So I just had a call from Krista at ARDC, who very kindly rings me whenever they don't have enough for a bike session. Apparently YRT aren't putting in forms, and even though Gloria from FX is texting everyone with an invite, they aren't putting in forms either.

Without 3 more forms, bikes won't be allocated a session. I'll put mine in now, and if you're planning to attend, can you please assist by submitting a form? Thanx! It makes sung-on much easier anyway, as you don't have to frig around with payment etc.

Always garage 49-50 on an ARDC day. That way they can check your wristbands etc before you helmet up and jump on the bike. And it's where the rider's briefing is. And you can chat to them about stuff during the cars sessions.

I reckon if you're in red group and not being an obstacle, you'll have no trouble on a ARDC day. Much like on track days, there are fast days and slow days anyway.

You should remember from your one day as MEGA staff, that they can't get into their garages until they are opened (usually 6:20 to 6:30) and it's the gate security that don't let the 'punters' in until 7.;):boink::fear::heh:

Got to have a ride on some Italian exotica, pin point handling, sounds tits also.

You're welcome. And thanks for the ride on the 10. I can FINALLY say I've ridden one. Quite an impressive bit of kit. Very easy to ride, lots of power, and it handled a lot better than I was expecting (although I came in with a longish list of settings changes to do). I can see why they are the Jap bike to be on. Good all-rounder, at a good price. Except the brakes, which were pretty ordinary, especially after the Aprilia.

The only rule is no carbon wheels (or forced induction).

Good question..... Partly because it was an afterthought, and partly because (from memory) the FOZ rules just say "no carbon wheels". The forced induction thing is elsewhere, but I just remembered after, and technically it's still a restriction.

Yeah, that sounds more like the right lingo.

But the kawi can't be forced AND normally/naturally aspirated. It's one or the other. Ram air is still considered naturally aspirated, because it doesn't use a mechanical compressor. It's still atmospheric, albeit moving at high speed and with whatever pressure it can build up while moving.

Or we could just protest every ZX10 out there for breaking the rules!! ;) :rofl:

Bit of footage from my end of the day. Forgot to record the last session of the day since we got rushed out with the session switch after the oil incident. Annoying since it was where I was finally starting to feel more comfortable and had Steve show me some of his lines, even if it damn near killed me doing those extra laps :pound:.
I seem to have lost something the last 3 track days. I was making really good improvements every time I went out and I seem to have taken a step back. I think Friday I took half a step forward again but I'm not back to where I was. I know its 99% mental, just gotta figure out how to break through it.
I'm thinking I'm tipping in and apexing to early in to old 9/15 which is affecting my drive out of it. Also I have to start getting in to 4th gear instead of just hitting the limiter in 3rd before T10/T16 :S

Agree mate. They bullshit fast... The acceleration on them was freakish..

Highlights vid is fantastic. I even made a few cameo appearances. How many cameras did you have on?
