Very well made point John, we would definately be up **** street if we put oil all over the track!

I think we will have pit lane passes, from the conversations I have had so far.

But the SWMBO has had a change of heart!!!!!

Sold lots of 944 ss goodies........................................ and spent the afternoon down in Oxford Today ;) ;)

Are you sure this is spelt correctly Steve. :D

I remember that, you picked up a trophy :)



Ducati owners and their bikes everywhere around this neck of the woods :)

I think so Phil :D http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/

Or! I have never seen so many ducati bikes and bits in Oxford :)

At least James brought his own bits with him off some old Ex NCR 748RS thingy and as for Ratti 1 thats a Bitsa all on its own

What the Dickens is this all about? :confused:

That's what mate's are for. LOL

I hope the new dates/venues are not the final set up :( Looking forward to a start in April at Brands... Silverstone and going to Anglesey for the 1st time.

Not the Mallory Go Kart Track and then.. Mallory again!

That's the New Era calendar.
DD doesn't visit all rounds of New Era.

BSB at Brands is organised by BSB, not New Era.
DD visits Brands in addition to the New Era dates.

HTH.

Any chance of getting the full dates on a seperate locked thread :)


Chris:burn:

Things a bit clearer now but who are we with at Anglesea and Snetterton if NE aren't there?

So nothing north of Birmingham at all....two at Mallory Park....two at Cadwell....Whose decision was it to drop Angelsey ? Is it too far to travel for the southern softies to travel north just once.:confused:

Absolute shi~e:(

One 583 Class B bike FOR SALE ANYONE INTERESTED....?
__________________

Charlie You will have to ask New Era about that one

and as far as I know DD is only going to Cadwell once in 2010 and the same for Mallory.
And as the New Era website says their dates are still provisional so still subject to change

Chris its only worth doing when New Era stop announcing their dates as provisional and subject to change


Even the Snetterton date has moved forward a week

I'm hoping you all get better weather for the BSB opener than last year (4 inches of snow ring any bells !!!!!!!!!!!)

Hoping to get to a few DD rounds in '10 so fingers crossed for heatwaves.

Kev' I got the dates as posted on this forum

SUNDAY 21ST MARCH MALLORY PARK MASTER OF MALLORY
CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1

WEEKEND 17/18TH APRIL CADWELL PARK THE SPRING TROPHY
CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS 2/3

MONDAY 31ST MAY MALLORY PARK MASTER OF MALLORY
CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5

WEEKEND 2/3 OCTOBER CADWELL PARK DAVE HOLLAND MEETING

Charlie you have been around racing long enough just like me to know that at this time of year most race calendars are provisional and subject to change, the likes of NGRRC are still listing there dates as provisional and for all I know may have had to make a few alterations to the one they initially published.
New Era's calendar looks as if its altering about every 2 weeks.
Firstly they had Silverstone listed, then they didn't and then they did. there Snetterton date has changed in the latest NE publication.

Due to the proximity of the Brands BSB date and the Silverstone date to the first Cadwell date that Cadwell meeting is not on the DD calendar as it would mean 3 race meetings over 4 weekends which is to much of a financial strain for many.
As with last season the plan is for only one Mallory meeting, last year there were 3 NE Championship meetings at Mallory of which we were absent from the first and last.
Loss of Angelsey is a disapointment to many in DD including those trying to organise things and is also going to be a disapointment to the majority of NE members, why NE have had to remove the date from their provisional calendar I have no idea, but I'm fairly certain they didn't want to.

Over last Season we are
Missing, Oulton, Donington, Angelsey and a Cadwell
and have
Gained Brands & Silverstone

At this time last year NE had no Oulton or Pembrey

Thanks Kev' the mist has started to lift (too much of Mr. Smirnoff's fire water this afetrnoon/evening....maybe;)

I'll hold fire until later in January and see what happens.

Typical northerner, chips wi' everything - including both shoulders.....

That's what makes the south so good - it's not the north. ;)

Better than jellied eels and flat beer! :lol:



April 2-5th Brands Hatch - BSB meeting

April 25th Silverstone

May 8-9th Anglesey

May 31st Mallory

July 17-18th Snetterton

So how many of these dates are still correct now (subject to change)?

The current situation as far as Desmo Due rounds is

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1" ???? :lol: :o

Latest update from New Era

"2010 - A completely New Programme of Classes and Championships to be announced before Christmas.
Discussions ongoing regarding possibility of Television coverage of our championships"

And the preface to their current provisional calendar actually says

"It is a little early yet but we thought that Members would like some indication now about what we are intending to run next year"

and then go on to list the dates and venues

So New Era are still finalising things so hopefully their next announcement will give a clearer picture of race dates and venues

Did a New Era round at Mallory in March back in 2004, it was freezing over night, luckily I had my tyre warmers plugged in to the Paddock mains and strung across the inside of the van to try and take the chill off the air. The 916 was sat outside under a cover and drained of water which was later added after scrutineering.
Who said racing was fun :)

:
Similar to the 6 inch's of snow at the BSB brands round in april 2008 :)

I take it that geography wasn't one of your best subjects at school then? According to my road atlas Mallory, Cadwell and Angelsey are all north of Birmingham.

The only available track that we may wish to race at, that we are not down for is Oulton and New Era aren't going there in 2010 because of the cost of hire.

How typical of our Mr. Bushell to respond by attempting to deride another member,when he knew exactly the point I was trying to make. Also the "latest dates list", I responded to, did not include Anglesey, and thanks to Skids' it was pointed out that dropping Anglesey was a New Era decision.

BTW Chris you are quite right Cadwell and Mallory Park are further north than Birmingham by in the region of 1-2 degrees N longitude. How's that for geography ?

I also posted "tongue in cheek" hence the smiley but then Mr. Bushell will always take cheap shots at others, outside the clique, just the same as he did with Imola Duke.

I feel also that there is a clique on this site, a handful of people who may know each other socially. It seems that no one can voice an opinion without being belittled or incurring the wrath of the clique. JMHO.:devil:

Turn your map up side down It's like being in Aus :lol:

No smiley in your original post, just a rant and a :confused: and :( smilies - neither of which denote any kind of "tongue in cheek" post by any stretch of the imagination. That and the quality toy throwing (not to mention the new cheap shot of "the clique" <rollseyes> in this one) and it's all looking a bit pathetic.

Hell! you will be funding Pronto out of your own back pocket at this rate........................... :D

are you a receiver or a giver :lol:

Note the laughter bit wink wink!

Just looked at this with my Lap top upside down

http://www.itsmymotorsport.co.uk/Race_Circuits.htm

Can't say it reminds me of Aus :lol:

It would if you were there in Aus :D

Charlie

It's not worth it mate :)

You could not wish for a better bunch of people in the new era paddock
racing in DD :)

So see you in 2010 ;)

Everything looks rosey in Aus :)
