Anyone done Marulan?

[Tito]

Hi guys.

I'm doing a overnight trip this weekend down south, and doing a track day at Marulan, NSW. Has anyone done a track day there before, and if so, what can I expect? or
I assume from the stats and map of the track, it's short and tight.
Thanks in advance.

Well it sounds like we're going to be doing it together, I'm there too. Are you one of the Newcastle mob that Garry was telling me about? I haven't ridden Marulan, but Blackzook has and Loafie likes to crash there A LOT. It is short and tight, I'll be running the RGV, what will you be on?

I'll be easy to find, I'm tall with crazy hair and we'll have three RGVs with us.

Sweet. I'm with a Central Coast crew. I'll be on a ZX6R, which is green strangely enough. I'm tall also, with tatts. Looking forward to meeting you.

Garry (the owner) is very excited you mob are driving down. I rang today, there is only 17 people booked in. I'm hoping that will translate to more track time! Looking forward to meeting you too. Where are you guys staying?

[Tito]

More track time sounds good to me. We are staying here. http://www.alismotel.yodel.com.au/

COOL! See you at the track. I'm going out to play with the RGV now. It is close to zero degrees out there, so I'll be wearing my super uggies. Just a word of warning, it is getting damn cold here at the moment. It will only be a fraction over freezing when you get to the track, and it will get cold again at about 3pm. Bring lots of layers!

Marulan is a great but tight track, youll find that you prob wont get out of 3rd gear .
Turn 7 is notorious for catching people out its the last left hander , its huge fun just take your time learning it

[Heidi1]

Was that the one you kept trying out the off-road capabilities of the KTM?

No it was Turn 9 HEIDI and you told me to do something dumb ( mission accomplished) thank god Bruce is such a good bloke as it was his bike that i fell off TWICE.

[Heidi1]

If I told you to jump off a cliff......

Yeah you probably would. Lucky you are so damn good looking!

[BLACKZOOK]

Tito you will love the track I hope your fitter than I am there is nowhere to rest at Marulan. I was absolutely stuffed by the 4th session but had an awesome day. Dont worry about Loafie he is the only one who falls off there and then only on my bike! Thank goodness KTM's are tough!

Let us know how you go

[Heidi1]

There will be PHOTOS! Did you think there wouldn't! Two members of the busa club and three of the RGV Fanciers Association. It is going to be a BIG DAY!

Home safely, and completely knackered. What an adventure. Hotel was absolute sh#t. Weather was great. Only got a couple a light spits all day. It was quite cold though, and rather hard to get any heat into the tyres. The track was awesome. Very tight, and very twisty, but the hotmix was smooth and consistent. Was easy to concentrate on my lines, as I could do the whole lap in 2nd gear, and would only get up to about 120 odd on the short straight. It is run very casually mind. No gear or bike checks, and only two flag points. Lots of short 10 min sessions, which works well, as its very physical. Don't know if I could do it in over 30 degrees.
Awesome time, will be going back for sure.
