WELL I AM PROBERBLY BEING A LITTLE OVER THE TOP WITH PREPERATION BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGET THE SIMPLEST THINGS . AND IT'S GONA BE IN YOUR WELCOME LETTER FROM THE TRACK DAY PEOPLE ,
1- IF YOUR COMING BY BIKE FILL UP WITH PETROL JUST BEFORE YOU GET TO THE TRACK AS TRACK PRICES ARE HUGE AND ITS ONE LESS THING YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOAT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE , SOME TRACKS DONT HAVE PETROL ON SITE AND THOSE THAT DO DONT ALWAYS , YOUR TANK SHOULD SEE YOU TO LUNCH !
2- DRIVING LICENCE , NO LICENCE NO RIDE AND ITS A LONG WAY TO GO TO HAVE YOUR MATE'S
3- BOOTS ,LEATHERS, GLOVES ,HELMET AND IF YOU HAVE A DARK AND CLEAR VISOR BRING THEM IT'S NOT ALWAYS HGOOD TO HAVE A DARK VISOR IN THE RAIN AND I LIKE TO WEAR A T-SHIRT UNDER MY LEATHERS TO SOAK THE SWEAT AWAY AS YOU WILL BE WORKING
4- SNACKS AND WATER AND OR NON FIZZY DRINKS YOU WILL DEHIGHDRATE SO BANANA'S AND SUCH LIKE . IF YOU EAT LITTLE AND OFTEN INSTEAD OF ONE BIG MEAL AT LUNCH YOU SHOULD HAVE BETTER CONCENTRTION AFTER LUNCH AND NOT FEEL SO KNACKERD
5- MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE IS SAFE GIVE IT A ONCE OVER BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE OR A FEW DAYS BEFORE SO IF YOU FIND ANY PROBLEMS YOU CAN GET THEM SORTED. ABOUT THE ONLY THING AT THE TRACK WILL BE TYERS
6- BRING A TYER PRESURE GAUGE, THE PRESSURE YOU RUN ON THE ROAD IS TO HIGH FOR THE TRACK AND IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO GET THE RIT AMOUNT OF AIR FOR YOUR SAFTEY
7- BABY WIPES ARE VERY HANDY FOR CLEANING YOUR VISOR HANDS ETC
8- GAFFER TAPE FOR YOUR LIGHT'S SOME ONE WILL HAVE SOME AT THE TRACK BUT THE WAIT TO GET IT WILL DRIVE YOU MAD, AND WHEN YOU GET IT YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS RIDER'S BREIFING WILL START
9- DONT PANIC IF YOU MISS ANY THING THE MOST IMPOTANT THINGS FOR YOU TO DO ARE SIGN IN AND RIDER BRIF IF YOU DONT DO THESE TWO THINGS YOU WONT NEED TO DO THE OTHER STUFF .
10- FOR SIGNING IN YOU WILL NEED YOUR DRIVING LICENCE AND INDEMNITY FORM THEY WILL HAVE THESE AT THE TRACK IF YOU DIDN'T GET ONE WITH YOUR BOOKING (THE LICENCE YOU HAVE TO SUPPLY )BRING BOTH PARTS OF YOUR LICENCE IF ITS THE NEW TYPE BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
11- A PEN , SMALL BUT USE FULL WHEN SIGNING IN ONE SMALL TABEL A PILE OF INDEM FORMS 30 PEOPLE AND THREE PENS
12- MALLORY HAS A GREAT CAFE RUN BY SOME OLD TIME STAFF WHO GIVE YOU PROPER PORTIONS ,AND ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO WANT TO BE SO GIVE THE LADYS A WINK YOU MIGHT GET AN EXTRA SAUSAGE !
13 IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW OR ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SEE ONE OF THE ORGANISERS OR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THERE TIME TO BE THERE TO HELP WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS EVEN IF THEY SEEM SMALL AND STUPID IT MIGHT BE THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN A GOOD DAY AND A GREAT DAY
14 YOUR DAY SHOULD GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS
ARRIVE FIND A PLACE TO PIT AND RELAX WHEN YOUR NOT ON TRACK
FIND OUT WHERE SIGHNING IN IS (NORMALLY THE CAFE )
FIND OUT THE TIME OF BRIFING (AGAIN NORMALLY IN THE CAFE)
TAPE YOUR LIGHTS AND AJUST TYER PRESSUERS (THEN USE BABY WIPES)
DONT MISS BRIFFING !
YOU WILL BE TOLD AT BRIFFING WHICH GROUPE IS GOING OUT FIRST
WHEN YOUR GROUPS TIME TO GO OUT THERE WILL BE A FIVE MINUTE CALL WHEN YOU WILL GATHER IN PIT LANE AFTER YOUVE BEEN TO THE LAV
YOU MAY HAVE A CARD TO SAY YOU HAVE BEEN TO THE BRIFFING WHICH WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOU IN PIT LANE AND A STICKER FOR THE FRONT OF THE BIKE
YOU WILL TAKE TO THE TRACK BEHIND A MARSHALL WHO WILL DO A COUPLE OF OUT LAPS WHERE YOU WILL FOLLOW WITH NO OVER TAKING THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO AS FAST OR AS SLOW AS YOU LIKE .
IF YOU ARE GOING TO OVER TAKE DO IT ON THE STRAIGHTS ITS SAFER FOR YOU AND THE PEOPLE AROUND WHAT MIGHT SEEM SAFE TO YOU MIGHT SCARE THE SLOWER RIDER AND CAUSE THEM TO CRASH IF IT WAS YOU YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT (THERE IS ALWAYS SOME ONE FASTER THAN YOU WATCHING
IF YOU TOOK ANY NOTICE OF THE BRIFFING YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE FLAGS MEAN WHEN THE CHEAKERD FLAG COMES OUT ITS NOT THE LAST FLYING LAP IT THE IN LAP BUT DONT JUST HIT THE BRAKES LOOK BEHIND AND MAKE SURE ITS SAFE TO SLOW AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO YOUR PIT SPACE DRINK AND RELAX FOR ABOUT 40 MINS.
NOW THER MAY BE A FEW SPELLING MISTAKES BUT WHO GIVE'S A F**K
I HOPE THIS HELPS IF NOT YOU JUST WASTED A S**T LOAD OF TIME READIND IT
I have been buiding a ZXR400L for track days!!!.... That's what I call over the top!
Wicked info for a first track day....and more....especially cos it's my first one....after being on a bike 27 years!!! (Well I do get off it to sleep etc occasionally!!!)
Blimey westy.... you gonna be riding your WR450 at Mallory... haha
Well I just had some track practise today, not been out on the Gixer for a proper ride since last year. Thought I'd better get some practise in if I'm helping or I'll be riding it like the KTM with me leg out on the corners.
Rode up to Silverstone today early doors, blagged myself a place in Advanced/ACU group for a miserly £59.00 Woo Hoo, Na Na Ne Na Na Thankyou Hottrax...
Even managed to blag 20 litres of fuel off them..... now that is very cool day out... Haha
Back to reality now... taking the KTM to Pineham MX... Love bank holiday weekends.
