Cheeky Brands Indy anyone?
 

I wouldn't mind a run out at Brands Indy if anyone fancy's it.

Ideally I'd want to do it in March, but not after the 18th or so or April after the 12th or thereabouts (Bike is going to Spain and back). Although I'm doing Cadwell on the 23rd of April and DD round 1 is the weekend after!

So, who's up for it??

:frog:

So it's not one of their pace days or something? Just a standard track day?

Do they let CSS students in? :frog:

Might be tempted with an early April one?

Early March is just that - "early" - bit too early to be mincing around a UK track I reckon.

Its alright for the hardened Northern soles (that's Britain not hemisphere!!!) who are used to "bein downt pit" or "getting op before gowin t'bed" etc, etc.. but for a soft southern, handbag swinging, shandy drinkin' bastid like me - its Southern Spain in March for me!!!!

Tim:ninja:

Dickie and I are looking at doing Brands on Good Friday. Has the advantage of not needing to take a day off work

Rob

Tim you only run your bike in BST don't you?

Plus I don't think he has enough staff until then.... Tyre warmers sir? Paddock stand sir? Chain lube sir? Earl grey sir?

BST = bloody slow times !!! - you're right ;) ;)

early april a deffo possibility, early March, unlikely my bike will be in residence ....

JPM, get yer arse down south, stay at Chez Dibble and do Brands ...... you know you want to ... stop playing on those kiddies circuits up north, come and do a real one .......

Going to those northern circuits must be the equivalent of having a slot car racing game that ISN'T scalectrix .....

April too early is not good, I'll be in Spain 1,2, and 3 of April and the bike won't get back here until a week after that.

South?

South?

Brands?

Scalectrix?

Hmmmm..... I'm guessing I'd have to get the bike sorted for that smog down there...

Alternatively you could get yer arse up north for a REAL MAN's track! March 19th Springs to mind :D

Whippet racing does not count.

......Don't you have a go at my whippets!

Now we're getting personal ! :flame:




:lol:

Hope to meet some of you there (or this Sunday Feb 20th at Silverstone Nat'l with 100%bikes - thanks to rattler again for the spindle!)

Ciao

I've just booked myself on the ESS Sports Day on the 4th April.

Weeksy - are you booked into the March 4th event?

I gonna try and sneek a Cadwell in late March too.

Then I've spent enough pre-season money!!!!;)

Right, I'm looking to do Brands Indy with Focussed Events on Good Friday with Dickie and Rob (e-sheep).

Anyone else up for it? fil2?

I've cleared it with the CSS Rob, just need to sort out some more logistics - you have a u2u.

Might well do ... what was the cost for Good Friday (and what date is it!!)

March 25, £125.

If you give me a ring I'll pop round and wipe your backside for you too!

:lol:

Sounds good - the trackday I mean, not the arse wiping bit.

;)

hmmmm, might have to book that .....

Get in there my son!

Bolux - I was quite happy looking at Cadwell for Good Friday and you have to throw that in!!!

I do need to practice Cadwell though, but Brands is a lot closer!!!

Buga!!!!:cool:

Do Brands that day, then do Cadwell on April 23 (Sat) with me and Dickie.

You know you want to ;)

and includes a "night before" curry in exchange for van space .... lol

Nah - Saturday's are out - family responsibilities, I've already had to re-arrange a few weekends this year though.

I am doing the ESS at Brands on April 4th - might have to go and see WJB at Cadwell on Good Friday then.

Dibbs - I'm no longer a man with a van, I've got a bank loan to get a trailer and tow-bar.

This racing milarkey is costing me a fortune !!!! ;) I'll have to sell the Picasso :o:o:o

oh well .... anyhow, if u ever need "night before" accomodation for Brands just shout mate, you've helped me out enough in the past .... :D

I am booking tomorrow my slot tomorrow.

Rob

If you book it up Dibs you can have a spot in my van for a curry no problems :D

Nice one :D

I was going to try for celebrating good friday at cadwell.

What d'you reckon tim - inters or fast for the monnies??

Fast baby yeh!!!!

You deffo up for this then?

If so, I'll be seeing you there!!!

Tim:frog:

more than likely, but fast group on a m620? are you serious??
Or are you taking the zx and just baiting me!!

No way - I'm taking the 620 and proud of it - they may take me down the straights, but come the glorious gooseneck - I'll embarrass the hell out of 'em. - Yeh baby!!!

The ZX is only for Spain - I'm gonna put it back to standard in March I reckon and flog it - I just can't see myself using it at all. This DD stuff is real addictive!!! How can I justify using the ZX on the tracks when there's DD to practice for????;)

I'm gonna book Cadders up tomorrow then I reckon - you?

Tim:frog:

yeah sod it, i'll get the credit card out.
it's going to be inters in the morning tho, but hopfully space to move up (or down!) in the afty.

I thought this thread was about Brands indy ?
I'm gettng a lttle concerned about your memory Tim!!!!!:P

You'll be fine in the fast group - well, as fine as I'll be!!!! I've gotta get used to people overtaking me at Cadwell;)

I'm deffo going in fast, faint heart never facked a pig you know!!!

Jon - it was about Brands, but I've become a thread hijacker these days - haven't you noticed!!!! ;)

Tim:frog:

Oh yeh - it'll also be my first ride on the Monnie - I've so far covered a total of around 30 yards and have not been out of first!!! I hope that second gear works!!!;)

[Edited on 22-2-2005 by Rattler]

Some would say I'm easily persuaded...
ok ok, good friday/ cadwell/fast group/m620 :o

Shall we call it Round 1? :lol:
