Woke up to clear skies and bright sunshine friday morning
Get to the track unload the van into a garage and then attend briefing
Take the bike over for db test bearing in mind its 102 db max i thought i would take a chance on not putting in my db killer BIG mistake it came out at 105 so back to the garage db killer in and 100.7
only trouble is the session has already started and it took the 2 oldies about an hour to get all bikes tested



Onto track and OMG i love the place .
I know it's expensive but seriously it has to be done
It is very similar to Cadwell except it's wider ( not wide enough for ChrisK5 who passed me using the grass ) and a bit more flowing.

It does look like fun, one day when I'm rich

its worth every penny to go to Oulton and its no dearer than silverstone and a lot cheaper than brands hatch

Hence why I havent done any of those either I think I said to Colin at Llandow, I'd happily pay £170 for a trackday if I could g'tee it would be dry but just so scared of it being wet and wasting (in my eyes) the best part of £250-300 Theres only so many goats you can sacrifice!

Saying that, Oulton would be my choice for a track I havent tried before (after Mallory!)

been looking for a sat or sun,in either aug,sept or october,but no joy

but you'll pay £99 or £109 for say cadwell that will cost a extra £10-15 in diesel but you wont pay £149 for a track thats awesome or closer. when you add up the whole costs involved in doing trackdays the extra 30 quid or so to do a awesome track far outweighs the costs. in my eyes budgeting £300 for oulton is better than say £250 for a day at pembrey ;) ;) ;)

noise police mate

the track (as does thruxton) has to be quiet between 10.30 and 12 on a sunday for the church goers so no point having weekend trackdays there, different for the racers as they can plan breaks into the schedule

ah that explains it,will go for anglesey again then

glad you had fun col ...Oulton is top of my list along with Brands.Think by the time i get there i'll have forgotten how to ride a bike

Pity you weren't there Saturday mate i would love to have seen you chasing down Jenny Tinmouth

awesome mate, let me get a few miles on the blade and then i'll do Oulton

As Colin said its a fantastic track, the elevation changes are as cadwell but a wider track.
Well worth the money.

I did this on the Tuesday in the glorious sunshine and it was effin exhilarating and scary in almost equal measures, I loved it!
