And so, it was the night before the trackday................
« on: June 10, 2007, 05:34:34 PM »
and I`ve checked the bike over, topped the oil up, checked all other levels. Cleaned and washed it.

So, apart from the documentation I have to take, any other recommendations of what might be needed when I get there.

All advise welcomed :icon_thumright:

Take mirrors off, tape up the glass works,  and cover the  speedo, It's a big distraction.

Let tyres warm up (especially if no tyre warmers) before you push it. Two laps is enough on the shorter tracks. Do not worry about what is behind you,so do not slow up/change line etc for them......It is up to them to get past you safely,just concentrate on what you do,not others.... Do not slow up/stop if someone crashes and you see it,as others will not and could run into you.Carry on as normal,the marshalls will sort it and red flags will inform you if not..... Listen to the briefing before you go out on track but above all else...relax and enjoy it....it is not racing after all.Take it all at your own pace. You will have a great day.  thumbu
 Snetterton is a great track.

Hes on a 6R though.

If you take a tyre gauge with you, set pressures to 30/30 cold and then check them as soon as you get back to pit lane whilst still hot. You should be aiming for 35/35 at working temp :icon_thumright:

What did you run yours at G :dontknow: ;-)
