I'll ask for you Mike.

Gerry may be able to book extra nights either side of the event so you can keep the same room as well.

What were you thinking? Before or after?

I'll ask anyway :)

so no early starts and get out there and back at reasonable times.

67 of your finest at the moment.

these are easyjet. im gonna pull the trigger now.


Sorted...all booked up!!!!

Flight number:3857 (out)
Flight number:3858 (return)

Looking forward to it...

And I`m up for sharing a car........JUST A CAR!!!! :lol:

http://www.absinthebuyersguide.com/images/glass_spoon_saucer_sm.gif

OK, I have just booked Andy (Final Edition) and myself on this flight ...

Who is organising cars as it appears there may be a few of us on this flight :)

[racedays]

We'll be sending out an info pack in the next weeks. This will have a rooming request form so we can match up 'room mates' and dates. Extra days shouldn't be a problem - there's more chance of getting a better rate with the group booking but it's up to you. (may get a bit confusing for the hotel though). Thanks Gerry

[final_edition]

What is the craic re; travel insurance. Do you have to declare track riding?

[dickieducati]

just dont fall off

Going from Bristol -> Malaga.

OK, there are now 3 of us going from Bristol to Malaga on these dates:
Out – Thursday 22nd, 16:35
Back – Tuesday 27th, 20:40

We've got a hire car sorted, but there's one spare seat if anyone else wants to come with us and split the cost of the car even more.

Let me know – tom@eidosnet.co.uk

Cheers,
Tom

[domski]

Tom, assuming you're staying in the same hotel all weekend, you'll need to let Gerry know, so he can book you the extra night (it's fri/sat/sun/mon inc in price). Unless you have already.

:)

[GrizzlyHippo]

Dom, as I understand from Gerry's earlier post, he's sending out a 'pack' which will allow us to book these extra days:

"We'll be sending out an info pack in the next weeks. This will have a rooming request form so we can match up 'room mates' and dates. Extra days shouldn't be a problem - there's more chance of getting a better rate with the group booking but it's up to you. (may get a bit confusing for the hotel though). Thanks Gerry"

No worries blondie!

Now, do I take the Aprilia RS250 and embarass you all, or take the 749 and GET embarassed by you all !!!!

Tom :-)

[domski]

I say bring the stroker... and let me embarrass myself on it :D

:lol:

[rich-racing.co.uk]

booked my greasyjet flight, and turned down the travel insurance as it's probably only third party...........

anybody know of a policy that covers you properly if you have a "biggie"?
would be useful, for assen as well! :devil:

[domski]

CICA - Combined Insurance Company of America.

I have the personal accident cover thingy, £250 a year.

VERY quick at paying out, and £1000 for a broken bone (arm/leg etc)

It's valid throughout all the commonwealth and USA (and other places) for virtually any activity - you'll be covered day to day as well - but not for war!

Do a search on here for it (we've spoken about it before) or Google them.

:)

[racedays]

For one reason or another we still haven't received booking forms from some people despite huge assurances they were on their way. The event will go ahead whatever even at a loss but there are now 6 places available to the first booking we receive on a first come first served basis. If we haven't received your form I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Our super new online booking form (cheers dom) can be used as this records time of entry.

Thanks, and looking forward to meeting you all in February.

Would it be worth putting up a list of those whose forms you haven't had yet, or at least PM'ing them. I would hate to be working under the illusion that I was going, only to find you hadn't had my forms back.

Guadix circuit will be offering a full accident insurance including repatriation costs at around 20 Euro a day. It's underwritten by Llyods so is a fairly comprehensive cover. I'll forward details to everyone with the other info.

Gerry I know its early yet, but can you tell me if its worth taking our transponders with us?

[racedays]

Hi Jon, we won't be running any timing programme. However the circuit has a loop if anyone has the AMB software....I'll speak with Guadix and see what's available. G

Thx Gerry

[domski]

I've spoken to someone about this (loan of software etc), so may be able to sort this out - fingers crossed ;)

Gerry, do the Rehm crew have anything we can borrow? or copy us a CD or something?

[racedays]

Don't know if the software alone will do it without some kind of hardware to hook it up to? We're looking at getting a transponder set up for the Academy but this is dependant on response to the whole idea. At the moment it's fairly positive so maybe next year. Besides won't you lot be running off to buy sport 1000's now? Perhaps they'll have the dataloggers like the 1098ers?

How much interest have you had in the Academy race thing?

Oh and any update on Jeremy?

[racedays]

Hey Lily, how's it going? Academy is 50 % full for the march date already. JMW doing alright. I'll place bets he's playing golf on New Years Day at La Manga (no ****). Hardest rider award for sure - had his leg pinned under an epidural, finger 'trimmed' under a local....barf...Think he'll be surprising a few people next year!

[Dibble]

Gerry, spoke with Michael, gave him the +49 number you called me on, let me know if he hasn't sorted it yet ..

PS Info is on its way soon. Have managed to ignore a nice dose of Sinusitis for the past few weeks, in fact since Mugello! It's now chronic and I'm on antibiotics all over Christmas...awww:( .

[GrizzlyHippo]

Hi Gerry,

I'm interested in the Mugello trip but I'm really looking for an interesting trip to do in September/October. We were supposed to be riding down to Estoril for some trackdays and then riding back, but it's now been moved to May and I have some big work commitments in May and June. So, maybe to Mugello and please let me know if you have anything 'interesting' available to do in September/October.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Racedays are running 3 days at Rijeka on September 28-30th and 3 days at Jerez on November 16-18th. Both are only £799 and include bike transport and hotel (Jerez highly recommended!!)

More info on the racedays.net website I expect ;)

GUTTED!!!! I`ve booked my flight and everything!!!

And I may have to cancel......Anyone fancy my spot???

I`ll confirm in the morning.

[GrizzlyHippo]

VanDaMauler, sorry to hear that. Richard at Louigi Moto now wants to go – I'm not sure if he's got a place already, but if you can't make it give him a call on 01761 453366

Tom

[racedays]

Blimey, go away for a week and everyone's leaving...Seriously though - genuine reasons all round by all accounts and I'm sure we'll find substitutes. We're still receiving enquiries about this event and having just returned from the new Guadix - lengthened and widened (!) we could easily run 60 bikes at this event (DD/DSC only). We've originally planned it based on a truck load of bikes - 40, but we have extra capacity now so I'd like to hear everyone's views on this. Any extra revenue could be used to provide lunch at the circuit for everyone and we could still run an open pit lane with loads of space on track.

New turn 4 at Guadix will become famous - it's Valencias fast final left done right :)

Happy New Year by the way!

G

[GrizzlyHippo]

Gerry, if you allowed 60 places how many bikes would you propose being on track at the same time?

Cheers,
Tom

[racedays]

Tom, it was just an enquiry. Far too emotive a subject so we will stick with the original.

Thanks, G

quick question, without having to trail through every single page of this thread...

are there still places available?

I know i've just come on board with the forum, but i am making serious enquiries about joining all you nutters in DD, this coming season...

as discussed in depth on another thread, 3 days track time getting to know the bike, my abilities (& limits thereof) & set up could prove invaluable to a newbie like me!

+ i'd also get a good idea of what i'm letting myself in for!

Hi Phil,

Your best bet is to email Gerry from www.racedays.net as he is organising it. His email addy is racedays@hotmail.co.uk

I'm not sure if it may be full (again) but people do drop out, so get your name down either way.

It's £450 which includes insured bike transport to and from Gaudix (you need to drop bike off at Downham Market or pay for a collection/delivery). You get 4 nights in a hotel and the 3 days on track. You just need to get yourself there. About £60 with a budget airline.

You won't get 3 days on a foreign track for anywhere near this money, Gerry's doing it at cost for us!!

Cheers

P.S. we will have to share as i think im not allowed to hire a car in spain till your 25 and im only 22.

[tiamo69]

Just in case any other 'newbies' are interested...

The trip is 'officially' full again, but as Dom advised, i've put my name down on the reserve list, cos circumstances will change for some peeps...

So, who knows...

As i've only done 1 track day before, i would love to join you guys in Espana, especially as it is looking increasingly likely that my ugly mug will be making an appearance in this year's DD Series! :cool:
(not that anyone will ever see it, probably only my arse... when come up to lap me!)

Can't believe what good value this trip is!

I initially looked at putting my 'track day' toe in the water 2 years ago & was looking at 3 days in Brno for a lot more than this!

So come on, drop out, the lot of ya! :roll: :rolleyes: ;)

[domski]

Can't believe what good value this trip is!

You're dead right!!

It's AMAZING value.

Dear All, have just logged on to find billions of PMs about Guadix. Please address all enquiries to info@racedays.net to be sure of getting a reply! Also we are still awaiting the return of the majority of the hotel and tyre forms. If we haven't received the form we will assign the rooms arbitrarily. And finally, very few of the returned forms have requested tyres. 3 days is a long time on what is now a quite grippy/abrasive circuit. We will not be holding a stock of tyres so please be sure you will have enough rubber!..

Thanks G

[tiamo69]

so please be sure you will have enough rubber!..

you can never have enough rubber/s! :o :rolleyes: :lol: :roll:

Ti

PS: yeah, sent email to info@racedays & got myself put on the 'reserve', reserve list!

I've attached the Word doc for anyone who needs it.

[dickieducati]

[tiamo69]

my cunning plan is working...

just need a few more to drop out & bump me up that 'reserve' list!

& this one doesn't involve any rats!:D

Dickie - replied to your PM...

[Dibble]

sorry to hear that ...

[tiamo69]

i've just been contacted by Racedays.... :D

now just got to let missus know!:( :eek:
(although, did pre-warn her!)

cheers, Phil

Nice one Phil :D

[tiamo69]

Unfortunately, i will not now be able to join you all in Guadix. Gutted :(

I've spoken to the guys that I'll be racing with & they have confirmed that the bike will not be ready for race testing before March.

Therefore, with regret, it would not be worth me going to Guadix. Although the track time would be immensely useful to me as an in-experienced rider, it wouldn't be very beneficial, without being able to get to grips with the actual bike I'll be riding (testing settings etc).

As my adopted motto goes... Ce Sera, Sera!

Anyone still interested in going should contact 'Racedays' & 'dickieducati'....Enjoy!

See you all at the meeting on the 10th.

Phil

[ducati dad]

I am sure that allthegearnoidea was up for this.

[TP]

Gerry @ Racedays is running a reserve list. I'm sure there's people still on it queued up ready to go.

[final_edition]

Anyone had info on the delivery/drop off dates for the bikes?

[domski]

You will be contacted shortly :)

[Rattler]

Is this with Tracksense???? ;)

[final_edition]

:lol:

[domski]

Is this with Tracksense???? ;)

No, this is the snowy cheap one :rodent:

[Rattler]

No, this is the snowy cheap one :rodent:

Oh, with the **** instruction and poor mechanics :cool:

[racedays]

No, this is the one where everyone makes their minds up, and sticks to it. Gets their hotel and tyre requests in on time and actually reads the part on our website that says 'full instructions will be issued 4 weeks prior to the event'. :D

Holly from Motofreight, whose job it is, will be contacting everyone individually this week to arrange your particular transport requests.

I'm sooooo looking forward to this!! Seriously - it's gonna be great fun!;)

[multi600]

I got the phone call tonight transport now sorted:D :D :D

[racedays]

I've been thinking how we can pad the 3 days out (when we're not building igloos or feeling sad because our instructors are just like, so not the best, sniff...and I thought riding in GPs and WSB meant you were quite good..:confused: .) Anyhow, Iain Waine - our regular 'alrightish - but gutted not to be the best' mechanical assistant is going to come up and take care of our vid cam bike. As long as everyone's happy to put into a kitty to cover the costs Iain should be able to get an individual vid of everyone in actiono! Which will be nice! He's raced IOM, MRO, British and the NW200 and has been known to give Mike 'Spike' Edwards a run - so he's fairly competent on a bike! May have trouble staying with Dom though...

And following up on a previous thread we should be able to run a few sessions with practice starts for those who would like to. This would be particularly handy for any Novice racers as you'll be able to get the real 'first corner' experience. Parp. If we've got our new GPS Dataloggers we'll get them into action as well. Wow, the scrap books will be bulging!

And finally, a brief Geography numba! Cartagena is generally regarded as the warmest track in Spain due to it's proximity to the sea. Almeria is probably the driest but is higher = cooler. Guadix is about a whole 500 ft higher than Almeria I think = 1 degree cooler and at about 45 minutes distance isn't exactly in a different weather zone! Bring a jumper and sunblock!

[tiamo69]

Gerry, stop trying to tempt me to change my mind! ;)

would love to use the datalogger

[rich-racing.co.uk]

I have a friend who is retired, but into bikes and would like to come along for a jolly, but don't know whether it's going to be boring for him during the day when we're on track.
any other peeps going to watch???

what are the facilities like there - is there a cafe, bar, somewhere to thaw out etc?





:lol:

[racedays]

No Cafe I'm afraid, just a coffee machine at the moment - the viewings pretty good from the roof terrace though and he can get onto the perimeter road okay to watch the fast bits.

[domski]

Is it next to the motorway then? :lol:

[racedays]

Of course, life in that part of Spain revolves around the Motorway. Pubs, restaurants, hotels - everything else is, well scarily empty. Bring your compasses and don't turn the wrong way out of the track if it's a full moon!

[domski]

Which way is the wrong way??? :o

Eric,

Dickie has cancelled, no cars organised as yet, I think there are seven of us on those flights so I guess we either need to sort 2 cars or a people carrier ...

[ericthered40]

2 cars, 1 people carrier ? 7 donkey's just get me there. I need to see if I'm still as **** as last year :confused:

I know we are allowed to load a kit bag with our bikes, however, are we allowed to take the large ones that you can fit a small housing estate in?
ie. 36"x18"x18":D

[Rattler]

I think that the wording should be - "as long as you don't take the pizz"

[domski]

Well, my kit bag contains...

1x Race suit
1x Helmet
1x Boots
1x Gloves
1x Back protector
1x Jonny Suit
1x Under suit
2x Rash vests
4x Tees
2x Towels
1x Transponder
3x Visors
4x Undercrackers
5x Pairs socks
2x Hoodies
1x Jeans
2x Shorts (optimistic)

...and I still had room for more stuff - I just don't have more stuff :(

It's a big Alpinestars kit bag, and I can't imagine many bags that would be bigger. You'd struggle to lift them.

So don't worry about the size of your sack too much ;)

:)

[ericthered40]

Wise to take the lube and Vaseline in your hand luggage.;)
