Technically Steve, I believe you have to upgrade to the clubmans licence.

You can have the correct number of sigs but you are still the holder of an intermediate/restricted Novice licence, as such the bib has to stay. Unless I am mistaken and that has happened before..............a lot. :D

I put down 3 for each day,, I didn't now what I was doing really :] Still, all the practice should help abit, Shouldn't it?

i've just filled out my form for anglesey and i've opted for all 3 on saturday and sunday, less time to sit around and play with the bike and hopefully a good way towards loosing the orange vest!:eek:

In this case I believe you are correct Phil

I haven't entered Angelsey, but the money saved is going to be put to good use.
My 19 year old VW van failed its MOT and although it would only cost about £300 to £400 to sort it, i have decided to replace it and adding the money saved by not entering Angelsey has given me half the money towards the 1999 Fiat Ducato van that I won on Ebay this morning.
Once I have picked the Fiat up I have to see what I can transfer from the old van to the new one in the way of the wheel rack and storage boxes, I may even have to start from scratch. at least I should have it sorted in time for following round at Snetterton

that's a shame Kev as I think you would have enjoyed it, but I know what you mean as we need to lavish some cash on the van. We are slightly lucky in being 'relatively' close to Anglesey so it's one of a the few rounds we will be doing.

WWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT !!!!!! - Skids not at a DD round - surely shome mishtake !!!

Is this a first???? ;)

Angelsey would have been about a 6 hour trip each way in my old van and would have cost £120 to £130 in Diesel as its a old 6 cylinder guzzeler.

And as I haven't been to Angelsey before and knowing a few of my competion have I would have been looking at doing 3 races each day including the allcomers to help get the extra track time to bring me up to speed so was looking at entry fees and race fuel in the order of £300.

As I said before the season started I would have to limit my racing this year to try and put some money aside for when my place of work closes in March 2010, although the reduction in mortgage payments has helped with the amount of racing I can do within a tighter budget I am now having to use some of the put away money to replace the van.

Still I'm looking forward to doing both days at Snetterton where I am hoping recent changes to the bike will result in improved performance :)

The bike is back together and running again and as soon as I finish adapting a USB Powercommander and test it I will be looking at getting the bike tested either on track or on a Dyno for which I need a van for transporting it.
To see if I have improved on its 55bhp as measured at Donny by improving its Air/fuel ratio from the Donny measured 10.4 to 1 to something around 12.6 to 1
I have invested in an Air/fuel meter and Lambda probe that I hope to get fitted. I have set the TPS and hopefully the powercommander will allow me to fine tune the mix to get the best results.

At least I'm not having to rush to have the bike ready for Anagelsey and i'm looking forward to Snetterton as the trip up and back should be more comfortable/enjoyable in a more modern van (power assisted steering, that'll be nice) and then hopefull have a better bike to ride when I get there :)

Over the previous 4 years I have missed one Snetterton meeting, the first year at Assen (Did Minitwins at cadwell instead) and pulled out of Donny after I had entered two races and then they changed it to one longer race after I had sent the entry in. I think thats about it over the years of DD.
