I thought I would make this thread now and update it after I go on the track day!
(If this is in the wrong section of the forum Felix sorry!) :whistling:
I am going on a track day at a local circuit (literally a mile from my house), the day consists of 7 x 20 minute sessions on track and is only as small circuit.
I have a goal of 1 minute 10sec lap times by the end of the day!
Got a load of friends coming down to watch/race themselves and have a good time, taking a video camera, stop watch and SLR so hopefully some good pics!
Heres the track:

Very kindly a friend has lent me his track/old race bike so I don't have to take the GSX-R on track and risk wrecking it!
The bike is only worth about £500 but from what ive heard can still go around Mallory in sub-minute laps with the right rider!
As you can see from the photos its a bit beat up...
It was origonally based on a 1993 honda F2 600 CBR. Various upgrades/crashes later and its what it is today, still with an awesome sounding LeoVince system (even if it is battered).
Couple of things im worried about on the bike: IT HAS NO SLIPPER CLUTCH
which I am used to on my other bike!
Also it doesn't have a speedo, only a rev counter and temp gauge, so I wont know what speed im entering corners at....
Should be great apart from that
