I would echo Andy's comments I would much rather ride with other DSC'rs and so I think the comparison with other commercial trackdays is missing the point.
For the record I think the clubs attitude towards risk on these trackdays is excessively prudent. Surely the club is there to promote riding amongst sporting Ducati riders and we should take some chances with events. If we were really hard up and/or we didn't spend money on other expensive items it would be more understandable.
However I think John deserves major gratitude for trying to get the days off the ground. Thanks John.

its a balance 2 trackdays are do-able and the risks are manageable but who guarantees the circuits money if the club can't meet its obligations if we run 4?, would you underwirte it personally?? I know I wouldn't. There are 4 Ducati club TD"s this year with the DOC and UKMOC events at Mallory plus an additional day at Oulton it would be good to get an interclub system of pricing (ie no need for DSC member to join DOC and its reciprocated here) so all Ducati owners could attend and enjoy the days with their mates.
i know there are people disappointed by the cancellation of the 2 days but Cadwell will be better attended and more of a club event and we should focus on that positive side.
Well done MT in making a tough decision.
