I'm very keen to do one of the 2 double header day at the Island in April and looking for company

Monday 1st and 2nd...Easter Holidays which will make accommodation expensive?

Thursday 25th - 26th...ANZAC Day which could turn into a 4 day weekend for the Mexicans

anybody else want to fill in a quiet racing month

through KSRC Nelso was trying to get a trip up and running but it fell over, I'd go alone if it wasn't for the safety factor of being so far from home if you couldn't drive, oh and the accommodation cost sharing benefits

Although apparently it's extra for the garages. I recall someone saying that it's actually LinFox that charges for the garages, although that surprises me quite a bit if true. Surely it would be much quicker and economical to simply levy PIRD with a garage fee directly. :confused:
Little Mick
22-02-2013, 08:45 PM
yes - forgot about that- are they per garage? ie 4/6 per garage?

last time I was there it was $10/bike
that was a couple of years ago, it should be on their website

Yeah mstevo that's what they did in November when we were there. They just came around and collected $10 from everyone....

YES its still $10
Marshy

Again, it's kinda odd that someone comes around and collects it.... But then again, you still have conductors on trams down there in Mexico, right?

I was going to do Wakfield Park on the 24th and Top Rider on the 28th, but I think your idea sounds better..........

Looks like the stars are moving into alignment to make this trip go ahead, but I'll confirm next week.

Seems my mate from Vic can't make this one so I'm up in the air whether to go or not and where to stay
anybody else from the Canberra area looking to go?

We're out now Mick since we bought a house this week. I'm not happy about missing it either.

Congrats on the house mate!!!! what suburb?

Im looking like out for this one as well with a few things going on... would have loved to do it but will have to wait until august racing!

I was talking with Turner today about this event, and we decided that we can't afford ($$ and time) to head down for this one. We've already booked for the Pirelli race in August, so are looking forward to that.

And congrats Nelso and Leanne on the house!! I saw it on FB, it's beautiful!!

We have room in the cars, but would need another double bike trailer to use instead of one of the singles.

If you have a 2 bike trailer to use, the rest will be no prob.

Cliffy that's handy, as long as I see a practical(least amount of inconvenience to all) way of getting my shit back home if I can't drive, it makes me feel comfortable about driving down by myself

So the shed is as big as the house then :-) great choice Mr&Mrs Nelso

It's only got a double garage at the moment, but the plan is to build a triple or 4 car shed in the backyard for the bikes.

Better do something serious about this one before all the racer spots are gone, who's going and who's staying where and do you have any bed spots left?

Booked in plus 3 other riders.
My ute and 2 bike trailer, one sedan with a single bike trailer (possibly plus 2 non riders) and another sedan with a single trailer who is staying down there for a few extra days after.
Booked at waves. Not sure about beds left over, 2 rooms booked and waiting to hear if the non riders are going.
