Can ordinary DSCers join in with the 'trackday' bit or do they have to be part of the DD lot?

I don't especially want to get out there with those nutters from the DD but I would like a foreign track trip at the beginning of next season, and this sounds like very good value.

I'm looking for the following terms:-

1. If I have to ride with the DDers, they all promise (in writing) not to scare the bejeezus out of me
2. In return, I promise to try not to be a mobile chicane
3. I'd prefer to share a room with a girlie, or pay a reasonable single room supplement
4. If 1 - 3 are satisfied, and it doesn't clash with my skiing holiday (which is supposed to be over Easter), I'd like to come, please

Hi Ruth, it's really up to the DD guys how they would want to run it but with 40 riders having the whole track to themselves for 3 days you could easily run 2 or 3 groups and have quality tracktime. The hotel is very reasonable if you would like a single room, but I'm sure there must be some other Ducati lady riders would wish to attend.

Skiing wise - cancel Easter and get up to the Sierra Nevada after the trackday. Its great skiing, although pretty high (10,000 ft) and the atmosphere is top (no pun intended). Zero Germans = No hassle at the lifts! Boarding is excellent as they have a full on board park - half pipes and biiiig jumps. (Which J.McW fell off ha!) This is actually the only reason I'm doing all this -so I can sneak off for a play! It's cheap as well.

Re - earlier question on committment (eek) - £100 refundable deposit until 15 December on a credit card will do it. If there aren't enough takers then money back, nothing lost and the flights should still be cheap to book when we confirm. (obviously if we get the numbers earlier we're off!)

Thanks, Gerry

PS Video will be up any minute...right Domski>???

Have you had a chance to watch it yet? He does a 1.24ish and it's mental fast - near 150 on the straight, 125 through the fast flick - and Karl Harris did a 1.16!...gulp..

[domski]

So I should be looking at 1:11's then?

I've already told Leon H to watch out at Jerez. Don't go on and on about winning the championship though Dom....And please, no-one mention protests! There's a vid of Guadix at http://www.racedays.net/academy.htm on board a Radical sportscar doing a 1.20 lap. G
