Are we even sure there is a practice on the 30th. Usual New Era procedure is to run practice sessions on Sunday morning for Sunday only entrants (ie., us). These are the normal 10 minute open track, best lap time is taken as your qualifier for grid position.

Cadwel Park is organising a practice day on the Friday (29th) for anyone with a race licence (this is not unusual the friday before a race weekend). You can book full day or afternoon only directly with the circuit (not New Era).

It's nearly time!!!!

Sure this is normal procedure but on the race list it does say " practise session " on the 30th April......

Maybe the DSC has organised a slot for us but its in what format.?

Phil

I understood there was going to be a practice at the end of racing on Saturday along with a Photocall, question is will mine and AKs bikes be ready in time those few extra hours on Saturday evening could make all the difference.

Skiddy - the big bore arrived last nite -and is now on (tho it doesnt have the later barrels as we were promised, so need to do compression tests etc).

Zaust to be started at the end of the week, but DLS have obviously got good taste - and also one other, as they have just arrived with Mark for systems to be done too

lots more 'bits' to do for AK tho..........

chi,

just phoned them myself this morning as wanted to make sure everything was in place. bascially they have had a run of weekend meetings so dont think they will send out the entries till maybe one week before the meeting. they normally send them out when the entires close which is 16th of april in this case anyway.
