Drop them to 36 cold for first session.

That seems a bit high to me.

I did a track day at Bedford and I have decided flat Ex airfield tracks are to be avoided no matter how good the tarmac is..get yourself to Cadwell or Oulton Park where you have some gradient to play with, they are miles more interesting to ride around:O)

Thanks Baz. Just to qualify so im sure - do i drop the tyres to 36 psi when i first unload the bike with tyres COLD?
And then adjust them to 32/29 when i come back in from a session with tyres HOT?

Just want to make sure!

Did a very cold Cadwell last month and even if you were held up for a short time behind a slower rider you could almost feel the tyres going cold! I was advised 32 30 for that particular day. The bm is bloody quick for Cadwell that's for sure! Last time out on a K6 thou and this time I had to recalibrate for tipping in to Coppice as the bm is going so flipping quick at the end of the start finish straight!

Ive only ever done Bedford in my Megane R26.R track car - enjoyed it - easy to learn and go fast quickly - but bored me senseless within 30 mins. I would never consider it on my bike.

That last sentence really got my juices flowing - love it!!

Both. Maybe we could get a group discount if we book with Easytrack.

Count me in fella - i love Snett 300 - lets see if we can generate some interest.

I was assuming it's still b. cold and first session is always a waste of time anyway-still a reasonable starting place though.

 

[Lumpy]

sounds like a plan - i am in.

 

[Nick]

My preference is geographically motivated: Silverstone / Mallory / Donnington.

I would be up for Brands Hatch.
GP circuit though, the indy is just too short.

 

[Hopper]

Indy circuit is fantastic. When you get it right, it's brilliant

Unfortunarely with gp you dont get many laps per session especially with 4 groups, could do with less sessions and more time....

I see the voting closed 29th April, but I just sneaked one in for Snett - never had the pleasure......

Ok - hold the smart comments about always last!

 

[bananaman]

Is there a date being thrown around for this? Must be good for a group booking discount as well ?

It was 29th April 2013 It never came to be though Hampy mainly due to the rubbish weather etc. We have decided just book what ever you fancy and we will try to tag along. I'm up at Snett on the 21st May and after June 17th I will try to get a many in as possible. Baz lives there by the way so you will always see a friendly face. Bumped into Ptrax and Farebro up there on the 6th so you never know.
