Six30 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Nice one just had a look at your Facebook link, good luck with your racing don't you ride on the road at all now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks, no i passed my test mid march, went on a trackday in the july.Went out with a few mates after the td, got fustrated at the lack of speed turned around and never been out on the road again.Probably for the best because i rode like a dick with no respect for anyone else, now im older,wiser and actually fast i can see it was a recipe for disaster.

geofferz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Intrigued as to why you might have a 'need' to do one - should I should learn too just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Intrigued as to why you might have a 'need' to do one - should I should learn too just in case?I was drag racing, my tyres need warmers to get upto their operating temperature and i couldn't use them, it was also damp and they dont grip in the damp.1st launch on cold tyres and damp track was sketchy the backend was sliding all over.If i did a burnout i could get heat into the rubber enough to grip and launch me down the track.1st time ive done one, loads of people watching i was sure it was going to go wrong.If you follow my link to my race page there is a mini report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockercas Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Bet you could just smell the pound notes burning away. Its free in a way. These tyres would normally go in the bin.On track the sides wear away and the middle is untouched.Il save my tyres now and use them for drag racing.I think it cost £15 to get in then £30 to race so its cheap fun.
