you can do the course on either the saturday or sunday. and they are also running acu testing on the same days.

so if you do the course on the saturday you can test on the sunday and vis versa.

Senna3 is doing the school at Pembrey with North Glos race club who are certified to run the ACU training. He has to pay £18 to join North Glos, £50 for the school that is run on the Saturday, then he gets the Sunday practice day for £60. So a total of £128, bit more than going to Rugby, but no day off needed and he gets tracktime on a track he has already done a trackday on.

yes the weekend day and the fact that you learn stuff about how a race day runs, scruitineering etc and also learn about 'racing manouvers' swung it for me. you also get to practice grid starts and the like.

I'll book for the Saturday, but I'm not sure what state the 600 will be in by then so it might have to be the SL. It's a shame as Snet was my first TD and I'd love to try and beat my best SL lap time on the SS.....

Taking days off is not really an option so weekends are a much better bet, plus all the benefits Dickie listed. Should be a top laugh, bloody cold, but definitely a laugh!

Not the 999! You should really bring something faster than my SL....

I hope to take the 600, just depends on how quickly DLS get my belts, filters, etc to me, and whether I can find some sort of bikini fairing by then.

As for keeping the beast secret, it's only a wee 583.... not some methanol-feulled, nitrous-injected, fire-breathing 620 like yours...
