I'll be popping down in a professional capacity. Never been to Mallory, so sounds like a good plan to me.

Just downloaded a plan of the track (keen eh?) will it be the full track or just the oval?

06-02-2007, 04:59 PM

Full circuit with the exception of the new chicane on Gerrads

I know this is going to sound really dumb to most, so forgive my ignorance.

I've never done a track day before and may well do one day - maybe even this year's.

Question is re tyres. For a track day if the weather is good I assume you guys would naturally use slicks. Now obviously you can't ride up there with slicks on, so do they provide a service at the track day where they change your tyres from road to slicks and vice versa?

06-02-2007, 05:50 PM

no need for that
id guess that 99.9% of people on th ukmoc track day will be on road tyres

as an example of the adequatness of road tyres the Desmo Due race seres run by the DSC run roadtyres (and not a super sticky one at that)

Cheers Scotty!

Terry, cheers for your voicemail. I've just sent you a pm.

Didn't see the date it's on, so can't do this year's event. Will definitely be up for the next one though. Sounds like it'll be a good laugh!

What facilities (if any) are available for folks camping on the Thursday night? Is there somewhere to get breakfast or a hot drink on the Friday morning? I'm too old to completely rough it!

You've got a choice

You can camp on the lawn behind the pub beside the track.

Or you can camp in the paddock, supposedly the gate to the paddock is locked at 10.00 ish, so in theory you'd have to climb over the fence.

However last year the gate was still open when we left the pub a little-ish after 10.00 when the pub closed.

There's a cafe in the pits. Not sure what time it opens but I think it does a breakfast.

I live a pleasant 30 minute ride from Mallory, so maybe I'll go. The trouble is, I'm a really crap, cowardly rider even on the road...! Plus I still think as though my bikes have drum brakes (one still does) and believe the tyres only hold to the road when fully vertical.

It doesn't matter, sign yourself into the novice group and just enjoy! I bet you will come away with a big smile on your face.
