Well its not going to effect you Neil

At A guess I would say it doesn't, bit hard to be in a class room and out on track at the same time.
But it may be possible for some to do the course and half a trackday.

Seem to remember now something about No Limits taking on Hottrax's existing TD's after they decided to concentrate on racing.

Also suprised this year at the same Feb TD that it was full, even though they had to de-ice the track until gone 10am.

Hey Kev are you gonna convince Dallas to do C1 with me? be right up his street.

[steeevvvooo]

seems cheap (or maybe I was ripped off?)! I was doing a trackday with MSV, and saw I could do the ACU test for £99.

Classroom session and test at lunch (run by a certain Mr Cobby!) then a few observed laps afterwards.

More chance of him Doing Moto Grande on a Blade

He's already raced a 916 Strada, a 748RS, a 996 (semi RS) and the ex Buildbase 1098 all in Sound of Thunder, apart from the 1098 he either crashed or otherwise failed to finish so failed to get signatures on his Licence.

He likes fast bikes but has been around long enough to know that DD offers racing as good and close as any other class

steeevvvooo ACU test does not requier any track time, so guess you were paying for track time, the actual ACU test is about an hour in the classroom with multiple choice answers to a list of about ten questions as they said when i took mine, "no one has failed yet"

pmsl

[Bionicle]

Ha Ha Ha :) who rattled your cage Kev :)

[steeevvvooo]

hmmm, think the MSV thing was a bit misleading then! I was at Brands for the trackday anyway, so thought £99 to do ACU test while I was there seemed ok.

To be fair, by the time I would have traveled to take the test another day, it's probably worth it for the convenience factor.

Still... I hate feeling like I've been ripped off :eek: :mad:

[Cranker V2]

Hmmm..............you've been MSV'd! :o

A bit like a Jeremy Beadle show, but they use the whole hand to shaft you.

[steeevvvooo]

ha, thought so! :( At least I can justify the petrol saving from not having to go anywhere else I suppose

Steve don't worry about it we all seem to get ripped off at the mo.

My ACU licence renew has just got kicked back because my last eye test was more than 3 years ago. No problem I thought, so off to my local optitions I went on Friday evening for a re-test. All is fine Mr Appleby apart from a touch of colour blindness however, as you have requested that we fill out and stamp your ACU licence form we had to do and extra test which is an additional £10 so £37.50 in total.
What additional test?
I had to pay the lady and like it. :mad:

Grrrrr, just had my form returned too even though the last test was mid 2009, so phoned 8 local opticians explaining to each that I wanted a "simple confrontation visual field test" as per the acu form, this is the test where you read the diminishing letters off the chart. Every one of them was up for the confrontation bit, but they all insisted they could only do a full "automated perimetry test" even though the form states this is not required, blathering on about how they could be sued if there was something wrong with an eye.

What they want to to do is flog specs, its like taking the car to a garage with a workshop for its MOT!!

Maybe the acu could make a commercial arrangment with "should have gone to.." and send out a voucher with there licence rejection so the, what 5000? peeps/year get a chart test, 10mins tops, for say £15 including filling in the form.

Grrr this weather is turning me into a grumpy old whatsit. boo:mad:

1 month to the off, hurray:)
