I don't include agricola in this but it just seems like a load of hot -heads with road rage issues - tyre warmers/generators/tool trolleys, being looked down upon by "mostly out and out sporties, track bikes, race bikes", very few road bikes,raced. It all sounds very "clicky"to me. Isn't there any trackdays for road bikes only.
Don't be put off. There not all hot heads. Some give you a right chuckle. Like the bloke who binned his Panigale on the second of the sighting laps a couple of years ago. Or the chap who failed to spot the yellow flags waving and continued to overtake me and everyone else and ran straight into a dropped bike. The track bikes/racers will be in the advanced/inters sections. I didn't say looked down, it was me feeling uncomfortable when surrounded by the equipment that the racers/addicts bring to support their day. It doesn't bother me a toss now, not clicky at all. There are Road Bike Only days too, always do them at Donington, lovely mix of bikes, I wish there were more of them, most of the bikes are ridden to the track.
