Off to Anglesey next weekend. Can't wait!

Anyhow with a £100 to spend, would you buy some used Wets, have the suspension tuned and buy a photo cd or buy some more mounts for the action cam?

I know full well that if I buy some wets off ebay, that it will be beautiful all weekend at Anglesey. I also know its a long way to go to sit in a van all weekend too

HELP!

I bought some wets (WOW) went a whole season and never used em, not that I really wanted too mind.

I dont get any pleasure riding in the rain and sure your road tyres would be upto task when drying.

I would stick £100 on black at the casino, then its all or nothing

Suspension every time.

Then wait for the pics to come out and see if there's any decent ones. I bought a cd at Oulton and it was gash. 1 half decent pic out a cd of 30.


Of course being selfish I want you to get camera mounts and hopefully catch some vid of me coz my 8quid MD80 eBay cam is utter shite.

Wets - as a public service to others.

You can set-up your own suspension.

I must admit after checking the weather forecast a million times, I'm almost ready to push the button on the wets.

I have a good basic knowledge of suspension so will leave that I think.

I just can't afford to take any more risks on track, so thinking the wets will give me a greater safety margin.

Viking I'm sure that I'll get you on camera at some point, don't panic

You looking at used set of wets? Just the PITA of paying someone to change your tyres/scrape your rims then the sun comes out, plus you need warmers to get best out of em.

I'm with Dan.

Wets will be great if it pissed down for two days. But of its on and off you'll be having to keep standing at the tyre guy getting humped for 30bucks a time.

Use the 100 for another trackday is my advice,, but that wasn't on the list

Oh god I'm so mixed up now.

So does everybody think my diablo rosso corsa's will be ok in the wet then? I'll just go careful I suppose.

Och aye!

fook, I thought you were on interacts or something. They'll be spot on.....and even better if it's damp on places.

I had Sportsmarts on at Oulton in the wet/damp and was staying with the guys on full wets and I'm shit.

I'd say use the £100 for another track day as well. Although if my SD WOW's fit your RC your quite welcome to borrow them, just pick up/drop off at Kevs.
