Me-
Silverstone
Rockingham
Bedford autodrome
Intermediate group.
All Firebike peeps go in one dedicated group, whatever their experience on track, to keep novices safe from MSV guys, as it is a combined day. go as fast or as slow as you like in complete safety, it is up to you.
As Brands is my home track have done Indy masses of times in Inters, but not brave or flush enough to try GP or fast group lol
Have also done Cadwell several times on R6 and R1, Darley Moor (R6) and Oulton Park R1
Down to be there March 25th, May 6th and June  as had a seven year break until last year, then went round Brands on Fazer 8 and wasn't dissapointed 8)

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - HarryHornby - 02-04-14

Has anyone else managed to sign up for this in June???

Punkstig - do they allow leopard print on the track or is it a scrutineering fail?  :b

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 04-04-14

Leopard print is a definite fail, mainly because it seems to be the popular choice for punks/emo's/scene kids, hence why I chose TIGER print, because in a class of being 'different' I choose to be different!
Hahaha!

Smile  nice reply  Smile

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - HarryHornby - 03-06-14

So, we are in June....not long to go, hopefully I'll have my exhaust studs fixed (Yeah, thanks Red!) and will have scrubbed in my new tyres.


So, who is actually coming to this on the 30th June??


I was going to speak to Jim at Kent firebike and see if we could organise a slow ride down the main straight at the end of the day a la Top Gear style, all the fazers in a row with a photo of us all taken from in front by some brave soul standing on the track.  Could be done I reckon!  Smile

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 03-06-14

Hi Harry, as far as I know there will be....Me, you
Harry Hornby
Dazza
Kitcrazy (subject to getting a bike)
Punkstig
Grandma (Think she is one of the IAMS instructors)
Buzz



If there is anymore, make yourself known.



Yes it would be good if we could get a Foccer photo on the main straight, perhaps all on the start line with pole position reserved for the fastest of the day and retrospective positions for the 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th fastest. Gives a little added incentive to rag it. :b 


Been having a little Fazer fettle today in preparation
Barn door screen replaced
Barkbusters removed
Givi rack removed
Oil and filter changed
Frame covers dropped off at powder coaters
Exup valved checked
Brakes checked and pistons regreased
New rear tyre at the end of the week to be fitted
Booked in for valve clearance check next week
And
Subject to funds
Fresh front fork oil nearer the day. Smile

Take it there'll be a Handicap system to formulate lap times of 600's compared to 1000's Wink

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 03-06-14

NO  :lol

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 03-06-14

Actually Neil, that's a fair point. Although only the Indy circuit so pretty tight, the 600's will get swamped out of the bends, although Punkstig's  pretty good in the corners.

How about, for a thou to gain a position on a 600, they have to lap them at least once......

What do you think, does that sound fair ?

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - HarryHornby - 04-06-14

In that case then Dazza, I reckon it will be Grandma on pole, Punkstig, Dazza on the front row, in that order.  I know my place, I'll head straight for the back row!


PS, they don't allow timing on a track day like this, saying that, would they notice the sundial for my timed lap???  :lol

Don't action cams have timer facility?

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 04-06-14

There's no need to time anything, it's just a bit of fun and let's be honest, everyone will know their position in relation  to each other as they overtake or get overtaken by them.

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - HarryHornby - 04-06-14

Bagsy last place!  :o

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 04-06-14

OK, It's yours.  :lol

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - midden - 04-06-14

I'm sure you'll all have loads of fun  Smile
