Cadwell Park Track Day

Charlies
Booked a cheap deal a couple of weeks ago, so it was pot luck with the weather! Showers were the order of the day and after 4 laps in the opening session the heavens opened and it stayed wet until after lunch. We did get two dry sessions at the end of the day, so it wasn't a total waste of time.


It was one of those days when as soon as the track dried it started raining (or hailing) wetting the track again. A little bit frustrating! The first dry session in the morning was cut short due to an accident in the Expert group, ambulance carting someone off the hospital at 9:30am. I didn't bother going out in the wet, I don't want to crash and I can't get any enjoyment out of wobbling around.


Charlies onto the straight
Once it did dry out for the last couple of sessions it was fun in the Intermediate group, usual routine of getting blitzed down the straights and catching back up in the bends.


I'm getting more confident in the faster bends, I was getting my knee down going up through Coppice, pretty good for me.


I didn't really get into the grove and I was just happy to blast the cobwebs away. It was an okay day but the weather did screw things up. Four seasons in one day. Better luck next time!!
