Netmeister Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Had a play around with Windows Movie Maker yesterday and decided to chop up the footage from my trackday back in July 09. The footage was taken throughtout the day on two different cameras so none of the laps are in sequence, so you may notice bikes will suddenly disappear between clips However the earlier clips are from early on in the day, and the later from later in the day so there is some order.Enjoy"> Edited February 22, 2010 by Netmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris128 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Nice can see you getting more into it as the day went on, going for the better lines around the corners and overtaking a few people seems like quite a good idea having the people who are very new to the track wearing a high vis jacket as well, I wish they had done that at the track days I've been to as it would help you identify which people are likely to suddenly take a really weird line around a corner at the last minute and almost fly into you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 What I liked most about the bib was that by the last couple of sessions no one was overtaking me, so it felt good to overtake everyone else with a newbie bib on To be honest though, me trying to beat everyone is probably what threw me off, tried to go too quick too soon. Ah well...you live and learn.Watching that back all day while I was editing really reminded me how much of a wicked time I had, and I'm really considering hiring a bike to do another before I get my new bike. It's a lot of money with a hire bike though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 When you say "threw me off" do you mean you had a crash or do you just mean you werent feeling it towards the end of the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philgale Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Plan to do 4 or so this year with the idea of getting a trackbike next winter once I clear a space in the garage only 4? good luck with that bet you cant stop once you get out again. its my second of the year on friday and 2 more the following month then 2 more the month after....you wont be able to stick to 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Did the same with my R1 at Rockingham, boy do you feel a dick!! Still live and learn, good luck with your next one. Cheers Keith, wasn't a pleasurable experience! Didn't put me off one bit though! Can't wait for the next one only 4? good luck with that bet you cant stop once you get out again. its my second of the year on friday and 2 more the following month then 2 more the month after....you wont be able to stick to 4 But you earn loadsa dosh, I don't Plus you northern folk get the cheapear rates with Cadwell, Mallory and Oulton. Brands is flippin expensive I think this year will just be a few as it will be a road bike, once I get a trackbike though I think the ball will really start rolling.

Guest philgale Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 dont knock it, id love to do brands....anyway cadwell is a good 3.5 hours away. and oulton aint cheap 165 in may...now anglesey, thats a cheap on and one of my fav tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Very true, it is a great track. Think I'm gonna try the GP circuit in the summer, thats around £200+ though Didn't realise Oulton was so expensive. I suppose being MSV they're all going to be.
