Ardc private practice day Friday 29th March (good friday public holiday)

[BoB]

Looking forward to getting back out there at the creek . Anyone else keen to go ?

[Marshy]

Hell yeah!! I'd better add these days to the calendar, so that we can keep track of them. I always forget they are coming up! Thanks for the heads up :drum:

[BR]

There are also several Test&Tune days each month at Winton.

[senator8]

This is only the south track. They keep changing the days.
You will need your own generator and shade unless they let the bikes in the garage.

Bummer!! Not so keen now..... Although I suppose they might change it again.

[BoB]

i thought i heard that the calender had changed and all the south only ones were now full track ... maybe i was dreaming it .. might give them a ring tomorrow

[Saturnalian]

Let me know what they say. Cuddles was going to come down for this one and help me out....

[Team Zero]

I am keen. But mainly for the long or gp track.

[BoB]

its only the south circuit and no garages.....:doh:

might have to do the track day on the thursday instead..

if cuddles are what you need i think Baddie is good for them (not speaking from experience , just rumour) or we could all have a group hug for you ...:grouphug::grouphug:

I see what's happening here.
My word not good enough for you clowns.

[BR]

It was you sir who spread the lies about it being changed to the long track! LIES!!!

[senator8]

Intel was good at the time. You guys are a bit slow on the uptake.

Sorry ringmaster us clowns will sit back down and let you entertain us ..

[senator8]

Umm, that's all I've got. Carry on.
You guys should consider doing some practice at Wakefield at some point.

[BR]

Practice at Wakefield? As in a ride day or are there "Open Practice" that I dont know about?

[senator8]

No, I mean ride day etc. they are similiar to practice days anyway. Timing allowed, video allowed, friends can take pics anywhere and relaxed atmosphere. If Rob, Jamie and wait for it Keith want to do St George then they will miss a lot of racing not doing WP.

[chubb]

Wakefield is only one rd at st George.. well 2 really.. the rest are FXRRC and RYM

There's only two rounds at EC and only one left

[tempest]

I'm aiming to get to this. Even if it is just the south circuit, it's good for a laugh.

well that could be 2 of us then , only 8 more required .. for $105 might be ok to get some track time in..

[BR]

Meh... I'm in... Better than nothing.... Surely we can at least run a couple of cables out for the tyre warmers

[Marshy]

If we can sort out some power I'll come along.

It'd be nice to catch up mate. I haven't seen you riding for a while..... :fencing:

[BR]

I just rang SMSP and spoke to Brian Goulding and told him that there are a number of people who are interested in attending the practice day on the 29th March but are wavering as they are not guaranteed cover/power.
I suggested to him that if he could allocate one section of the garage to bikes so that we have 1) Cover and 2) Power, it would mean a lot more people would pre-book for this.
He did NOT commit to doing this at this stage, however, he said it was a good suggestion and that it would definitely be considered.
He asked me to check in with him over the next week or two to see how the requests are progressing.

Can we please have a show of hands from those who would be prepared to pre-book for the day if we are allocated an area in the garage? This will help add weight to the request.

Also, can we also agree to keep equipment to a bare minimum and only keep one bike per rider in the garage on the day.

[BoB]

Heres my hand :wave: Im in then (unless its weather like today, don't have a jetski) , wont book the track day for the thurs and hope we can get 10 for the Friday.

[Marshy]

Mine too!! :wave:

[tempest]

unfortunately we'll have to wait! just checked the roster and i'm working :frusty:

[BR]

I spoke to Brian Goulding this morning and his has advised me that they will provide garage space (with power), for the first 15 motorcyclists to book, for $15 each.
I feel this is fair and will be booking my spot asap.
Who else is in?

[Marshy]

In in in!!! Thanks for sorting this out, Bernie. Much appreciated :thumb:

[Marshy]

Have you got a copy of the form?? I can't find it online.

[BoB]

im in too , will fax it off early next week .
ill send you a copy marshy

[Marshy]

Form sent!! :peace:

[AndrewTurner]

Cant make this one, working unfortunately. :(

[Saturnalian]

Intel was good at the time. You guys are a bit slow on the uptake.

who takes up the clowns on the slow what ?!

[Marshy]

Here's the form, for those that need it (ARDC don't have it on their page for some reason). Sign up fellas!! Let's get the numbers :attention:

Word version of the PP form (http://tarmactalk.com/forum/images/uploads/ARDC.doc)

PDF version of the PP form (http://tarmactalk.com/forum/images/uploads/ARDC.pdf)

[BoB]

form faxed today .. be gentle with me out there 1st ride back after my grass tracking at turn 4 ...

And a new bike , athough it is the same model and basically the same just a few yrs newer.

[Marshy]

Woohoo!! Hodgo is most likely coming too.... (with a bit of peer pressure!)

[Saturnalian]

In- form sent

[Marshy]

:thumb:

[BR]

I had a chat to Brian again today regarding reducing the fee and he will discuss it with the SMSP management. I will confirm it tomorrow.
The allocations will go to the first 15 people to book for the day. I have sent my booking minus the garage charge to ensure I get a spot. We *should* be able to sort out garage payments closer to or on the day. I will keep you posted.

[Marshy]

Thanks again for taking this on, Bernie. I already sent my form with the $15 added, but hopefully they'll refund the difference if we get a discount. I'm not fussed if it's still $15, TBH, because I simply wouldn't be going at all without it. $15 is a small price to pay for access to shelter and power!

[Little Mick]

link isnt working marshy... may have myself and joe coming as well

Hmm, it works for me :confused:
I've updated the filename to remove the spaces, which might help for some browsers. I've also uploaded a pdf version, as well as the original Word version (which is what ARDC should have done in the first place!).

[Little Mick]

Its working now... ;)

[Marshy]

:rockon:

[Little Mick]

ok.. form sent... assuming I get a garage spot or there's gonna be trouble!!!! :spy:

[BoB]

At this rate we will have 20+ and on the short circuit ... maybe i should tell everyone that its going to rain/ snow ...:smow:

sorry mick your out on the grass ...

[Nelso]

Leanne and I might come to this too. I need to get some time on the track in the next couple of months. I will be taking the retard up but, as I can't do a whole day on that tiny track on the ZX10.

[Little Mick]

maybe I should put some road tyres on the Yz125 and play on that :P

[Marshy]

Good idea! It might still be too much engine for the short track though....

[BR]

We need 3 more people to register otherwise the bike session will not go ahead.

[Marshy]

Crap!! Call your friends, people....

Actually, Hodgo was about to put in his form. That's one.

[BR]

I suppose we can split the difference if we are a couple short.

[Negrogrande]

I would if I had a running bike to go on

[Marshy]

Wanna buy one??

Hodgo just sent his form in this morning :thumb:

[Team Zero]

I am keen but can't make. What dates are you going next marshy?

[Negrogrande]

as soon as I get the Gixxer running again I am offloading it, so I will be in the market soon.

Kind of wish I didn't get the logo made up now...

oh well only cost me a fiver

[Marshy]

I was thinking about the 5th, or one of the 8th, 9th and 10th of April (ECRD track days), but then I spotted that the next ARDC day is the 12th (on the north circuit). Hmmm. Might have to do both!! Haven't been on a bike in a while. Gotta test out the latest bike build too.

No problem!!! You now ride an R6:

[Team Zero]

I could be keen on the north circuit again. Especially because there are pit garages and power.

[Marshy]

I thought I'd not enjoy the north circuit, but I ended up loving it!
It probably helped that I was having some great races with wetty, but it was cool nevertheless.
I'm in if others are keen!!

[Marshy]

I just rang ARDC. We had 10 bikes booked... until a short while ago when someone withdrew!! (Bernie, was that you??) So we are back to 9 bikes atm. I'm booking in for Thursday at ECRD as well, and also just in case Friday doesn't go ahead.

[CLIFFY]

Licence renewal is in winter, can't justify the upgrade to national before hand, that and I've already got 9 days on track booked for April anyway.
After my licence is renewed/upgraded I'll be good for most of them.

[Marshy]

Jeez mate, only 9 days in April?? You're not even trying...

(Holy cow! I'm impressed!! 9 days must be some sort of record :rockon:)

[CLIFFY]

3@SMSP, 2@PI, top rider level 1&2@Marulan and level 3&4@the farm.
Trying to get as fast as I can before racing next year.

[BoB]

Mate has just faxed his form in so we might have the magic number now. (10)

[Marshy]

Just got the call!! We are on :rockon:

[Negrogrande]

No problem!!! You now ride an R6:

http://tarmactalk.com/forum/images/uploads/lawson.jpg

Definite improvement, no to flick the gixxer and get another R6

[Marshy]

Heaps of bikes and fun here in the beautiful weather at SMP south circuit!! Bikes outnumber cars.

The circuit is HEAPS of fun!

[Little Mick]

great day out!!! a couple of nanna naps out there but all seemed to fair reasonably well...

Bikes got some respect at briefing and through the day too... was a fun outing
