DD - spectator ride out\'s / meet up\'s
 

Just had a look at the dates on the DD website and I cant believe how well things are shaping up for a shift worker like myself.
There are only three events on, when I'm working (but one is Assen) so I have lots of scope for attending - HOPEFULLY !!!

SO...are there any planned ride out's to the events?

Likewise, are there any preferred meeting places where the DSC clan could park bikes etc at circuits?

I'm assuming the DSC marquee/Flag will be proudly displayed where the racers are based, so will be easy to spot???

For Cadwell, spectators bikes seemed to be parked near the toilet blocks at the clubhouse and a good display there was for the season opener last year.

Just one thought, helmet / backpack security - hard to do for anyone that is not 'known' to other people in the DSC I guess but, perhaps someone might have some ideas for safe storage of riders belongings, somehow???
(Sorry - brain is not quite in gear, I dont think this is practical really, especially on a race day - but I'll leave it in for the meanwhile)

Cheers - Frank

Many of the BHC lads that came to support us, used our van to store the kit in.......depending on numbers im sure the DD lads wont have objections to storing kit in the vans..i know we dont.

likewise, can use any room available in my car.

I don't have a van this year and I can't speak for anyone else but if you fancy leaving helmets and stuff in my car that's fine.

Frank,

Had a ride or two to DD last year, planning to do the same this year, probably cadwell as it's the nearest, only 100 miles away for me!!

150 or 160 for you?

Don't forget yer washers for the bridge on the way to Cadwell.

Hiya Ray - running out of petrol is always the main concern for me at Cadwell !!!

Did the first round by car last year so not an issue - you are indeed spot on, 150 miles from my front door - a nice ride out :)

Frank - I could have made a packet on Ebay with the amount of gear left in our van particularly at the Castle Coombe & also Brands meetings from members who biked in:D

Good job your an 'upright' and 'outstanding' lady then ;););)

Its just a shame circuits dont have secure storage areas, the NEC seem to be able to manage it but, I guess remote sport circuits are harder to manage anyway.

Cheers

ahh, but look a tit the other way Frank - you can wander over to some known (or unknown) DSC members who are polishing/fettling/mending their race bike, have a good natter and also leave your gear with them.
For us its also good, as it means bods do come & say 'hi' (even if they are scrounging:lol: ) as sometimes it can be difficult to leave the van for walkabouts during the day.

Its only the big meetings WSB etc that will have the 'helmet' bus etc:)

CK, are you calling our Frank a tit? That's not very nice:(


On the other hand, if it's an offer, can I have a look too :D
