Stalker and I are off to Brands on Monday 2nd to get our eye in for the final round of the championship 12 days later. It's a 4 group day as seems the norm now and we are both booked in fast if anyone fancies coming for a play.

What's the event organiser Craig? I had a crap experience last time at Brands with 4 groups - there just wasn't enough track time and the wait was too long. Mind you there was a LOT of crashing which didn't help.

But I'm free that day so might come along. How much is it?

I might book, 15 minutes is about right for me nowadays, just before the osteoporosis and rape sweat get to much. I recon it'll be 2 laps, someone crashes on cold tyres and end of session.

clue is in the title Bic

They are running 5 x 20 mins sessions not 15 mins. Price is £119 minus 10% or TDR discount.

Oh yes!

I thought that was just your new life philosophy. Ha ha

I will have a "chat" with Amy tonight over a bottle of Cava. I made the kids lunch today, did a load of DIY, jetwashed the yard in prep for her dad's 70th birthday party at the weekend, am still chilled and looking after all three kids for the next few hours. Surely, surely I'll get the green light?

It's not that I'm under the thumb but it's such hard work with the kids, if I take off for a whole day it's a big ask.

Weather looks good.
Any plans to garage up? The place will be heaving with 4 groups.

Stalker and I are getting there Sunday night to ensure a good spot. Will post up when garage secured.

Ducati Pete

2013-08-29 21:22:00 UTC

That's great - I'm thinking I may see if there are places available.

Ducati Pete

2013-08-30 09:11:00 UTC

LOL - and it's a thumbs up from me!
Happy days, wish I enjoyed the bike as much as I did then.

Ducati Pete

2013-08-30 12:02:00 UTC

Despite the website showing places in every group they are close to a sell out, could only get Inters2.
I will look out for that garage number on Sunday night guys!

Good to see you all guys! Great day, loverly weather. Nice to meet Team Green and the legendary Ducati Pete in his bright day-glo leathers.

Here's some pictures...
Klink and Ducati Pete

Schnauzer fiddles with his ridiculously expensive Panigale

Stalker pouring petrol all over the place. Put those fags out!!!!

Klink got up at 5am to get the garage that matched his race number. That's dedication for you.

This was shiny and perfect about ten minutes earlier. Met Paddock Hill bend.

Nice one Pete. Watching it does show me I'm way too early off the gas into Paddock and too slow into Druids.
