DSC Trackday 2013 - The Poll !
 

Following on from threads on the board and also the article in the latest edition of Pronto magazine, we'd like to know if you will actually attend a trackday if we organise one this year? Low attendance over previous years mean that it appears the membership are not particularly bothered?

Is it the location? Price? Date? Everything? Something else? Please vote in this poll - which is only the first round poll - so we can decide if you want to have a trackday at all!

Come on guys, keep voting!

Trackday
 

I voted yes Ant, the only proviso is that I will be in France from 18th June until the 26th July-following the Tour de France.
Tough job-but someone has to do it...............

I think i´m late for this poll but anyway...

I am a newbie around here, but as i am (hopefully) moving to UK in a moth or so, i would definitely attend any Ducati event in Britain, depending of the cost and place.

But count me in! ;)

Any ideas Yet Ant?

Ducati UK have announced their first trackday for the year:
http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...d.php?t=192573

I'm interested to know if you guys would rather attend these events, or if you would still prefer a "DSC" organised day for whatever reason - price, location, tdo, etc?

In terms of votes, 5 definites and 26 maybes doesn't make a trackday unfortunately as it's about a third of the number we'd need!

I have some other options, which I will need to go away and plan, but you guys are welcome to discuss in the mean time...

Must admit I dont like the idea of the 1st session being grouped in mixed ability, with transponders, to sort out lap times and then put in to slow, medium and fast groups. This is not a trackday.

The risk of accidents with mixed ability/speed groups is well known and something I wouldn't participate in.

The last time I did a track day with FE, albeit a weekender, they still ran 3 groups, novice, inters, fast, and then after the first day they posted what groups you would be in the next day.

I imagine it would be like this but on a quicker scale. Ie after the first session they would jiggle the groups about.

Though I have been wrong about many things so this could well be another.

I don't know how they do it, but if they let you book the normal novice/inter/fast then time each group that will get the sharks out of the slower groups and the wana be's out of the fast group. Makes sense to me.

To be fair, its not cheap, would rather do 2 days at Cadwell for that price, may be we should get together with Slob and sort a joint trackday at Cadwell, and with this weather, maybe late July, early August would be ideal :)

But you wouldn't Chris, not old DSC days anyway from what I remeber for cost, especially summer months

Shame you cant get enough. With a club the size of DSC joining with other clubs must be the way forward. Was always a great 1st track experience :(

I am meeting Rob at the weekend and this will be a topic of conversation.

I'm just disappointed that we send out 300-ish club magazines but got 31 responses on the forum!

Perhaps you should email every forum member of the peeps registered on this site and even try on the 1199.com site and others...there are more like me who would be interested!! (Perhaps)

1199.com? Which site is that? a Panigale site? could you give me the whole name to find it? ;)

There will probably be some at ukmonster that would be interested (unless this is the Rob you meant and I am sure he will tell you the same)

Yes, that is the Rob that I meant, and we did have a good chat at the weekend, and we have some plans that will be unveiled soon.

Over the last couple of years we have done this and yet still only manage to get 35-40 people to attend the trackday!

:) :D :)


Chris:burn:

Big announcement coming soon!

Preliminary announcement:
http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...d.php?p=765204

(link for Club members only at this point in time!)

Ar cant access as I'm not a member and therefore cant see if its something worth joining for :)

Sure its really exciting

Or re-joining:rolleyes:

I'm sure both of you would have re-joined by now if you'd wanted to!

You've missed out on tickets and hospitality for Brands BSB, you've missed out on tickets and hospitality for Oulton BSB, you'll miss out on more of the same as well as the trackday!

Don't worry, you'll get to find out soon enough ;)

about this DOC registering. :)... I am having a problem finding DSC on the Ducati Site. Probably just me... So can anyone help me?

First time in years any value for membership...sniping aside sticking an event which may make new peolpe join (not me) seems a tad short sighted

I think you're reading more into it than you realise, as this event is not just for members!

All we've done is release preliminary details to Club members first so they can make arrangements and be aware of what the Club is planning before non-members.

If you're registered we can "claim" you, so I will sort this out.

Ducati have been slow to update their database of Clubs (DSC, SDC and UKMOC are all missing atm!) due to a new process this year, but we are chasing behind the scenes.

Cool :)

Found and claimed for the DSC :D
