Why do they persist on using the long track?!

I'm aiming to get there. Shame it's the long track though.

It's literally the only PP on the long track all year. I've already asked if, seeing there's ASBK two weeks later, they'd consider using the Practice day for, you know, actual practice on the track we are racing on. I will let you know if/when I get a response. It might be worth bombarding them with requests via email and perhaps phone.

Hmm, might be worth bombarding them for sure. I'll probably be there either way. Sorting finances tomorrow.

I will call them several times, I can put on a few different voices/personas. Hopefully they don't have a phone that displays the number that is calling.

For the record I did say "I don't mine the full circuit". I'd defiantly prefer GP on the new bike though. But hey either way [emoji6]

Considering your size, you might do better by threatening..... ;)

I asked too, and Krista said it was because there's a car meet a week later on the extended circuit, so they are practicing for that. I asked if we could just straight-line the T6 to T8 section (dodging the witches hats) but didn't get a reply.

Hahaha wouldn't have thought it would be hard for the flaggy to just move the witches hats for our session then move them back. It wouldn't require another flag point.

I'd happily throw a few extra pennies their way to get the GP circuit.

Not that we really should have to. It's not a hugely complicated thing.

You know there's a keen buyer interested in your bike, right? I assume you're not responding so you can tell the wife that you're really really trying to sell it, sweetums, but there's nobody interested in it.

6 is fine :)

It's a rush to get the preferred 49-50 (or failing that, the 47-48) garages. Then hurry up and wait, while the first bike session slowly comes around.

Can you please save me a spot? I'm on kid school dropoff in the morning, and won't get there until a bit after 9am. Thanks! :D

somewhat true...

painkillers are no help I physically can't change gears down (up) as I can't get enough pressure on the lever bringing it back towards my knee.
heavy duty clutch in my daily driver hasn't helped the injury

Feel sorry for ya man. My dad had to change to an auto recently because of a similar reason.

On the other hand because motorcycle racing wasn't already expensive enough :D

Credit to ARDC... they listened to us asking for it, and they went out of their way to accommodate us. They moved the witches hats for each bike session; the cars still did the extended circuit. Bloody good of ARDC :thumb: :cheer:

And what a day!!! With help from Rob at Well Sprung, we made a key key key change to finally sort my '15 RSV4. So I rode my Aprilia, Luke's R1M (what a weapon!) and Carlos's 10R (which was a it ordinary, if I'm honest).

The R1M was unreal!! The electronics were great, the power was great (especially the drive out of turns, unlike most other inline fours), the brakes were good, and it handles really nicely. It needs a bit of finessing to get the setup right, but it was pretty darn close straight out of the box.

And my Aprilia was unreal too!! Loved it in the last session, after making the geometry change it desperately needed (my advice to everyone is to get Rob to do a proper setup for you!). So much so I wanna go ride it again on Sunday!

First practice day i have done. Was great how we weren't treated like naughty school kids as per the norm on trackdays. The sessions were long! And hopefully they have now seen the light and are happy to put biies on GP even if the event is full circuit.

Hi Krista,

What an awesome day yesterday!! Would you please be so kind as to pass on the collective thanks of all the bike riders for allowing us to run on the GP circuit. We know there was some extra work for the flaggies etc moving witches hats around, and we all really really really really appreciated it!! It was fantastic that you all went out of your way to accommodate us bikes, and we are very grateful. We really feel loved by ARDC these days :)

I hope you have a great weekend!
