RE: Track Day Advice
3 sisters may be worth a look?
I know they have ACU "test days" & it's pretty twisty, so corners are everything, as opposed to top end speed.
I know you're a seasoned classic racer, but maybe I can pass on some of my limited advice?
I had some good times at Oulton park, once against an old 350 Honda, said he'd raced the Manx, I was on my Speed Trifle(sic) & had the speed, but he passed me like I was stood still going into the corners. I'm not particularly fast, by the way.
if you start in the "slow" group for the first session, then move up during the day I think it'll be fine.
Once, my friend booked us into the fast group at Oulton, "we've done some trackdays, it'll be fine" he said "we'll be a rolling chicane" said I.
After the first session I was hiding in the van & the organizer came running up to us saying "what the hell are you doing, you're like rolling chicanes.."
So we moved down a class & it was OK then.
There always seems to be someone on an ancient 250 Honda G5 or similar with good tyres on, that blows nearly everyone away!
