I didnt time myself in it, doubt I was under 9 mins though as I wasnt pushing on very hard.

I believe lee got a fair way under 9 though, but cant remember the fastest time he got.

yeah powdercoated, had a bit of trouble at first as they coated the mating surface that mates against the hub, had to grind it all back so it sat on the wheel hub rather than the powdercoating if that made sense!!

Been biting my tongue on this thread.

But FFS! What is everyone's fascination with timing laps?? - it mostly ends in tears.

Whatever time you do, there will be someone quicker, so what is the point?

Did you guys that went get specialist insurance to go on track or did you just brave it without it? keep looking to see where and only come up with 2 places that do it. any extra info would be handy as i go end of next month.

Cheers

Looks like everyones had a great time

Was thinking of going to the ring after the Belgian Gp in august but its shut until the evening which is a bit of a shitter. Does much private testing go on when its shut to the public and would it be worth going for a look anyway as Spa is less than a couple hours away.
