Thanks for the comments,

It really was a good day, only cost £55 ($91) as well which is really cheap :D
There were 3 groups running out on track, novice (What i was in), intermediate and experts. We each got 5, 30 minute sessions during the day and totaled 70 miles which was and 55 laps i think. So really got the moneys worth.

As for the Track it is the Llandow Circuit, South Wales, UK.

I am running mismatched tyres at the moment i have the original IRC tyre on the Front and on the rear a Continenental ContiGo. I would highly recommend it as it offers much higher grip than my IRC rear did

Congrats! I was just thinking about going to one near Vancouver here. 55 laps are a lot more than I have imagined for a track day. That's a lot of experimentation and practice. Did you notice any difference in your riding before and after?

That was cheap, was that with a Kwak owners group, or just an open track day?

Wales it a bit far for me, Silverstone or Donnington would be better.
