I'd guess because they're the closest circuits to us, we can get to Silverstone is around 2 hours, Donny about 90 mins, Oulton 30

Sure but most stay over and enjoy BBQ's, the banter and the camaraderie that is DD.......its all part of the experience and the distance almost become irrelevent..

Problem is for me personally being self employed (I know Tony's gonna come back and say so is he!!!) I'd have to take a day off to travel etc, probably another day (2 half days) to sort bike, load and unload, hire a van blah blah blah.

For me to do a TD in the week effectively costs me the best part of a grand with paying for the TD, van, fuel for van, loss of days pay, wear and tear on bike (tyres, oil etc) fuel for bike, food/drink.

Thus why I am doing as many TD's at weekends this year, they cost a bit more, but that is easy outweighed by not losing a days pay.
