chris128 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 If my two track days this weekend at Cadwell are good then I'll probably book this next week (assuming I can get the day off work anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleedubber Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Novice at the moment but I've booked myself in intermediates for the one I'm doing on 13th March so will see how that goes! You? I'm in the inters, if you feel people are getting in your way too much in novice then move up, but dont feel its a bad thing to be in novice, its really all about where you feel comfortableYou'll find most people are in the correct group, however you always get a few of the following at track days1. In the novice group.......... purely so they can look a hero as they're the fastest on the track...and should be at least in inters2. In advanced/fast group.....purely because it makes them think they're fast and because the sticker on the bike and they're wrist band says so My only goal/aim/target is to have fun.........and I always achieve that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 1. In the novice group.......... purely so they can look a hero as they're the fastest on the track...and should be at least in inters 2. In advanced/fast group.....purely because it makes them think they're fast and because the sticker on the bike and they're wrist band says so My only goal/aim/target is to have fun.........and I always achieve that 3. people in novice when they should be in advanced because novice was the only space left.4. people in inters but should be in fast for the same reason as 1.5. people in inters because they dont want to be "the novice" anymore even though they clearly should be.agree with number 2, you see them all the time.

chris128 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 6. People in novice that shouldnt really even be on a track! I know that sounds harsh but there was a guy on my last track day going round at literally like 30 mph and was all over the track... it was just dangerous for everyone else trying to go round him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
