alright guys cheers for the replies.. such a shame to hear about o/s dwindling in the balance. I've thought about getting to racing for years but have always had visions of being laughed off the track by a bunch of 16 year olds with 10 years of experience under their 28 inch belts..
Id be useless as Ive never ridden a track before, but I just fancied something to do on weekends for a laugh and to meet some new people..
I had looked at hartlepoole since posting and it looks quality.. only 45 mins from where I'll be next year aswell. I'll definitely pop down to the track to soak up the atmosphere and maybe do a couple of laps on a borrowed bike
before dishing out for a bike.
Once again cheers for the advice and I'll see you in March!
