The timings have all changed this week as the 24 hour endurance race has sadly shrunk to an 8 hour one and will now take place on the Sunday.

Rattler - you're signed up of the trackday so you'll need to be there for signing on, currently between 8 and 9 (to be confirmed though).

Where can I find the schedule for this weekend. What's occurring????

I've booked the trackday. I think I am now riding up on the Friday night. I thought the track day bit was Sunday ... is it Saturday ?

Doh

I'm out of the loop. Help Lizzie:(

domski

There is no loop ;)

All the DSC stuff is happening on the Saturday.

The KRC Endurance is on the Sunday.

:D

Thanks DD.

Ok. I volunteered to help with whatever needed hands on help for the weekend. If it's an 8 hour endurance, what am I in for? Basically, I'll do whatever is required but either I've missed threads, not paid attention or nothing's been posted ... what, other than the DSC partial trackday, is the order of play for the weekend.

It's no biggy. I'm there anyway. Just would like a slightly clearer picture of what's due to happen.

Anyone know?

I'm always happy to wing it but wouldn't mind the reassurance that it's all going to be reasonably well organised. I know the DD racing will be but what about the peripherals?

:D

I don't know what's going on either ruthie, you're not alone!

At tho moment my plan goes something like this:
Friday afty - load truck
Friday eve - drive to Snet

domski

08-Jun-2005, 23:13

I beleive that it will go something like this...

09:30 - 13:00 DSC member trackday (2 groups, 5 sessions each)

14:00 - 14:15 Desmo Due un-timed practice

15:30 - 15:45 Desmo Due Qualifying

17:20 - 17:50 Desmo Due race (30 min race)

...I don't think we're doing the 8 hour race on the Sunday though :o

domski

08-Jun-2005, 23:15

Oh, I'm guessing that at some point during the Saturday, there will be qualifying sessions for the Endurance racing... Maybe after our track day, and after practice and after qualifying???

At a guess ;)

domski

08-Jun-2005, 23:15

Oh and before I forget...

...Ali will be falling off at around 17:42 ish :lol:

That's pretty bloody accurate! I usually like to bin it about 2/3 of the way through the race, although I am thinking of varying it a bit in forthcoming races to provide a bit of 'tension' for the spectators!

For anyone interested I'm be thowing away my eigth place at the Esses, so the bridge is probably the best place for my crash-photographers...:lol:

Whaddya think I am, a boat???

But seriously, I've highsided, I've lowsided, but I've yet to pull off a good flip, or a high-speed excursion to the potato field, so I'm planning a session with the CCCS (Chi Chan Crash School) before taking my CBT (Chris Butcher Topple) exam......

By the end of the season I hope to be a qualified instructor in cocking up races and hurling money down the road. Truly a worthy goal!

Only one race? and 30 mins long. I can see quite a few retiring at the 20 min mark:D

yes, i can see it being a war of attrition rather than a race.
