    Yep seemed fine on the parts of the track that were dry I did take it easy round Druids as that did seem slippy but they look good after 2 pretty quick sessions .

    Just want to mention the improvements at oulton with the resurfacing work so much better especially at Druids even though it was slippy it does tend to be one part of the track that takes the longest to dry.Really like shells as well which has been completely done plus a run off coming in to Foulstons if you out break yourself.

    The Pirelli inters that I was using with tyre warmers were plenty hot when I got back to the garage. Remember you followed my lines in the wet last year and I had them on then, but they're definitely not for a wet track! Felt no confidence in them at all, but yesterday on a two thirds dry track they were awesome!

    To be fair the lads really did ride well yesterday for a first outing ,
    Rain , sun , rain , sun , hailstone , sun ,
    Top lads and plenty of balls ,

    I was having a nice morning taking a few snaps , talking to cbr1 ,
    Then dinner time and a text reading , I'm on my way .........

    Walked into garage 19 and there she was just standing there
    Shaking with a noise test sticker on her nose ........

    If I could of found his keys he'd not of had them back .:D,
