DAVE HARRIS \'RIDERS FOR HEALTH\' CHARITY EVENING TRACK DAY DAVE HARRIS 'RIDERS FOR HEALTH' CHARITY EVENING TRACK DAY BRANDS HATCH 22ND AUGUST 2005 Dear all Annette Harris along with Jonathan Palmer at Motorsport Vision and Kevin Healy at Focused Events has organised a special charity evening in remembrance of Dave. Following the tragic accident at Brands Hatch on 25th May 2005 Annette has kept in touch with both Motorsport Vision and Focused Events and knowing that Dave was a keen supporter of the Riders for Health charity they have decided to hold this event. Motorsport Vision have kindly donated the circuit along with staff, who are also donating their time, together with Focused Events who are providing all the administration free of charge. The cost of the evening will be £45.00 per rider and this will be donated in full. There is also a sponsorship form and it is suggested that riders try to get somewhere in the region of 25p per lap from sponsors. With the entry fee and sponsorship it is hoped that a sizeable sum can be donated to the Riders for Health charity in Dave's name. Annette specifically wanted as many of the Ducati Sporting Club members to attend this event and has worked with everyone to get it as close to the Brands Hatch round of the Desmo Due race on 11th September so that it could also act as practice for the Desmo Due riders of which Dave was one. It is hoped that there will be 3 groups on the evening to increase the number of places available and to also increase the potential donation but we would urge you to quickly sign up as the invitation has already been sent out to those riders that attended that tragic evening and no doubt many from the Ducati Sporting Club will wish to attend. To confirm your place please would you contact the Focused Event office on 08702 646268 and make your initial £45.00 donation. If you cannot make it then why not ring and make a donation or sponsor a rider who will be there. Lets make this a great event with as many Ducati Sporting Club members as is possible riding round one of Dave's favourite tracks. mw |
Great idea Mike. I'm in. |

Got a spare bed that night (not the floor) :lol: |
Alan wil have space in the van, for anyone who wants their bike to have a lift - tho you'll need to drop it over the nite before, as he is working on the Monday till 2pm. C:) |
Quote:
Yep .. as you are the 1st to ask ..... I take it you mean the night after ??? as being a track evening "Sign on" isn't until c4.15pm |
Quote:
Why ... you offering the night before as well you cheeky boy you :P |
Can't make this - but how do we Sponsor a rider, what's involved? Can we have an on line form? [Edited on 1-8-2005 by Steve M] |
Quote:
you can u2u your pledge to meet if you like ??? makes no odds how it gets to RfH, as long as it gets there ... |
The paperwork from focused events included a sponsership form suggesting an amount per lap. I think a flat amount would be simpler. You could just U2U a member that you know is going and then can add you to there form as a sponser [Edited on 1-8-2005 by electricsheep] |
Unfortunately I will be away on Holiday. :( I would like to sponsor the DSC rider who will do the most laps...Dibble, is that you? R X |
Quote:
not likely but you can u2u a fixed amount pledge ... might be easier as counting laps will be a mare ... |

especially around brands indy, i'll have to stop to take my boots off when I run out of fingers to count on :) |
Right we're up for that ! Will phone tomorrow. Now - if I don't ask, I'll never get ... (assuming I get a place) I'll donate another £50 if someone loans me their DD bike for the evening ! If that pans out, for a £50 donation I'll loan my 748SPS or my 350 racer. |
booked 2 places for Bruce and i,Chris is CSS ing on that day so he cant make it but he iIS keen for his bike to be there ,will give some thought to doing something with it for the charity,any suggestions welcolmed. Butch |
Quote:
That was spooky ! What do you think of my offer ? |
Will mull it over,i was thinking of taking it myself and i had also mentioned it to Monty,but iI WILL give it some thought . (would need to sort out what happens in the unfortunate event) Butch |

Thanks for considering it. In support of my case, I never push at a track day - that's what I go racing for. A result for me is to finish every session (or race), not to beat everybody. If I go out on my race 350, then I might push harder, but not on a road bike, and not on someone else's ! Maybe we could compromise ... and sponsor each other on each other's bike ? £1 a lap ? (Ah ... my lap times on a 350 are about 1m 5s ... that could get expensive :lol: ) And ... I'm doing an ess day at brands on mon 8th, so you could ask for a report on me after that ! (I think I get a video :o ) |
No track day action for me yet I am affraid, However you WILL see my sorry ass as I will be in attendance in the flesh ( whats left of it ). Lets be having you Kev |
