Is there a Cadwell Track Attack in 2011?
 

As the title suggest, is there?

Most of you will know that there is a group of us that look forward to coming down to this event every year.

I haven't seen or heard any mutterings so far this year and to be honest I'm not too surprised after the rough ride for the event in 2010 (lets not get back into that now, it serves no purpose)

Be that as it may, is it going to happen or do we get organised for something else? We're in the process of figuring out our calendars.

Anyone know anything as yet?

Mart

P.S. Happy New Year to everyone.:)

Sort yourselves out Mart-I haven't been asked to organise an event for this year so haven't booked one-but let me know if you are coming down and when as it would be good to get a group of us together this year. I have booked myself onto the DUK event at Silverstone-are you coming down for that?

John

Yes mate - we're defo coming down for Silverstone. I'll see you there, might even bring me truck!!

I'll have a look at No Limits web site and see what Oulton and Cadwell dates they have and get in touch.

Hi Martin

Unfortunately there will be no DSC specific track attack this year, we will be having a presence at Silverstone for the DUK event though.

Paul

End of a great era with some fantastic memories........attended them all and will miss it for sure :(

Never say Never, they may not be back for a year or so, but if it all works out I do not see why not.

Martin,

Do you normally run events North of the border at Knockhill? Not asked or checked before as I race up here not allowed to do trackdays by Knockhill. I raced a 400 for a while, but mostly classics, and now had a couple of years with DD, but wouldn't mind getting the 998 out at Knockhill as guess if it is not organised by them I would be allowed.

Maybe we could get some of our southern friends (softies to you an me) to come up for an event?

If you guys do decide to have an informal gathering at Cadwell, please let the rest of us know. Even if its not an official DSC day it would be nice if we could all descend on the same track day :cool:

I also have my name down for Silverstone, but still awaiting further details.

It sure does.
Please excuse the leathers;)

It is a shame that we won't have our own, but we just can't compete with the DUK event, so we're throwing our efforts into helping with this instead.

Hopefully the Track Attack will return, even if it is an informal gathering at a No Limits or similar event, as it has been in the past.

May have to see what Dave at Hottrax can offer us, now that DD is running at their race meetings

I did offer to take the financial weight and risk off the club and run a two day No Limits event, with first call for DSC and ALL other ducati clubs, could be exclusive if we got the numbers, book it through No Limits so no admin, all you need to do it turn up, book the band, bouncy castle, the hog roast, get a couple of dealers, fill the van/car/tank bag with your tent and booze and we could run exactly the same event as normal only better....but nobody has come back to me. Dates are out for 2011, not sure if two days are possible, but we do many Cadwell dates and it's up to you, you could take the whole day, a single group whatever, lots of options for us all, just needs a bit of imagination, but the fact is, we can run the day as normal No Limits day with all the associated benefits and all the benefits of Ducati/Italian only, DD group, non Ducati group, novice only group totally flexible, even a Monster only group (We used to run a full day exclusively for MOC back in the day, great days at Mallory). All possible, you just need to ask, but be quick

Hi John,

Who did you make the offer to would be the first question, as a member of the new MRT its the first i have heard of an offer being made, it might be an idea to get in touch with Ant, it might not be too late to get a date and some ideas together and see what the reaction would be, im sure there are plenty of DSC members and ducati owners who are not DSC members who would attend a ducati orentated track event.

Personaly i think its a great idea.

Paul

Ditto on that.


Chris:burn:

Well it must have been in a post because I read some where a thread from WJB with the offer!

I could be up for a DSC TD if something gets arranged

The new MT have taken note!

We've discussed this and we'll look into arranging something - it won't be a full-on DSC only / Ducati only trackday but more along the lines of booking with a TDO and hopefully negotiating a discount on the usual price as well.

I'm certainly up for it.I remember WJB making this offer last year when the Debacle that was the 2009 TD was being discussed.It was a fantastic idea then and still is.

Good work MT :)

That's a good response. I know it's not the same as a proper DSC TA but it could still be a track full of Dukes doing what they're designed for,without the financial implication. The only improvement on this would be a selfish one & that would be to have the TD over a weekend.

If the price of the DUK weekend ends up as high as suggested elsewhere then the DSC TD will be very popular.

Don't forget that the MT is here for the members, so if the members want something and we can do it, it can happen.

I've spoken to WJB via PM and he's given me loads of info so we can take this forward. We're in a good position right now as we're at the start of the year and a lot of TDOs have not yet got or posted dates they are running.

We'll keep on top of it and let you know.

NL have dates published to end of June on their site now. Still should be plenty of time though.
