Although this event was booked only a week beforehand we managed to gather 9 ladies together for a storming track day in the blistering sunshine. What a great day we had.

This was organised to promote the team to the general public and encourage more ladies to get in touch with us to see if they want to join the team. Deb Cartwright from Fiesty Racing was there to advise potential racers and show how it's done (and boy did she with 1 minute 1 second times!).

Hottrax were extremely accomodating for us, giving us a discount for the group booking and allowing us to have 15 minutes of girls only on track for the camera. Thanks to Dave and Karen for being so helpful. The Hottrax instructors were also very helpful, with most of us getting one-on-one sessions and improving our lines. I need to be less obstinate through Edwina's and do as I'm told!

We did have one casualty unfortunately - Sarah took a tumble during the filmed session at Devil's Elbow (coming out of the Bus Stop). The bike is pretty beat up but Sarah was remarkably unscathed and unflustered. Her first words on finding her in the medical centre were "they'd better have got it on camera!"... they didn't - they'd moved to the hairpin a couple of minutes earlier. Sarah needs to do some fixing and she'll be back in track soon - balls of steel!

Special mention to 16 year old Kirsty on her flowery 125 and her supportive dad Icky. I didn't manage to get photos at the end, so please send some in.

Thanks to all the girls for coming along - hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We hope to see most of you at Silverstone on 25th September, and again for the track day 17th October.

The BBC crew consisted of Cathy Rochford, presenter, and Sarah the camera lady - they ended up being trapped in the infield and spent 2 hours with us filming and chatting. Hopefully we'll have some more interest from this coverage. Thanks to them and Mark Shardlow of the BBC Sports Desk for covering the event.
