Cutting folks up in the corner in the intermediate group just so you can get a lap time makes my blood boil.This shite gives the total wrong impression of what a trackday is all about. A trackday is about learning new levels with your bike in a safe environment. If you want to do stupid overtakes, lap timing etc etc then go stick some numbers on join a race club and then see how really slow you actually are :banghead) :banghead)

I will be at Cadwell tomorrow to debate this further


Actually that's exactly what I am going to do next year

Same weather at Cadwell... :bigcry:

A dozen bikes out after the sighting laps – standing water on the track and no sign of a let-up from the weather.

Then the novice group session was halted for a track inspection as someone in fast group had dropped oil
up and over the Mountain and into the esses at Woodlands.

Called it a day.

Hope Oulton is better tomorrow...
