As the title says thanks everyone for making today ( Pembrey ) such a good day :P :P
The morning was a bit HIT :shock: or miss with the Intermediate group getting about 8 laps in 3 sessions, After lunch and an excursion onto the grass things settled down and we had a blast.
I would like to thank Alan Holland for his help in changing riders names and people swapping groups and for having a chat with everyone after lunch :wink:
Glad to say that with all the accidents we had no one was seriously injured :shock: :D

I'm waiting to see the claim against Funky for lost track time ....... :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol:

As said in the Pembrey thread, a great day thanks to both the SWB folk, the PBR Trackday team, and the Pembrey Circuit staff 8) 8)

Just a shame the recovery/ambulance folk had to earn their keep quite so much ...... :cry: :oops:

Thanks to Colin for organizing a great day :D and thanks to all the PBTD staff and the Pembury circuit staff.
I hope funky is ok
The afternoon sessions went well apart from colin's little excursion, by the end of the second session in the afternoon i was just starting to get the hang of corner entry and exit points, still next time eh.
I have got the bug and am up for more. :D :D :D

I think trackdays with the Funkster should be done like that anti-drinking TV advert. Arrive at circuit, throw his bike off the trailer, everyone take a few swings at it wth a hammer, then kick him a few times for good measure too, send him to the medi-centre for a while, then load the bike and him back into the van whilst everyone else continues to have a good day on track witrhout the interruption :wink: :lol: :lol:





Either way, I do hope you're feeling a bit better in yourself today Funky, and sorry I didn't get to see you when you came back :|

as ever the company on the day,and the night before was great,and like moose has said the cammeradery of swb is something to be proud of.
so glad no one was seriously hurt
what a great track,the first session scared me so much i wanted to go home,then for the second session the instructor(a very nice and very fast lady) got me to follow her lines all session,starting of really slow and gradually building up speed,and by the end of the session i really got the feel for the track.going out on track after that was totally different and just got better and better.absolutely loved it awesome
once again thanks colin and all the staff up there for a brilliant day :D :D :D

:D :D :D :D

wow that was a cool weekend!!! For my first ever track day that really opened my eyes and loved every minute.

Big thanks to colin and the circuit staff for putting up with the swb crew. Seeing guys fall off was a little off putting for the confidence along with very track time in the morning put i slowly improved in the afternoon. I am still getting my head round how much grip comes from the tyres amazing !!!

mr smiler great last session

glad everyone who fell came home in one piece even funky .

thanks guys for a great one roll on the next like chris k5 said i have the bug . :D :D :D
