[AK]

takes me just over 7 & a half hrs from home with a clear run so would be a definate no
usually ends up taking about 9+ hours with traffic & a rest stop and swore 2 years ago I would never take race bikes there again.

Not being a racer I wont vote on this but, I've spoken to quite a few TD riders who come down from Scotland to Croft and rate it as highly as Knockhill.

Having said that, after going to Knockhill to watch the BSB round - I'm very impressed as its a lovely circuit both in location and layout.

Nothing to do with Croft being only 20 mins away of course

I've been there and it's a cracking little track, but way too far for me for 2 x 8 lappers.

Sorry.

[JPM]

Are there are jocks doing DD? ............I wonder why not?

[Tonio600]

no. Don't want to have to learn a new track

[hawk]

Sorry not for me

Rather do the distance to tracks like Assen.....

Horrible drive
cold and 99% heavy rain
Nice Track mind!!!!!!!

[NBs996]

470 miles from portsmouth... too far for me, doubt it'd be worth it.

[multi600]

No, too far for two short races. Rather spend the time and money going to Assen.

Just a thought. If DD can make it to Assen why not Knockhill? (Apologies in advance if that is far too simple a question). As the DSC has lost the right to having any meaningful representation north of the border due to neglect - Ducati up North stepped into the breach - wouldn't a DD race at Knockhill be a great way to try and re-establish the club north of the border?
