Description
Brian, aka B had setup this track-day for LB members, with about 20 members turning up nice and early to share the LB garage, get help from those who've done it many times before and get a bit of coaching for those who were new to the experience. It was damp in the morning, but everyone settled in and had a great time, then predictably given the time of year, the skies opened and it started raining. Nearly everyone still went out as there was quite a bit of grip round the circuit, then lunch came and everyone crossed their fingers for the rain to cease, which it didn't.
With two weeks to go until Brands Hatch sees the finale of the British Superbikes round, virtually the entire line-up in the Advanced Group was taken up by BSB racers from the Superstock, Supersport and 125GP. This made it very interesting for the LB'ers in this group, with hard and fast passes put on them. All good inspiration!
There was a great atmosphere in the LB garage with lots of advice, support and help on hand to ensure had the best experience they could get. Those in the Advanced Group switched to full wet racing tyres by mid-day to make the most of things, with B, the Focused Events senior instructor and track coach coming out to play with them on his bike that had dry race tyres fitted! Following B was an inspiration and complete adrenaline trip. What that man can do on tyres that are nearly slicks in the rain is beyond me. We had a good play.
Nearly all had a great time despite the weather. We look forward to the next one!
