    Sent my entry off to the spring cup at olivers mount yesterday. Just going to see how I get on might hate might love it who knows!!

    Enteres the open and senior classes to try and get as much time out there as possible since I only get 3 laps to learn it before qualifying!!

    Wish me luck!

    3 Days? I'd say you've got just shy of 3 months as it's local(ísh).
    It's well worth heading out and riding round it to get a feel for the humps and bumps. You could even cycle or walk it.
    Much easier for you to suss out than most tracks as we did a forum ride there a couple couple of years ago and rode around it as an open road. It's tight, but I can see it being easier to learn than many tracks as it's fairly short with not too many corners.
    It's the hairpin, chicane & especially turn 1 that scare me though :eek:
    All the best with it Mark, you've got balls. I'll stick the date in my diary to ride out and watch.

    Good shout. Just don't spend too much time looking at the monument as it's very tight round there. Such a great view of Scarbo' over from the monument too, but again, don't get too close :eek:
