PS I know you are going to thrash me Jav :LOL:
 
They will tell you to ride anti-clockwise around the track, this actually a trick to catch out newbies.
 
Usually they do not like QRs on wheels, but removable ones like pitlocks are generally OK, or better still the Allen Key ones.

Personally I was worried beforehand about riding the banking high up, but when I got onto the track it was ground rush at the bottom of the banking that was most unnerving.

Newport's a lot nearer to you and not quite so steep :) I doubt your Spanky would fit the regs for an indoor track, though.
