St George Broadford Round practice day

[Mstevo]

I've just noticed the Friday practice day for the Broadford Round will be a Champions Ride day, so it we'll have to book through them and it will cost $139

[Marshy]

Jeez, $139 for a track day! Soooo expensive!!

Oh, hang on.... what does it cost at the Creek?? Can't remember exactly, but I need to sell one of my kids (or kidneys) each time I go. ;)

Seriously though, thanks for the heads-up, Stevo

[Mstevo]

certainly wasn't having a go at the cost, just passing on the info
although I can't remember what last years in house day cost?

I think your sarcasm detector is broken

[chubb]

Cheers Stevo

MVIC was 140 last year

[Mstevo]

yep sometimes I'm just too serious ;-)

Fridays track day at broady is still a MV day, champions is on Sunday

[The_Brick]

MV Practice Day (no racing following)
Open to all bikes (grouped by CC’s 250’s, 600’s or 1000’s dependent on the day)
$125 (including $5 insurance levy) pay on the day of event
$25 for 1 day MA licence or $100 12mths recreational licence or Ma Race Licence

[CLIFFY]

although I can't remember what last years in house day cost?

Dunno about last year, but they're $125 this year

[Mstevo]

Fridays track day at broady is still a MV day, champions is on Sunday
not according to their latest calendar,
http://championsridedays.com.au/portal/component/option,com_eventman/

besides we(as in St George MCC) will be racing on both the Saturday and Sunday

[chubb]

Maybe it was 125 and not 140 that i was thinking about

[CLIFFY]

Fridays track day at broady is still a MV day, champions is on Sunday

Think you'll find Mstevo is correct.
The MV day is the following Friday to line up for those of us doing the Hartwell series.

[The_Brick]

sorry what date is it?

[Mstevo]

sorry what date is it?
6th-7th September

[The_Brick]

I stand corrected the MV day is the following week, sorry for the wrong info, but is you book 6 or more for champions you get a discount of $25 each

[Marshy]

if you book 6 or more for champions you get a discount of $25 each

This should be easy to do!! Lets co-ordinate fellas.

[Marshy]

yep sometimes I'm just too serious ;-)

[Stu23]

sounds like a plan

[Mazabuzz]

I'll be in as well

[Marshy]

I'll be in as well

It'll be good to see you back on track, Mario :thumb:

[chubb]

So how are we organising this??

[Carl-52]

Both Stu23 and I are thinking of doing the trackday before the St George round!!!! should be fun :)

[chubb]

Kelly wants to have a go at Broadford too!

[The_Brick]

I might make this as well, would be good to see you NSW boys and girls down here in Vic. how to get a discount is to book 6 or more people with champions prior to the day. How I've done it in the past is made the booking at got the other to deposit what their share is into my account. I'd offer to do this but still not 100% that I will be there. As it is before a race weekend it will be busy and not like a normal practice day.

[Marshy]

Hope you can make it - it'd be good to meet one of our Mexican members ;)

I'll put my hand up to organise the group booking. PM me with your interest, and I'll send you bank details and do the group booking.

[chubb]

Just let me know when

[Mstevo]

how far in advance were you planning on booking??

[Marshy]

I'd hate to miss out, so earlier rather than later. Why don't we say a month from now? That should give everyone enough time to get organised.

[Saturnalian]

Count me in. Surely I'll have vroom by then

I don't think we'll miss out on a spot, it is a Friday and it is in the middle of a Mexican winter ;-)
although it wouldn't surprise me if Champions only allow so many group book in's

You still organising this??

[Marshy]

You still organising this??

Wow, did you like diary this or something?? :lol:

Umm, yeah, I should get on this asap. If anyone else feels motivated/has time, please speak up.

[chubb]

Coincidence and remembering while organising accommodation for Broadford.

I didn't have this in my calendar I swear

[Marshy]

Ok, I'm finally doing the group registration now. Names of DEFINITES! I'll need money too, ppl, but I'll submit the registration first. We need a minimum of 6.

PM me your name, DOB, email address, and bike make/model. If you want to be in a group other than 'Racer', say so (WAGs etc). There an option of a photo package at $55 each, so if you want that too, let me know. I'll sort payment and PM you back my bank details.

[Negrogrande]

ooh after today I want to do Broady, will have to see if I can get the time off work. I can't do ARDC in Aug :(

[Marshy]

Broadford is an unreal circuit!! I really really like it. Can't wait to get there again.

[Marshy]

I've got one PM registration so far....

[Mstevo]

I've got one PM registration so far....

What nobody's going to Broadford next month?????

[chubb]

Already booked in

[Marshy]

Need 3 more.

[CLIFFY]

St George entry was sent a month or so ago
Should know next week if I can make the Friday or not

[Marshy]

2 more needed to get the $25 each discount.....

[Marshy]

Bump. Isn't anyone else going? Who hasn't booked this day yet?

[Stu23]

Sorry Nick, I booked myself and Carl in, a while ago, with the house move and all i havnt had much time to keep in touch with everything.......

[Marshy]

Bummer. Oh well, a few more days wait, then I'll just book individually, without the discount.

[Stu23]

can you use our names still ??? just a thought, dont want the discount ( not fair ) might be worth a shout as were all members here ?? and get the discounts for the group

[tempest]

sorry if its posted elsewhere...

what are accommodation options for Broady ?

i'm planning on making my 1st trip there with a couple of others.

[Marshy]

We are staying at the Kilmore Motel again, Scotty. Just be sure to ask for the nicer ("4 star") rooms at the back - the ones at the front are draughty, cold and very small! The back ones are quite nice. It's also virtually next door to a large Woolworths, so supplies are easy. And there are some good eats in the same block, so 5 min walk at most to a range of restaurants.

There's nothing in Broady itself (there's only the Sugarloaf Motel, and St George committee book it out way in advance). The other option is Seymour. It's further from the track than Kilmore (and in the opposite direction!) but it does offer a wider range of options, and of restaurants/pubs etc, as it's a much bigger town.

[Marshy]

Oh, I found this quite useful (from the MV site): http://www.motorcyclingvic.com.au/fileadmin/user_upload/state_files/vic/Broadford_Documents/12.3.14.Accommodation_List_01.pdf

Scotty, are you doing the practice day?? Want in on the discount??

[tempest]

cheers, i thought kilmore would be the place to go.

still sorting some logistics but yes will probably do the practice day.

[Mstevo]

I've booked at the Kilmore Hotel again

[chubb]

Booked into Broadford motel itself this year. Good morning breakfast pies

Hope there is good tucker in Broadford.

[Saturnalian]

I got over my post Wakefield sulk today. Booked Accom at the Kilmore hotel. Put me down for the practice day Nick if that's still open via you. Let's go to Broadford !

[Marshy]

Tops mate!!! You're the final spot I need for the discount booking. PM me your particulars, please.

You're acting like you had a choice

[Marshy]

An update for all that are in for the discount - we have the numbers! I've entered all the details, and then their website didn't apply the discount. I've emailed them now to ask why, and once that is sorted I'll hit you up for some cash.

[Saturnalian]

You're acting like you had a choice

Funny Cliffy, funny......
I had a sulk about filling out the numbers and she just said Will you just go racing already ?

[CLIFFY]

Well there's your problem Jamie. You asked for a permission slip.

[Saturnalian]

I think i may have just reverse psyched myself into it

[Marshy]

I must be extremely lucky.
I don't need to ask for either.

[chubb]

Asking for forgiveness is better than asking for permission.

Also no idea where the new trackbike came from....

[Saturnalian]

Hmm, I think you've missed my point here. Maybe you were just too fast for me...
I don't need to ask for anything.

I just said, I don't think i'm going to do this now and she basically said.. Just go and ride your little bike around a track will you.
Maybe you'll find someone else slow enough to call it racing. I do love her, especially the way i've rubbed off on her ........??

[CLIFFY]

I miss the point all the time but the main thing is that you'll be at Broady

[Saturnalian]

Anyone ever camped at the track? $10 a night sounds tempting.

[Mr.Ed]

It will be cold as... but then again, at least you get to chuck a barbie!

It depends on your requirements for facilities, warmth, and staying dry. There were a few hardy souls last year (or year before, or both), but one year it was very wet, and the entire area was essentially just one huge mud puddle. Like, nothing but mud as far as the eye could see. And it's in the Victorian high country in the middle of winter. You know, near where it snows. It's farken freezing!

Oh, and there's no potable water (just a rainwater tank) and no showers etc.

But hey, I'm old and grumpy, and these days my idea of camping is 3.5 stars. ;)

Haha Yeah rain would not be fun, being from Bathurst I'm probably use to some degree of cold though. See how the weather is shaping up. plus its a whole month away it'll being warming up by then:whistle:

My 2 cent is to take it easy, relax and have fun. You will have a ball.

And stay out of Marsha's way ... ;)

[chubb]

Marsha is not in the 600s competing unless I can jump on his ape and he can jump on my 600

Awesome day. I forgot how this track eats tyres. I had to pull out of the 600s as my tyres were getting munted.

Finished 1st outright for all 3 CS600. Had fun with Stuart Kitson and Mick James battling with both of them. New day new set of tyres tomorrow and see how we go.

[dan]

Nice one. Where are the times - nothing on natsoft :(

[dadat178]

timing on Mylaps.

[Mstevo]

So that's why Aiden Wagner was riding the worked 600 at Broadford on the weekend http://www.ma.org.au/index.php?id=12&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=13790&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=6&cHash=016a35e26a
Good luck to him.

[kelly]

Yuh huh.

Was mad watching him slide the bike pretty much all the way through T10 on the weekend. :)

[Stu23]

Cranked over and hammering it listening to the traction control cutting in and out through 5 was spectacular :)

I'm sure Cliffy can give me tips with elbow down
