After a long break for various reasons, I'm back on Carole circuit. As I bought my own trailer, it will be really easier from now on to come more often.
On this fall afternoon, track is completly wet, so I have to learn a new kind of driving. The positive aspect is that there are only 15 people training. You have to learn to be careful when opening throttle, to have more fluid actions....bike is sliding when acclerating even in 4th gear. Time after time, I feel better, my first 1'46 lap times decrease to 1'35''45. Just after, maybe a bit too much self confident, I lock the front wheel when braking at Golf corner...I stil wonder why I didn't crash. I think it's not a good idea to stop after that, but, on the next lap, I have a big slide when accelerating to exit parabolic corner....so I stop.
Next day, on sunday, track is dry, but, of course, there are many people : 4 sessions plus 125 cc. After one hour, I can go, I run one warm-up lap, and, just at the beginning of the second lap, in the slowest corner, I have a mechanical problem which locks my front wheel. I'm alone, in the middle of the track, on guy falls trying to avoid me (sorry guy). I repair the problem (something was locked in master cylinder) and go back, after waiting another hour. But I have no braking at all now, seems I need to bleed air...so let's go home.
