Re: Donington 15th July
Hoping its going well.
I did a chrono day at Oulton in inters and I found it worked well as moved the fast lads up and the slower people down which genuinely did improve the day. Plus bonus is at the end you get all your lap times which is interesting reading. I wasn't quick but I was very consistent which surprised me tbh.
Look forward to a glowing end of day report and some photos of possible.

Re: Donington 15th July
I've stayed in inters but I'm now one of the slowest. One bloke binned his bike on the first corner of the first lap so that got red flagged

Re: Donington 15th July
Two blokes in fast group took each other out on the back straight. It's all good fun. I might cut the day short before I'm next. Already had one grass run at Redgate.

Re: Donington 15th July
Take it easy mate and if your tied or the hero juice is flowing full flow its always wise to walk away early whilst still winning. I speak from experience of the not so wise being carried away camp of loosers.
Have fun dude

Re: Donington 15th July
Save it for the track. 
I called it a day. Too many close calls including a van almost T boning me in the paddock. It's better to leave early and ride home under your own steam.
I'lll do a report later.
Coming home early does mean I get to see my daughter's production, which now makes me the best dad in the world.

Re: Donington 15th July
I didn't ask for my times. I was ok in the morning bt my head wasn't with it in the afternoon. Calling lunch at about 11.20 didn't help.
But after lunch when they had looked at the times and decided who to move I stayed in the inters.

Re: Donington 15th July
Glad you both had a good day and no war wounds (apart from Perkles wallet maybe?)

OK for them but not you ? I thought filtering was legal on a bike ?

Re: Donington 15th July
I suspect if they've got the sirens and lights blazing they weren't doing road legal speeds. Plus the police can get very pissed off if you follow them too closely

Re: Donington 15th July
Followed a police car on the way home his blues flashing but thought it was best to keep a bit of distance don't think he would have been impressed if I passed him but he did hold me up advanced driving my ass :-p
