It was a great day and well run by no limits

Top stuff Perkles. Glad you had a good day and refreshing to hear it was well run, as been alot of horror storys about TDs recently.

Happy days

despite feeling pretty sh!t and having no access to anywhere but the paddock I enjoyed meeting up with Jon and Andy again and managed to get a couple of decent shots

Great to see you as always Jack, hoping your talented enough to make me look like I can ride.

Agreed, it was very well organised by no limits.

The standard of riding in the inters group was excellent as well. Good track craft, I felt safe throughout the sessions even when there where groups of bikes circulating together at pretty decent speeds.

Cheers Jack.

Not my best photos, but after talking to you and realising it's been about 5 years since I've been on track and I was riding a bike I've never ridden before, I'm not surprised.

What I was really happy with is that is wasn't the slowest in the inters group, even in the first session when I was feeling a bit like a fish out of water. As the day went on my track position got better and the lines and breaking points started getting back to the right posts of the track.

After our lunchtime chat about body position and my general shitness through the esses up to the hairpin I spent a session working on that section, and a session trying to get the body position. I got a bit faster up to the hairpin, but the body position made a massive difference to the speed I could carry through gerads was much better and the bike was more stable.

I ended the day being able to tussle with and overtake bikes that where overtaking me at the start of the day.

Glad I could help , I do spend an inordinate amount of time watching bikes ( particularly at Mallory ) and the different styles that riders have so I suppose I must have "osmosis-ed" up some knowledge

Great pics Jack, and I’m with Blade, that was my pick of the bunch too, always been in awe of your tracking type pics!
