Annette,

Will there be anybody counting each rider's laps or do we have to do it ourselves?
I thought I would set my trip meter to zero and just divide by 1.2 (or whatever the offical lap length is) at the end of the evening.
Is that OK?

Cheers,

Richard

p.s. Looking forward to a great evening!

Hi Richard
Well, on the basis that time trialing, racing etc is not allowed on track days, we have to be hypathetical.
So we guess that if you're out on the Indy 1.2 miles (I think), people will be doing around 1 minute laps (OK, I know that's pushing it, even if you're a DD racer!). So on the basis of a 20 minute session, you can let your sponsor know that you've done 20 laps. It'll be a lie, but it's all in the name of charity..... See you Wednesday.

I've done all my sponsorship by amounts per 'session', which raised a few cheeky questions and comments about what they'd expect for a session with me! Joking aside, it seemed simpler to do it that way because if there were any mechanical problems and I had to cut a session short, I'd still get the full amount for going out. I'm capping it at three sessions, though. If FE squeeze a 4th in, that will be free gratis and for nothing

I'm on the Monster as the Duchess has developed an oil leak so not track worthy, I'm afraid. I'm sure I'll have loads of fun out there though.

1 minute laps? Pah! We do that on the warmup!

[Annette]

.....except for Nick who'll do 25 in 20

Seems my bike just wont be ready in time, and I may not have it for the weekend unless the new crankcases arrive soon
Many thanks to all those people that very kindly offered to lend me a bike for the evening but I can't put someone else's machinery at risk every time I come flying round/over/through/off (delete as appropriate) Paddock Hill bend so I will decline your generous offers.
What I'd like to do is offer the place up to anyone that may be interested and maybe donate the fee to R4H? If anyone's up for it let me know and I'll give Kevin a call at Focussed Events.
