First Track Day ever

Post by AHTHUD » Tue Sep 15, 2009 6:09 pm

Did My first ever track day a few weeks back hence the lovely fluro bib). It was an evening session at Brands hatch. The photos below are from my second session. As you can see I'm not a stick my knee out merchant To old for all those shenanigans. On the next session, after some "advise" by a mate, I sarted sticking my knee out and scared the bejesus out of myself on paddock when my slider hit down (think I keep it nice and tight from now on).

Well done mate,you're looking good there.

I see you went with Focused Events,which was the organiser for my Snetterton session last bank holiday.
Found them to be very well organised and will be doing more days with them,some of which will be at Brands also.

May see ya'. :D

Im planning on doing a track day at Snetterton on 14th Oct. Its a novice only day where they mark out entry points and apexes with cones. How did you find the TRX there? Its a quick old circuit isn't it?
