Cadwell open pitlane report

https://youtu.be/kQt-PHtm2d4

That's crap mate! I don't get it at all on trackdays we all want to ride just stick within your talent and everyone has a good day. Would be brilliant to get out together some day. The open pitlane was much better and I'll be booking those if possible in the future, there's some coming up at Cadwell later in the year if you fancy it? I've just stumbled across myself on another riders camara https://youtu.be/830qQTF8UN4 9min at the gooseneck and follows me until park straight. You can see everyone riding much more respectfully unlike the inters idiots. Nice to see yourself for a change. Then Ryan Vickers flys past him at barn but again plenty of room. I'm assuming you ride fast group? I thought people would be a bit better???

Must say that bike is looking much nicer these days Adam 👍 Saw the crash yesterday I think it was but thought it was an inters session at the time. OPL explains the difference in pace between everyone. But still, a little less aggression on a track day wouldn't go amiss. When he came up to the traffic he probably should have hung back a moment to figure out what was going on. At least that's what I do when I see a traffic jam in front of me.

At least that's what I do when I see a traffic jam in front of me.  But then if you wait a minute you end up just being part of the train as people can sometimes take liberties flying by. Into Park is bad for that I think. Getting passed by riders I'd just overtaken because I didn't want to nip up the inside of a slower rider into Park corner. Only to have the slower rider I'd passed earlier do it to me ha.  Good to see you getting out there doing some days. Riding's looking good. Looked comfortable through Charlies judging by that other lad's video.  EDIT: Also good to hear you got on well with the TD slicks. At least in Spain when I swapped from the old SC scrubs to the compks they didn't feel quite as sticky as the supercorsas I'd taken off. Still plenty good enough for me, just not quite as grippy on the edges.

No I'm going to get it early next year James I'm focused on getting round all the Bemsee rounds that I haven't ridden yet, need to do Donny, brands GP and Oulton and that's all of them. Have you got anything else planned?

Plenty of time, I know it's a drive by limit at Donny but thought 102 static is similar to the drive by limit?? Mine varies, usually 102 static but blew 99 on the first day at Cadwell then 104 the next. My mates RSV was 112 without a baffle 99 with. 

That's good to hear, snetterton can be strict depending on the tester but I'm yet to use the baffle I bought from MHP.

My first open pitlane trackday and I was a little bit nervous to go out with the fast boys but me and the little 6R held our own and I learnt a lot following some much faster riders. Also my first time out on slicks and although not a full blown race slick the metzeler TD slick was equally as good if not a touch better than the SC1 supercorsa tyres I previously ran. Bike was faultless, sun was out and a little show off photo over the mountain. Snetterton open pitlane on the 3rd can't wait.

Hi Adam, you going racing, I raced with them years ago, you will absolutely love it mate, trackday won't feel the same again after that 👏😂👍.

Thanks Adam, that's very kind of you all👍
