  • If you look at a lot of the website stuff for the Glasgow drome they say it's the UK's third indoor track so I think Newport has slipped under the radar.

    Accreditation at Glasgow is a 4 part process, 2 x 1 hour sessions and 2 x 2 hour sessions. When you register your interest there's an option for how much track experience you have, if you have "considerable experience" you can skip the two 1 hour sessions and jump straight into part 3, the 2 hour "Preparation for Accreditation". There's also people being awarded full accreditation after completing part 3 without doing part 4 (or 1&2).

    For the next month or so the only things you'll be able to book will be accreditation sessions anyway because there's been so much demand for accreditation that it's all there is on the timetable for now.

    I'm one of the bike techs there by the way so if you're up and see a tall guy wi specs, tats and a 'tache, say hi.

    Everyone on the Glasgowfgss forum is asking about riding their own (street) bikes for accreditation so I'll mention that just now, if your bike is very clean and fully track legal you'll (probably) get to use it. We had one guy do the first part of accred on his own bike this week, his bike was pristine and he cleaned his tyres (which had very minimal outdoor use) with wet wipes before going on the track and that was fine but he did have to borrow a rear wheel in the end as his gearing was too low.
