Anyone Doing A Track This Year?

[dandoolittle]

Looking like I'm doing snetterton on Monday if anyone from here is going?

 

[BurntRuber]

The streets are my track. There is a go cart track a hour or 2 from my house that lets groms and supermotos on I wanted to check it out.

 

[SighBored]

I don't have enough money to buy land and make a track. I assume that was your question.
Maybe next year I will have enough money to make a track.

 

[Reize]

Hmmm...I'm changing my FZ16 for a DRZ400SM soon. Might ask my friends to join me for a track day sometime in the middle of this year ah hah.

 

[dandoolittle]

I'll be going to Brands probably next month but haven't booked a date yet.

I might be doing Brands but I'm not a massive fan of the indy to be honest. I might though as a couple of mates are going so might as well

Is that with No Limits?

 

[dandoolittle]

No limits you get free time with an instructor, tea/coffee etc - Really laid back and run really really well! Kind of bike event, run by bikers

MSV is well run but you can tell its a commercial, cash cow for them and run as such but they are good!


Evening track days are very hit and miss to be honest. I wont do them as I find people are knackered, rushed and poorly prepared!

If its your first time. I'd say save up and do a day that you can take your time and learn the bike etc, then do an evening

 

[dandoolittle]

Oh - I'm not saying evening ones are bad. Just the odd ones that I've done, I didn't really enjoy so prefer the all day events.

I am going to Almeria in the last week of October - will be sure to provide some good videos, maybe even some live streaming via Periscope! I extended my data volume roaming for that prupose

soz for the necro posting.
Am hoping to do a few trackdays this year on the bike and hopefully in the car too. Brands is my closest circuit and now I no longer have a van is where I tend to head although have been on a few over the years at various circuits.

I like the Indy circuit at Brands as it is good for comparing bikes by timing the lap times. I much prefer the GP circuit though.

Gotta agree with how well No Limits trackdays are run, they are my preferred TDO although MSV run a tight ship too. I tend to avoid Focussed Events but when needs must and their chrono days (if they still run them) are quite useful.

@dandoolittle has told me I have to come on a track day with him.

Not tracking the Street, looks like it'll be his Gixxer!

 

[Hippo-Drones]

the Street3 would be a beast on track dude!

 

[Lurch]

It's new, and I don't want to hurt it!

 

[lupin]

I'm hoping to hit the straight track later this year with a bit of luck.

I broke my back and pelvis at Cadwell on my first ever trackday!

 

[Lurch]

If you search Dan's posts you'll find he wasn't unscathed either!

 

[Hippo-Drones]

Will do bud, normally I go inters but the Guzzi isn't that fast so may be in novice too.

 

[BlakShadow]

I did a non-sportbike track day last year (check my channel for a video all about it) on my Honda PC800. I plan to take my Shadow to one this year, because why the hell not?

 

[dandoolittle]

I broke my back and pelvis at Cadwell on my first ever trackday!

Blown up brain. Ribs. Collar bone. Fracture in back. Collapsed lungs Two weeks in hospital. A year proper recovery

Been back twice. Best track ever
