I've an almost brand new set of spidi leathers for sale. White, blue and black. Pm if you want more info.

See on the Hottrax entry forms it says Normal Entry £225. Additional Entry £95.

Whats the £95 for?

To race in another class aswell as DD on the same weekend

Do people do that?

Just putting a budget together for the season.

Is the track day that happens before the racing, I was told normally on the Friday night, included in the entry fee?

some do, I'm hoping to at Pembrey...


no, that's extra. I recon about £500 for a weekend, incl petrol tyres and stuff, some are a bit less and some are a bit more. but I try never to work out exactly how much I've spent in case the wife finds out.

Good point Matt, learn to be very evasive and non comittal if the wife ever asks how much this is costing. You can't put a price on living the dream!

I never work out how much it costs just in case I find out!!!! :lol:

I worked it out last night. It was alarming!

I don't work it out so when the wife asks what this season has cost I can honestly say I don't know.

[quote=mat2hew]some do, I'm hoping to at Pembrey...

What class matt?? .. was thinking i might too .. funds permitting

that would be the

[Parkitt Modern Classics with MJW Digital Art/Formula 400/Maxitwin]

I think we would be in class F400 even if the old Jap 400s are lighter and more powerful :(

I'm expecting my awesomeness will balance things out.

I think a few other DDers have had a go in this class.

whats the smallest van you can fit a bike in?

One that's got an accessable cavity just a touch wider, higher and longer than your bike. :p









You'll get used to the stupidity and sarcasm in time.

depends how many pieces it's in-
realistically can get bikes in a citroen dispatch/ fiat scudo/ but not great comfort for camping- next up and cheapish is merc vito

having used a dispatch and moved to vw lt35/ merc sprinter hitop mwb have to say for me the extra comfort/ space well worth having- but i do use my van for work and everything else too- got 38mpg citroen /32mpg lt35

if yr ok with spannering and don't mind going slow £800- £1.5k will get you plenty of choices- a mate of mine in s.wales has couple asstd cheap vans to sell at moment

I quite like the transit connect, lwb although I think you can fit it in the swb but you'd have to check...

the benifit of buying a ford is that you will make race meetings rather than breaking down on the way like you would with anything french...

are you going to Pembrey Badger?

or 1 twice the width and half the length if you fold it in half

i wouldn't tempt fate if i was you-
i never had any trouble with my old renault 4 van as long as i kept the elastic band wound properly (apart from a rear radius arm parting with the chassis and it still drove then held on by just the tortion bar)

Yeh, had a load of arse and mither from work cos I'd cancelled my holiday so had to arrange a shift swap tho.

Even ended up signing on for half a track day with Mr Allen!

awesome

Cheeky practice, must really want 3rd ;)

Ooooooooooo ... fighting talk

love it.... :)

Simon texted me earlier, "do you think you stand a chance of winning now DWJ isn't coming?" if he was standing in front of me i'd have punched him on the nose.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Well done simon .. Just made me spit my tea laughing

you'll have some competition tho matt

not only have i cleaned my bike and oiled the chain (worth 15 bhp)

But having learned the circuit via the ghost cam i know all the lefts from the rights so i will be going for it right from the off!!!!!!!

What could possibly go wrong

Probably the hairpin, just like it did for Ghost every lap :devil:

You don't need a van, it'll go in the back of a car or in the front of a caravan

It worked, and I managed a spot of payback! ;)



Anyway, sez Mr I'm not too bothered about practice I'll just enter an extra race! :D

Some idiot could dive up the inside an push you onto the grass. :eek:

I thought it was a fair question!

now I'm awesome again I always think I'm going to win.... Just sometimes things don't always go to plan.

Did you manage to get in your front door?!!

a big head comes with Awesomenessness.

Ha ha .. All good fun

Can I have the arm from my leathers back tho .. I think it's still stuck in your back wheel :lol:

I didn't care anyway .. Once I found out you'd robbed Andy B of glory

Oooh, you nasty man!

I did feel a tad guilty when it twigged that I'd snatched 3rd back off him.





For about 4 or 5 seconds.

Told you they were LUCKY wheels Scott.

Not just luck like I said scott fast wheels
But dont think we'll be scrubbing tyres in for you next season :lol:

Thanks again chaps but I don't have any plans on gobbing a sumpfull of 10/40 all over my own wheels next year! :eek:

10/40 ain't any good mate..........
