ok, so far I have had 4 confirmations ...

those being Dave Harris, Red Leader, Henners, TP-996 ...

So doors currently open for Dickie & Loz as they were on the original list ..

Loz & Dickie, need to know asap or I'll slot MW or Electricsheep in ....

CK, I'm not putting 12 on my credit card .. lol

dibs, i'm still working on the missus, so to speak, so let someone else jump in on the first 7 i'm sure we will fill another 7 easilly.

OK, so far I have the following commitments ...

Dave Harris, TP-996, MW, Henners & Red-Leader.

I need to give Loz the courtesy of a bit of time as i don't think he's seen the thread yet BUT he needs to hurry up, so if anyone is in touch with him, tell him, as Electricsheep has made me aware he has funds waiting .......

Electric, dont worry, I doubt there will be a struggle to get the next 7, just someone will need to take the lead on it ...

Dibs! Am I too late? I'm up for this!

Loz,

U have a u2u ...

You're in .....

So our seven are TP996, Henners, Red Leader, MW, Dave Harris, you and me ...

now whos going to pick me up ... lol ....

Should that not read "now whos going to pick me up out of the gravel" :frog:

No, I'm really not. I much prefer Silverstone GP or Donny. Brands is a 4 wheel circuit, IMHO. Bikes or lost out there, as far as I'm concerned. It's absolutely not tempting for my style of riding. :P:P

Cheers, mate.

u2u and email on their way!

:sing:

Lads,

You all have an email as APex require some extra info.

If someone is organising a 2nd 7 please keep WebbyC in the loop as having spoken to him this morning he may well be keen ...

Well there are 4 Cadwell dates to choose from or Rockingham - have a look at the dates on the site. We couldn't get Donington, the noise restriction was too low. But maybe next year, eh. we'll be looking at more different tracks. And so many people are jumping at the GP, come to Cadwell! I love it.

Dude, I can't find that mail. Can you pop up on msn?

Just wanted to post a few thoughts I had today about why I possibly didn't get the best buzz from Brands GP.

1. I had new tyres on so was cautious to start.
2. I hadn't so much as glanced at a track guide so I had no idea what it would be like.
3. I hadn't started the day with the usual huge adrenalin rush, or even much sense of anticipation. It was all a bit of an afterthought to join in because I actually went along to spectate.
4. I have a goldfish mentality. If it takes more than a couple of minutes to get round a track, it takes me a good few sessions to get used to it.
5. I had a bloke from CSS following me for the first session. He then proceeded to destroy what confidence I had that day by telling me there were at least 6 things I was doing wrong. And the b@stard would only tell me one of them. I still don't know what the other 5 are and it's bugged me ever since.

So it's possible that these factors have influenced my opinion of the track overall. That doesn't mean I want to book again. Not until I know Cadwell, Donny, Silverstone and a few others that people have suggested, like the back of my hand, but one day, maybe. ;)

And I'm up for trying the Indy track in October, as it is handy to go somewhere close. That should be fun. :bouncy:

Ruth, as you know I am a fan of CSS, but anyone who breaks someones confidence is an arse, I don't care who they are or what school they work at. Hope you have a better time at Brands next time you decide to visit.

Ruth,
years ago I did a track day with mcn at brands and the css instructors were doing 3 laps with you for 25.00 and at the end giving you advice. My instructor that day who shall remain nameless said to me ' dont you think you would go quicker if you look where your going' that was all he said.
It was not untill I did level 2 that I realised I was not looking through the bend properly and at that point his apparently flippant remark made sense.
I think the instructors sometimes make comments out of a school enviroment that without andys classroom sesions apear to be flippant or confusing. the other point is that at the css they only work on one point at a time, each session is devoted to one skill, again in the school enviroment this would have been explained by andy!

on a brighter note if you were only doing 6 things wrong you are a lot better than most riders who have to be shown every seperate skill, in my case some of them repeatedly!!

Lads, all addresses collated, Apex paid this morning ..............

Kev Red Leader has an address now? Wonders'll never cease!

:lol: ;)

I know I have one to many red wines when the replies dont seem to make sense to me.
If it looks the same in the morning can you let me know where I am going wrong Loz !
K

Sorry, Kev, I was thinking you live in a caravan ... my mistake
:D ;)

Anybody else going want to make up a second group, I'll check with da'boss see if I can make it :devil:

not for me thanks, couldnt justify the expense and so far every trcakday I have had (bar DSC cadders) its rained and I have hardly ridden! May come along to watch tho, depending on commitments

Come on Bradders, get with the beat, You know you want to and with a choice of bikes it would be rude not to !
K

I have decided to follow in Dibble's footsteps and arrange the next group of seven.

Anyone interested please send me a U2U with your real name, which group you want and a commitment that you will get me your payment by the end of February at the latest. As soon as I have a group of seven I will book the places on my credit card.

Rob

Paid up DSC memebers.

2 places confirmed so only 5 more to go and I will buy the tickets

You have a u2u ,Mr Sheep - Been on the indy ,fancy the G.P.

Thanks

Second group so far

Rob

Hi Guys

Just a quick note that we have already had one group of seven DSC members book, we have agreed that we will allow up to 49 places to the DSC with this offer........that means up to 6 more groups can book.

We are asking that one person takes charge of the organisation for the 6 group members and collects all the money etc, and then we debit one credit card with the amount equivalent to 6 riders and allocate 7 places. We do ask that you include name, address, tel, e-mail address, ability group and an idea of the type of bike you will be using.

Lunch is included, and since its American Independance Day a USA stylee BBQ will be organised.

You should also be aware that we have booked SUNSHINE for bradders:D

I did not notice the 4 groups part of Henners post.

rin_sun could you post an explaination of how this works ?

Thanks
Rob



[Edited on 10-2-2005 by electricsheep]

Apex are running 4 groups on this trackday

I have called to check how this works. The groups will be Novice, Inters, Fast and ACU.
The sessions will start at 9:00. Given 1 hour for lunch that should work out at 5 sessions for the day

I think still think that this is good value for Brands GP in the summer.
