Well it's trackday time on Friday and I'm getting proper excited about it now. Too the Golf out for a B Road blast and shakedown yesterday and all seems good. I've got thursday off for some last minute prep and to run the semi slicks a bit to get rid of the release agent.

Weather for friday is looking good at the moment as well.

It's looking proper hot for friday. Maybe those non opening Polycarb windows weren't such a great idea!

Yeah, I think Richard's had some long sleeve T-Shirts made up for the day as well.

I need to give my R888's a run around town tomorrow to get the release agent off. Tempted to run them on the car on the way down to save the time swapping them over when we get there and to bed them in nicely. Knowing my luck though I'd pick up a puncture!

That's not terribly likely, Nick.

I'd definitely bed the R888s in on the way down.  You're supposed to heat cycle them a couple of times before tracking them...... supposed.

Richard normally has long sleeved tops on sale  :wink:

That was the plan for tomorrow afternoon with a couple of B road blasts round the Hampshire countryside.

Yeah he mentioned in an email he had some fresh ones done. I've got one from last year but it was a 2008 one left over from the year before.
