]............ and start again.

[AMCQ46]

Oooooooooooh, handbags at the ready!!!!

and you can keep out of this you old fart mind you, your zimmer frame might have been handy to stop the bike falling over in the 1st place

Steve I am not sure my bro is coming to this one, I think he's working Friday night.

If that's the case, we could meet up perhaps at the M62/M1 junction, load your bike on trailer then go down there in the car?

[Steve6088]

Sounds like a plan Chris. Would be much appreciated!

[AMCQ46]

Saturday 8th ins now in the window for the 10 day forecast............ currently showing

Sat 8. Nov
AM Showers 11° High 6° Overnight Low Chance of Rain30% WindSW at 11 mph

but its still too far out to be that accurate, will need to wait till it is in the window for the met office 5day forecast

[AMCQ46]

Weather looking even better now Will rain Friday day time then dry out to a sunny but cold (11c) Saturday

Think I am going to book now

[Ckennedy]

Be good to see you there again Al show us what to do a bit more if we can keep up. Oh and no low sides this time
