Its 470 miles from sussex, which would be 10 hours travel each way minimum, and about £180 fuel alone.
Lovely idea, but just not worth the effort.
Going to Assen sounds easier and closer.
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.
Are there are jocks doing DD? ............I wonder why not?

no. Don't want to have to learn a new track :D
Sorry not for me
Rather do the distance to tracks like Assen.....
Horrible drive
cold and 99% heavy rain
Nice Track mind!!!!!!!
470 miles from portsmouth... too far for me, doubt it'd be worth it.

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?

henners see my earlier post.
could never afford assen AND croft in a season and i hate driving for bleeding hours.
:)
I think that a Ducati spectacular at Assen is barely comparable with a club meeting at Knockhill - as nice as the track is and all that ;)
No offence like :)
Is it March yet?

but you've won there Dom - don't you want a fresh challenge for 2007???

unfortunately with only 11 wanting to, even allowing for those that dont use the board then in reality its a non starter. shame but the simple logistics are its a chuffing long way for the vast majority of the people. still worth a look.
its funny that assen is nearer, but there you go and it wasnt such a bad weekend!

Nah, I want to do 2006 all over again please :D
Besides I've already had a Pole Position at Knockershill, back in the CB500 days - although I managed to complete the first lap in 27th place!!
I'll race anywhere anytime to be honest, I'm a racing ***** :lol:
