Donington GP trackday yesterday
« on: June 30, 2007, 11:31:25 AM »

Pretty crap to be honest. I have looked forward to the day for months and i feel really let down by the day and i'm sure everyone else does to some extent. No one but the weathers fault really,which we can't change.
No limits didnt let anyone out on track until 12:30 as there was a river running down the old hairpin and round shwantz. The first session we went out was really wet and i tiptoed round for the whole session. The next session we had, was much better as there was a dry line for most of the track apart from the old hairpin and shwantz where the bike aquaplaned nicely under you
The 3rd and 4th sessions were totally dry after the sun had dried the track nicely. I didnt feel great out there still and only in the last session did i feel comfortable and then day over

The grouping was a fucking  joke to be honest and there were some really dodgy riders in fast group that were no where near fast pace and could of caused some serious accidents. They would be fast in some sections and then really slow in other whilst on the racing line and Donny aint a slow track so anyone behind would have to take avoiding action.

Bit pissed off with the day overall really.

Some of the guys that come with us had a few offs.

Horse popped up to say hello but went before it was dry.

Read about this on the MCNNinjas site and it sounded like it was'nt as good as last years event.

Hope all the riders are on the road to a speedy recovery Jon.
