Ooh, Dave, I'm jealous!!

Rock Nat is a brill TRX track: done it 3 or 4 times. Nice and smooth and no stupid long straights: all about corners.

The big swooping left hander leading to the the sharp righthander before the start finish straight is a great section and tricky to get right: treat it as one or two corners??

Good quality pits too ........ and all for just £49 ffs !!!




.....I'm tempted to come along on the supermoto....... :D

Hmm - might see if I can sneak into this

I'm in Wales for the Yamaha Off Road Experience on Saturday so it will depend on how big the bunch of flowers for Mrs phuk is!

.... and how much you are able to move on the Sunday, after after doing an off-road day on the Saturday, at your age! :D :D

May come along even if I dont go on track, just for a ride out if the weathers nice.

Maybe we could have an autumn TRX meet-up at Rockingham: you can get into the circuit and pits without having booked on the trackday iirc.
