i would normally be down for it but for several reason, i'm unlikely to make it:

too late in the season to be any use for DD practice,

struggling with holiday days from work,

the great apex day earlier in the season tok some wind from its sails,

doing another day there soon anyway.


although im unlikely to be supporting this event i do still think it is a worthwhile venue and would have been packed had it been the firest/main DSC day.

although i am a great advocate of ducati/DSC only days i would personally open this up to all bikes and friends now as i can see a bit of a struggle.:(

I know - dammed if you do dammed if you don't. I'm sure if it was members only we'd still see mostly Ducatis there. Also understand that with DD and this wonderful 'economic turndown' we're experiencing it gets harder to justify spending that sort of money. On the positive side many folk made the trek from darn sarf to Cadwell so hopefully the northern guys will reconsider, the Indy is a brilliant circuit and after October it could be a long time before many of us get a trackday in again.

Talked myself into it I guess :)

"Talked myself into it I guess"-sounds like it to me Henry-I await your form. The thing with this North/South bit is that the bulk of the membership is southern based anyway-so Brands is easier for them-so where are they-where's Dibble??

John

I'm in for sure... I just need sort the membership at the same time. I know the problems that you can have with organising these things. I used to do them for a lotus club, until I lost a couple of grand and they then had to go through a t'day company as they build in a margin for low numbers.
However, I did found that the demand gets much greater nearer the date.
I love brands indy.......in a car........ never done a bike day!!!
Expect my form.

Would love to do it but I'm already waaaay overspent on both monetary and time budget to do this one.

Sorry :(

Joining fee (£5) is waived if you join and book trackday at the same time-it's on the form.

John

I'm booked on this one,;

- yes its close to DD ( but great practice)
- yes its a bit pricey (but its a great circuit)
- yes its more expense and takes holiday etc (but its a DSC TA day and will be a great laugh)

So, c'mon and get your forms sent into Monty, it'll probably be most people's last UK trackday of the year and will sign the season off nicely.

You'll regret it if you don't - and you'll get a t-shirt!!! ;)

Tim

£145 is pretty normal for the indy circuit i thought? though would not worry too much if i didn't get the Tshirt and was £5 cheaper (or BBQ like the apex one...Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.) just waiting to see a bit closer to the time on commitments and you may have 2 more ducati's booked up.

John,

What about sending out a bulk email to members, with the form attached, a lot of members don't use the message board.

Get Lizzie to put some forms on the Stand at the Popham Mega meet, perhaps with a poster?!

Sure it will fill up eventually, don't go the non member, non Duc road just yet:(

Cheers, Roy
