JeffC Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 did a trackday at knockers yesterday and this is the last thing i expected to see, could have been nasty a couple of seconds later! :o go to full screen and check out 1min 39 well impressed with footage from the new gopro hd2 with external mic strapped to the itbs! less impressed with michelin slicks car was awful in the corners just wouldnt turn in they must have gone off was spot on when i was on 888s earlier in the day Quote
SteveD Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 what was that jeff ,manx cat , panther , goat , rabbit , hard to tell on lap top Quote
Andrew Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It was a small deer, and I think I'm glad I didn't see it at the time! Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 on the wy back from Cadwell last Wednesday I had Paul and Tony in the car and we had to make a rather hurried stop to allow three dear to casually walk across the road they did not seem at all phased that would have made a mess of the car Jeff Quote
Lordbenny Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I went to 1:39 and watched it back abput 5 times, still couldnt see it! Quote

SteveD Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 **** jeff you wouldnt want that hitting your nose cone then burying itself in your face Quote
GreigM Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 thats what made the track slippy.....the trail of deer **** lucky - could have ended up like this: Quote
GreigM Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 less impressed with michelin slicks car was awful in the corners just wouldnt turn in they must have gone off was spot on when i was on 888s earlier in the day dunno, the track was "funny" - I never felt confident with my slicks all day (and I know they hadn't gone off) but I switched onto my CR500s for the final session, and while slower because of the wet they felt way better....lap times were S*** - best I did all day was about 62s, when I should be down sub 60 easily, hitting 58s on a good day...too much time watching my flipping temp gauge and not enough time watching the track!

thos Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 We were stopped for 45mins yesterday at the Phoenix Park, while they got a load of jeeps together and corralled these 3 deer out of the Park. They said they would usually shoot them, but they had a fawn ... Quote
westy turbo Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Using the michelins and they are great even in used form,may be they needed more camber on them?? Quote
JeffC Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe was track but Track was good on 888s but slicks never worked all day but were fine at croft last time , my lap times were poor as never got clear lap best on logger was 58.8 in second off last session I did bit can't recall clear Lap ?

Irrotational Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 JeffC - here is the video from the trackday I was on about - it was actually last year not earlier this year. Almost identical spot to yesterdays beastie... Quote
