Can ordinary DSCers join in with the 'trackday' bit or do they have to be part of the DD lot?

I don't especially want to get out there with those nutters from the DD but I would like a foreign track trip at the beginning of next season, and this sounds like very good value.

I'm looking for the following terms:-

1. If I have to ride with the DDers, they all promise (in writing) not to scare the bejeezus out of me
2. In return, I promise to try not to be a mobile chicane
3. I'd prefer to share a room with a girlie, or pay a reasonable single room supplement
4. If 1 - 3 are satisfied, and it doesn't clash with my skiing holiday (which is supposed to be over Easter), I'd like to come, please :)

racedays 12-Oct-2006 20:59

Hi Ruth, it's really up to the DD guys how they would want to run it but with 40 riders having the whole track to themselves for 3 days you could easily run 2 or 3 groups and have quality tracktime. The hotel is very reasonable if you would like a single room, but I'm sure there must be some other Ducati lady riders would wish to attend.

Skiing wise - cancel Easter and get up to the Sierra Nevada after the trackday. Its great skiing, although pretty high (10,000 ft) and the atmosphere is top (no pun intended). Zero Germans = No hassle at the lifts! Boarding is excellent as they have a full on board park - half pipes and biiiig jumps. (Which J.McW fell off ha!) This is actually the only reason I'm doing all this -so I can sneak off for a play! It's cheap as well.

Re - earlier question on committment (eek) - £100 refundable deposit until 15 December on a credit card will do it. If there aren't enough takers then money back, nothing lost and the flights should still be cheap to book when we confirm. (obviously if we get the numbers earlier we're off!)

Thanks, Gerry

PS Video will be up any minute...right Domski>???

stevebale 12-Oct-2006 21:52

Have you had a chance to watch it yet? He does a 1.24ish and it's mental fast - near 150 on the straight, 125 through the fast flick - and Karl Harris did a 1.16!...gulp..

domski 12-Oct-2006 22:36

So I should be looking at 1:11's then?

Will there be a suspension specialist there? I'd like my new bike properly set up for me and that would seem like the ideal time. :)

Hi everyone. We've managed to secure the weekend of Sat-Mon, 24th - 25th February for this event. This is an absolutely premium weekend date - straddled by the top BSB teams so an early show of interest would be very much appreciated. Any suggestions as to how you would like this to be run would be appreciated. (we'll take care of the safety side - but it's your event so let me know which timings you would like etc.)

For the better off DD'er we can also arrange a couple of days offroading with Redtread in the Sierra Nevada directly afterwards.

Hope the date fits. Thanks G

Dominic Clegg 17-Oct-2006 14:31

This sounds fantastic, really looking forward to it now.

Anyone up for a few days skiing either the week before or after? You're so close to Sierra Nevada that you could ride the dry sessions and go boarding for the wet sessions!

Hmmmm..... tapas.....tinto......motos.....nieve.... going to be a classic :D

GUADIX - SPAIN
24th - 25th - 26th
FEBRUARY 2007


DUCATI DESMODUE/CB500 & FRIENDS

ONLY 40 PEOPLE CAN ATTEND - DON'T MISS OUT!!!

This event is being run by international trackday specialists, www.RACEDAYS.net

This is an absolutely premium weekend date - straddled by the top BSB teams so an early show of interest would be very much appreciated.

The price of JUST £450 includes;

3 days on track
4 nights in a hotel
Bike transport


All you have to do is fly out. Easyjet/Ryanair do budget flights to the area from £15!!

This has been subsidised by circuit Guadix and Racedays as part of a promotional drive following major refurbishment works at the track. It's based on only 40 riders attending so there's probably time for a RACE group and a 'trackday' group (for friends/family/sponsors etc).

CIRCUIT DETAILS HERE

DON'T JUST RIDE YOUR BIKE...

...cancel Easter and get up to the Sierra Nevada after the trackday. Its great skiing, although pretty high (10,000 ft) and the atmosphere is top (no pun intended). Boarding is excellent as they have a full on board park - half pipes and biiiig jumps. It's cheap as well.

NOT JUST TESTING & SKIING, HOW ABOUT...

A couple of days off-roading with Redtread in the Sierra Nevada directly afterwards (please ask).

SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO NEXT?

Call Gerry @ Racedays on 0049 1722 963 100

He will need a £100 refundable deposit on a credit card.

If there aren't enough takers by 15th December, you will get all your money back!

Flights will still be cheap to book (in December) if the event does go ahead.

Nice work folks :D

I've posted this on the CB500 forum now, but we're half way to filling the event already ;)

couchcommando 18-Oct-2006 19:53

Hmmmm is the 'other' group going ahead as my desmo may not be back from Italy by then and I'll have to take something else ? ;)

domski 18-Oct-2006 19:58

Well I think that if we get 30+ racers (DD/CB) then we could possibly run an open pit lane type scenario.

We're all 'family' so I'm sure everyone would trust each other and ride accordingly, don't you think?

Other wise we run a group of 25-30 race bikes and 10-15 trackday bikes???

Basically, we have 40 spaces.

It's up to you guys really - just how DD should be ;)

:lol:

:(

domski 21-Oct-2006 09:44

Anyone else up for this?

I think it would be an idea to run 2 groups - racers and trackdayers.

3 days with 2 groups will be plenty of time on track (4 hours a day each?)

What do you guys think?

couchcommando 21-Oct-2006 16:49

Thinking about it, let you know Monday :)

Rally 22-Oct-2006 18:31

I'm thinking about doing this, if I can bring the lil 748. I'd be up for a few days snow boarding too if anyone's interested. ?

Yes. And Sarah flameslinger is too, I think. I shall be talking to her about it at the dinner dance - that's next Saturday, Rally, the one you're not going to. :devil:

Dom, is this the official list or it the other thread the one to put names on?

I think that's fine Mike.

I think we should go with the idea of having 2 groups - 1 x race, 1 x trackday.

Then if we want to run as 1 group/open pit lane type thing we can.

I think 2 groups is smart. Enough room for racers and trackdayers.

As good as Ruth.

I thought that I better put a thread in the Trackdays section in case peeps don't read DD threads.

Either thread will do though :)

paynep 23-Oct-2006 10:59

I've just reserved a place but will need someone to get my bike to the pickup point - any offers please?

Or I can go halves on someone's van hire, as long as they do the driving!

Cheers, Paul

dickieducati 23-Oct-2006 11:09

has anyone got details of the hotel (pool etc) just wondering if its feasable for my girlfriend to come along?
