Great thanks Steve, I will speak to my bro and see what he wants to do.

I will book for the 13th today then.

Let me know when you're booked.

TravisZack, what bike will you be riding?

Booked and paid for me and my bro.

My gsxr is far from fancy :lol: it's been written off twice and almost killed me with a collapsed front wheel bearing :eh:

My bro will be on his ZX636.

I am now just praying I can leave the wet wheels at home :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Weather forecast looking like it could go either way. About 40-50% chance of rain at some point.

I am going to stick my wet wheels on the bike before I set off I think just in case. I am desperately trying to source new brake discs and pads as I have a warped disc and it's really annoying on the front brakes.

Steve/Zack are you both still on for this? Ready to go?

My brother and I are stopping at Sarah's mums in Manley near Frodsham which is only about 20 mins away, we should be there for 7 to 7.30am. If you're arriving after that we'll be the pair with a black GSXR and silver ZX6 on a black trailer.

Yeah looking like the rain is gonna come and go throughout the day. I'm aiming to get there for just gone 7, hoping to grab some garage space for when the rain does come.

Also, I'm gonna need fuel at some point... there's a station close by but apparently it's available on site, do they have a pump or something?

I'll try and get there early this time. Was an hour late last time. I'm not a morning person!

If we could get some garage space, that'd be ace.Nothing to do to the bike. Sounds like sports touring tyres will be the best option anyway.

They have a pump there, I think you can use at lunch. A 19ltr tank was enough last time I did Oulton though.

I have an hours ride in so will fill up again at that end, we'll see how it goes.

I have nothing to do to the bike either. Fold mirrors back, unplug headlight, go.

Well that was an eventful day.

P1ssed it down first thing so the first few sessions were wet. I didn't bother putting the wets on as it kept looking like it was going to dry, a dry line was forming, then another shower would ruin it.

The session before lunch a proper dry line formed and I loved it. What a track.

After lunch the fast group went out and someone crashed into an instructor, at the same corner where someone died last year. About 2 hours, 2 air ambulances, 1 road ambulance and 2 smashed bikes later we managed to get another go. I am not sure what happened with the guys that crashed, 2 got air lifted to hospital, I am sure the no limits facebook page will update us. There was talk from people that had seen it of CPR at the scene and what not so not sure if it's a fatality again or not. Caferacerdan was there at the corner and managed to take some pics of the scene and the carnage. I am sure he will post them when he gets chance.

We got back on for 1 and a half more sessions, once with the inters and then again in our group. It was pretty awesome. Totally dry and warm, I managed to pretty much lap most people other than Steve who was very fast and I couldn't catch him :D

Sarah was there with her camera and took some half decent photos:

Stuffing some guy on an RR8 blade that was a load faster than us in the morning, but once we got some confidence it was the other way round :D

Sadly no on track pics of Travis....apparently Sarah just took pictures of any blue bike, she couldn't tell the difference between a blue R1, blue blade and Travis's Storm :oops:
