wiggleit Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Had a great day, good to meet some 'faces' at last.Arrived during a Fast session and have to admit thought 'sh*t...no way I could do this!!! 'But have to say the Novice seemed kinda do-able........ Phil did really well and I'm sorry to say Phil but my future as Track Photographer looks unlikely....lots of blurs n some ok ones of complete strangers More determined to have a go at this now than ever!!!

chris128 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 no idea where im looking http://trackdaydigitalimages.com/200210ibw/mediafiles/l2.jpghaha love it, what were you telling me about never looking anywhere other than forward? Anyway, watched the vids and god you made it look easy lol it looked like you were out in the novice group the way you were flying past everyone with ease... Quote
Guest philgale Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 i dont remember looking behind other than the last session when i went round with chicky of tdr. but iv got the camera on so its not then. im thinking it was the first session during sight laps and i was just giving the marshall a good look felt like i was out in novice most of the time, deff after friday im moving up to advanced group....well after the cadwell days anyway. Quote
chris128 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 lol yeah you look like you could hold your own in the fast group. I just watched some of your vids of cadwell and I'm amazed how much faster you were on the one you did on 26/10/09 compared to 06/10/09 (the dates might not be entirely correct but you'll know which ones I mean). Did you get your track bike in between those 2 track days or did you just do a few other track days in between or something? Quote

Did you get your track bike in between those 2 track days or did you just do a few other track days in between or something? the first one was on my sv650 and the latter being on the gsxr600, its an fooking animal compared to the SV. makes a huge difference as im not struggling on the straights like the sv was...you will see first hand on the 13th when i lap you Quote
