Brands Hatch - Monday 14th Sept ??

[J.P]

HOTTRAX are running a Brands Hatch GP Circuit on Monday 14th Sept, I'm booked, but is anyone else going ?
I've never done the GP Circuit before.

Only on Playstation. Would love to do it but not quite yet. On bucket list. May come along and keep you company if you want. Be your spanner man.

Very kind Albie, much appreciated.
Sounds like it's a busy day with 5 groups so a longer wait between each run on track.
Only if you're not up to anything.

[Albie]

Not that I know of. If you want bring your camera and will try and take some piccies of you.

Oooo would love to, but it's a monday in term-time so a no-go for me! Have fun :)

Well I went up to keep J.P company for a few hours. It was long gaps in between as was 200 riders. A few incidents cut the sessions short sadly for Justin. And before dinner it rained. He gambled on going out on a drying track and was the best session in morning for him. I left him at dinner going out to find a tyre to replace his worn one. Hope the rest of the day went well mate. I need to get a faster better camera as only just caught you. The old box brownies had its day one thinks.
Oh and yellow s4r is that you yellow fever. Do I remember you from Mallory track day year 1.

you wanna press the button a bit earlier! i know what you mean about digi cameras, my old one used to have a delay on it, really used to annoy me....
Good pics, like those pipes on the bike, hope he did alright with his new tyre, nice one of him approaching that bend, you didn't fancy the 1100 round there then? :mand:

[Albie]

I was using a fuji6900Z and even put it in sport mode. Its shutters too slow. Believe me I had him in the shot too the left as he approached and he had left by the time taken. I had so many with nothing in it at all. He was doing upwards of a ton there legally to those who love the SPEEDING thread. Im embarressed by its slowness and needs crushing but at least I have some.

Would have loved to go round and I will next year. Its on my bucket list and wanted to take 748 round but never did. My chance and I didnt take it.

[Albie]

Hey J.P how did you et on in afternoon sessions. I hope it stayed dry for you.

[J.P]

Thanks for coming down Albs. Much appreciated.

Yes I did stay out for the rest of the day and luckily it was also dry. Took the after lunch session a little easy as it was damp and I was running in the new tyre. But last session was all dry and I was really giving it stick, just like at Cadwell. That helped pick the day up because the gaps were too long, with 4 groups instead of the normal 3. Even had a rider on a 600 SRAD come and say thanks for a great tussle we were having near the end of the day.

Ah glad you got a tyre sorted at short notice.Where did you go in the end. Glad you had a better afternoon. I did fancy staying but my manager fancied meeting me for coffee and I thought I really shouldn't have been there. Glad your day went safe and well and you scrubbed new tyre in. See you saturday. Oh 140miles and no fuel light yet not bad range.
