Great pics Phil

I bet you wish you had a video of you recovering your near spectacular spin. Did you take any in-car videos?

Those track days are something I'd love to have a go at someday for the craic.

No vids i am afraid Need to get a camera sorted i think...

There is another one at Kirkistown on the 22nd August which i should be at if you want to bring yours down as well

I am a lot more confident of its abilities on the road now, great way to learn how to drive one...

Good stuff Phil - sounds like you had a blast. How did the XYZ brakes hold out?

If you fancy crossing the water, this track day at Rockingham is worth attending

Brakes were excellent, i took a couple of people out for passenger rides and they could not believe how late i was able to brake into the corners..

Rockingham would be great , would love to do some on the Big UK tracks...

Getting all crossed-up only means you WERE trying hard enough!

They are fantastically-balanced.

Do your BBKs fit without spacers?
