New year tack day at mallory (pie and mash!)

Any one planning on attending the traditional mallory pie and mash track day on January 2nd? £39 for the day with gues what for lunch, from No Limits tack days. I missed last year, but i'm tempted for this year. not sure what their response is to snow. I know that carry on running in the wet (cue the frantic swapping of wheels!) but i don't know about snow. I mean, you could easily keep the circuit & paddock well salted, but for those who don't have heated grips (don't see why i should have cold hands) the cold might be more of an issue.

So, any one game for a ZXRoc meet at mallory that day? Lets face it, you'll never get a track day cheaper!

BRILLIANT DAY! got home yesterday well and truly nackered, but in a good way. weather wasn't too cold, track almost completely dry, and plenty of time on it. No limits guys were great, as was my trusty zxr. me and a mate on an old zx6r showed the posers on the prepped track bikes what road bike with our salt, muck, and luggage racks can do! :pmsl The zxr guzzled fuel when on track, but i did spend most of the time at over 10k rpm, and even managed a steady 100ish around gerards! And my chicken line is no more! :excited

wish there has been some more of us there (i didn't spot anyone i knew), would have been a laugh.

hehe, that was the official stance of the no limits staff too! was a good day though, dry, not freezing cold, good way to blow the cobwebs out. I had longjohns under my race leathers, and two jumpers over the top! The heated grips helped loads.
