12th June Brands GP Track Day

Mmmmmm. Have been doing some reading. I believe the explanation for why the 12th is cheaper than some other trackdays on the GP circuit is because it is a four group day (2 x intermediate) rather than 3 group which is what the £220 days are. So we save a few bob but get proportionally less track time.

Then I came across my next problem, the noise limit for the GP circuit is 101dba, rather than the Indy circuit's 105dba (daytime) and 102dba (evening). So with a last test reading of 102dba do I.....

a) Re-pack the silencer before I go (bearing in mind if you pack it slightly too tight you can add 2dba rather than lose it).
b) Wait until the day, than repack it if it fails noise test (bearing in mind it will take an hour to drill the rivets, re-pack, re-rivet, re-test etc.)
c) Bend the needle on the tacho?

Decisions, decisions......

 

Option C !

 

yes...when they say hold it at 7000 rpm.....hold at 6800...

 

As I'm having to ride up I wont be able to pack much in my backpack. I was thinking about bringing my laptop for instant video playback and photo viewing.
@ Ducky, if you happen to come across an old knackered carbon Triumph race can lying around in your garage if you throw it in the van, I'll take it off your hands

 

i can drop by ur way and pick some stuff up if you want kevin

 

Buy a slip in baffle - £10 or whatever they are and tap it in for the noise check, they 'always' fall out anyway

 

Just seen the local weather forecast, and, fingers crossed they weren't far wrong.

 

Looks good to me

 

I always like Jims weather forecasts,

 

Paul will you be putting the Sp1 on the track at all? If so I can fit my diy video camera onboard it for you.

 

Taking both, and using the SP1 for at least the 1st two sessions and see how I feel after that, if its dry proberly use the CBR after, it would be nice to have a camara fitted

 

So do I but as this is flaming June I'm thinking I may well be wearing my waterproofs.

 

Rather sad exhaust wadding....



Replaced, and wrapped up safe as a bug in a rug ready for Tuesday

 

Providing I get a good start tomorrow I should be down to watch with disdain and amusement... I mean heartfelt enthusiasm and cheering.
I'll bring my helmet cam and some duct tape for anyone who wants to film it. Plus a note pad to know who is who after, it'll hold 12hours+ in full HD so should be okay.

Might even try to sneak on the track

 

just changed brake fluid, got new tyres on, roll on tuesday and 27 degrees as jim forecast

 

New wet tires? lol , my tires are shot away , being a cheapskate, gona spend tomorrow getting bike ready and on trailer
