, maybe next time. Good advice about Edwinas 
, we had a few problems there last year 
, usually R1s and Fireblades highsiding 
trying to stay with firestorms Hooray!

cheers for the good wishes for the wife Phil...fingers crossed all will be ok.
looking at Edwinas, there are a couple of different lines you can take to negotiate the bends...
"fast in and slow out" or "slow in and fast out"..the problem arises when the the two types of riders meet some where in the middle..........
I think out of the seven races i saw that day, 5 were red flaged....
I know they put the new bends in to eliminate the problems after the esses with people highsiding before the hairpin, but they seem to have moved the issue further back up the track......thinking aloud, at least the "get offs" are slower at Edwinas...maybe thats why

Only just read this post and after having a look at the track organisers website theres only places in the advanced group left. Do you know what sort of level this group is likely to be as i've only been in the upper end of the intermediate groups at Cadwell and Donnington before and never Mallory?
Alternatively do you know if theres any places that have come up in the intermediate group?
Cheers mate

Si,
Sorry for delay Ive been away for the week. Saw your message and contacted the boss. No probs if you enter the advanced group, If your not happy he will be able to change you to another group after the first session. If you do decide to come speak to Gary and he will sort you out. No probs with just turning up just pay on the day and remember your driving licence. Usual rules re leathers helmets etc.
All the best
Phil
