Well what a day! more so for us Novice (first timers) 8)
For the experianced Ben, the day did not start well, Had problems with the R1 (battery went flat) and getting used to riding the old bike, would of been nice to of used the Gixxer 1000 but it is not ready yet. But as Ben said, he was chasing track time.
For us newbies, the shining light was Gohan 8) practice was great for Gohan and Zipdrive, Gohan fastest lap was a 62.51 thats a great effort, while Zipdrive best lap was a 64.8 that to was a great effort. For myself I was struggling, bike set up was up the shit with tyres chewing up and with the bike drifting wide mid corner, hence lap time down 2 seconds a lap, with my best practice session being 67 sec with average being 70 sec :oops: After playing around with set up I was able to drop times to 65 sec to 66 sec mark.
For Zipdrive the start of race one was a horror :shock: he stalled on the grid and I know I just missed him, from there that was the last we saw of Gohan he pushed on to win by 14 / 15 sec and pretty much did that for all three race's, Well done Gohan 8) your truly was able to knock off three 2nd place results, so I was really happy with that more so with the brake problem I had :oops: on 3 to 4 ocassions I lost brake travel so the lever hit the bars with no resistance :evil: that problem with the front wheel locking, not good!! While loading the bike on the trailer we found the braided brake lines leaking :oops: this would explain the brake lever problem. As for Zipdrive he finished 11 in race one, due to stalling problem and 5th in race 2 and 3 8) thats pritty good concidering the poor starts he was having.
All in all it was a great day, with some good experiance for us newbies 8)
I will put some results up tomorrow 8)
