Yes - definitely


Well, more than you'd get for not going

Dan....how much is the trackday again?
when and where is this ?

ps

We had some guys from the Busa club running at Snetterton at the weekend , as lunch time entertainment during the BSB racing.

They wanted to see if it was possible for a bike to run 200mph along the straight from a standing start .

During the race , the fastest bsb guy was Leon Haslam during the race at 177 , hitting the straight at about 70.

First run for one of the guys saw him through the trap at 193 evidently the guy from the track almost shat himself as he came through on one wheel

It eventually got to 203 mph , even made the evening tv news
