Had my first Trackday on Sunday..!

[John]

Hey Guys,

Had my first trackday on the Sunday just gone Went out with one the other members on here (DonovanDon100) and another mate, also met up with Dean(not on his Busa).
What a blast , the Busa is certainly a handful on the track.
Spent the day rolling around in 2/3 practicing throttle control up into 4/5 down the straight, turn 1 is terrifying for first timers.
Got my knee down for the first time on turn 7 scared the sh!t out of me pretty much ground the peg feelers off.
Seen Bruce's 1441 out there, lovely machine.

Looking at geting back out there on the 24/07/10.

Good on you John! Hey thats a great pic

[Heidi1]

Fantastic! Glad you had a great time. I find the entry on turn 2 scarier on the busa than turn 1. When are you going back?

[pan]

Good on ya BJ!
Excellent position on the bike for a first-timer!

Hope to catch up with you out there in the coming months...

Glad to hear you had a good time. Be careful though, they are extremely addictive.

Did you come over to say hello John?? I have few brain cells left for memory.

Sunday was a comedy of errors mechanical failures and crashes for our pit so was a bit preoccupied

[John]

Bruce,

When I walked past your shed there were about 10 people in there, it was after the meeting for the bloke that HS on pit exit and i'm not sure what you look like.

Will pop in next time if it's not too hectic. I will be out there on the 24th July.

[Heidi1]

I'm thinking about 24 July, want to share a pit? I'll have the mighty RGV with me, but I promise I'll start her outside the garage.

[bigjay]

highside on pit exit??????????? Thats different

[John]

Yeah,

Apparently he gave it a fist full in first (on cold tyres on a cold track), clicked up to second and on came the rodeo, spilt oil and coolant all over the track at turn 1. Either a 600 or 750 Gixa.

That takes effort.

QR is boring that way. It's either someone running too hot into turn 1 and chickening out into the kitty litter, someone screwing up the left hander into turn 4 and not realising it's more than 90 degrees, or some hothead thinking that turn 6 is where they're finally going to catch that 125 on their GSX1400.

My favourite shot from the day.

Unfortunately finances haven't allowed me to book in for the 24/07.

Hope to see you guys out there when i can book

Hey BJ, I'll be out there watching on the 24th of July (late morning).... and probably a few others coming just to watch as well. See if you can come along too.
