Hmmm that put's me at the sharp end of Med-Quick .... I'm happy with that on a 16 year old bike :D :kuda:

Quick punters get around in the range 1'00" to about 1'08 or so.

Med-quick punters around 1'09" up to about 1'14" ??

Anything between 1'15" and 1'20" is still quick - but more like the times that ride-day punters get - average ones anyway....

If you can get under 1'10", you are going well. 8)
Thanks for that it will give me an indication on the Friday, on how I'm going learning the track, is there a preference on tyre compounds to use, eg soft front medium rear?,

Most suggest a hard rear as the track tends to cause strange tyre wear on the softer compounds.

Great to meet you guys, Jason and I had a great weekend, learning the track on Friday was interesting, trying different suspension settings, tyre pressures, etc
great fun track once you start to get your head around turn 2 to turn 7, I had some great dices over the weekend, with a CBR and an R1, and lucky to miss a very red misted young guy on a GSXR, he came out ok but his bike was not the best. Looking forward to round 2 with only a 2hr drive. :D
