After the weather looking like it was going to be a shocker it turned out nice most of the day down my way. Hope you had a good one m8.

Did a huge write up the good ol SD.net deleted it

Looking back at the GoPro footage i can see where all my speed has gone (ive actually lost 15 seconds a lap around Donny from my best times). Throttling off way too early, breaking far too early, not running enough speed on corner entry which is obviously slowing mid corner speed. The only thing im kinda happy with is corner exit and picking the bike up and getting on the throttle.

Oh well, onto Silverstone next Sunday and looks like it could be another wet day.

Just read this on TDR forum.

"Had a fantastic day, even though it rained early on, got there early in garage 21/22 and set about changing the wheels over on a recent purchase black 1992 zxr750, only just got the thing going as well.
first 2 sessions in inters group on a bike i had never ridden before in the wet, loved it !! in fact i like riding in the rain now.
it then dried out so out came the road bike n set about destroying a set of tyres, u may of seen a motorsports colours s1000rr that pops n bangs n sounds the nuts !!
saw mrsJ out in inters on her gsxr and am sure she was shadowing another lady rider on a ktm ??? both quick !!
There was 8 of us in garage 8 and unfortunatly one came off down craner in the morning sessions, think he is ok though not sure on the bike !!"

Made me laugh, the guy obviously saw your pink frame....
