funbobby Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Going over the mountain was a good place to change up a gear in our Blade. In the Rally Car though it will be flat for as mush air as possible :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 see you tomorrow scuba thanks Mike for the link - will have a look tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegory Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cleggy, Scuba Hopefully the car will be in action tomorrow so my dad and I will see you there. Ours is the narrow bodied, blue with swept wings and probably only one stone guard protector as they are proving a pig to fit well. Went to watch bikers there last year and the track looks awesome so we're also about to read the circuit tips on the earlier link as we're both newbies.

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 any idea what sorta lap time would be good for a novice in a 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Anything under 1.45 would be pretty good going for a 1st timer I reckon. My 2 penneth, going round to the gooseneck, stay in the middle and then gradually bring it in to the apex. Stay away from the 1st kerb at hall bends! My lines are here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcoopers Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My advice is keep your cloths on, and as you are in the bad lands take a crucifix with you. Don't talk to strangers with 6 fingers or webbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richgm Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I shall be careful over the mountain - no getting wheels off the ground for me You will. Once you realise just how must speed you can carry through the second part of the esses at the bottom you'll be flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
][\/][ajor1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Last time I was there it was a Ducati track day and I was on my 996 Duke. Fancied a go on a nice new 1098 deomonstrator so signed the waiver form. A few laps later I was eating dirt at Coppice bouncing along at about 120mph. Shortly afterwards I was eating food in Grimsby Hospital then Hull Royal Infirmary then Castle Hill Hospital then back to HRI then back the Castle Hill and on and on and on..... Broken collarbone, bone sticking out of baby finger ohhh the pain! One day I will be back there as it's a brilliant track and the marshalls were fantastic. Only next time it will be on 4 wheels in the Westie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
