Cadwell Crashfest 15th 16th JULY 2013

Superdan

Superdan

Right we always put a vote to try somewhere different but Cadwell is THE home of the Crashfest and always wins.

If you have never been to the Crashfest its two days of riding on track, shit loads of banter and a LOT of laughs, I personally would not miss it for anything.

ok then lets play a game of who can wheelie from the mountain the furthest on the last session of day two

i think its possible to go all the way to the hair pin .

also , how many sds wide do you think we could wheelie over the mountain at the same time.
with a slow entry into the the mountain so every can group , i think its wide enough for about four of us , would make a great photo.

Is there any idea how much the 2 trackdays will cost?
Colonel_Klinck

Colonel_Klinck

With 10% discount it usually comes in at £200 for both days. Then there is the camping charge which we do out best to avoid and normally negotiate a group discount down to around £5 each a night instead of £10. Sabre normally does a runner at this point and hides behind the toilets the tight cnut After that its just beers and meat for BBQ. We always have a at least 1 gas fired BBQ there. Last 2 years we've had 2. It's BBQ-tastic

Nice one Dave, I was all set to make the same switch about 2 years ago. Then I lost my mojo for bikes and it doesn't seem worth it if I'm riding a few times a year. I have a load of spares and 3 sets of wheels - I may as well stick with the old bike.

Don't be a stranger - would like to see a thread comparing the 2 bikes when you've done some milage on the Ducati.

stalker

Realistically it's not going to be me,as i've not got the skill/fitness to keep up with the younger blokes. And unless i get a load of engine work done on my SDR and fit slicks and run tyre warmers i've got nil chance of keeping up on the straights,as was proved last year when on WOT Klincks and Ronins bike's just pulled steadily away from mine
So that only leaves me with one real opportunity to compete against them...........The Mountain..........i need to pull something outa the bag here and get some decent air under the tyres. Trouble is i've gotta recalibrate my brain into doing something different when riding over the thing,i've done it that many times that its automatic to just pull a wheelie and showboat to the onlookers (who expect it!). I really do want that photo of me and my SDR airborne over the moutain without Millar photo shopping it.
Failing the above we should have a class/race for the over 50's,that's only three of us at the moment so i'd be third quickest at least ..........If you are over 50 and dog slow/or even very fast please attend this year! ......dog slow would be better mind,so how about it TLS Russ ? Stupid Luke ?

A standardish bike can nip under the 1.40's without too much trouble. Not saying it's easy, but it's not anywhere near a hold your breath shut your eyes sliding everywhere lap.

In my cadwell races pace was down due to me generally not liking the place and struggling to get motivated and focussed with so little dry time and it being cold and wet most of the weekend. Also bike was geared too short so it was inbetween gears in places and shock was wrong which was holding the rear up after the bump in Chris Curnve and loading the tyre making it move and stop me getting on the gas.

If you fast forward in this vid.
Lap 2 is a 1.40.9 - side in chris curve, missing apex at gooseneck, held up at Mansfield, pass and at bus stop with extra gearchange, and mistake at Hall Bends
Lap 3 is a 1.40.2 - using 5th all way round charlies to try coz of gearing. Missing apex at park, having a look into mansfield, limiter before bus stop, pass into mountian
Lap 3 is a 1.40.6 - again using 5th round charlies again to prevent gearchange, then a big mistake into hall bends and totally missing apex and having to nearly stop the thing dead.

From then on laps drop into the low 1.41's coz if you pause it around 7min 17 mark you'll see Nemo doing my pit signals and telling me to got steady coz there was a big gap to 5th.

1.38's were possible that day if some had have produced a 520 pitch 38t rear sprocket and removed my head from my arse.

Viking

I don't know Si.

Been hell recently man. Really tough times. Kinda dark place you hope you only get into once in your life. Loads of personal and family probs that weren't getting any better then with all the pressure I put on myself to race and throwing myself into work to scrape the money together it was always going to explode and it did!
As it stands just now I don't know what's happening. I'm still hoping to do the full season and compete for the championship but it may end up I have to miss a few rounds due to funds or worse case I'll not be racing at all.

One thing for sure is I'm not killing myself on overtime and making such big sacrifices just to ride a bike round in circles. No point kidding myself on I can afford it coz its been shown I can't, not if i want to keep my sanity anyway

Cheers. Had a few pms already.

No need for concern. Appreciate the support though.

Just some probs with my parent combined with the amount of hours I was putting in meant no room left to deal with it all. Everything's cool with the wench n all that. Just the time off means I have dropped some money and now I need to spend less time at work I won't make it up so the racing will drop off a bit. No biggie. Priorities first. All working out now an coming out the other side.

Right, move along, back to your crashfest natter.

So 'king of crashfest' will be one for fastest SD, what do you want the other to read?

The People's motoronin award? (Best crash, Hopefully go unclaimed)
The People's Freestyler award (slowest rider)?
Best looking Superduke?
King of the mountain? (Best wheelie or air)

Any other ideas? Or any of the above?

Just been looking at some of the youtube clips from last year, and it looks great, not much run off but a nice soft landing on the grass. I've only been round mallory and pembrey so far and there much wider tracks . (we rented pembrey track to between friends its only £1200 for a week day for upto 15 riders so works out cheap).

from tother thread!......

It's a lovely day here at cadders

Suspension is now bob on after getting it set up and is a million times better.

Had a small slide onto the back straight then a bigger one later so dropped the pressure in the comp k rear and no further dramas.

Certainly knocked a few seconds off my attendance the other week.

Tony has gone home, looking forward to his fly mo footage.

Still got 4 sessions to go! Might dip out on one.....I'm neurofened up for my leg and ready to roll.


..... so no excuses then ..... 150+ bhp and suspsension is "bob" on........ no pressure! hey dan......

Right guys I've messaged Nolimits about Crashfest,

I don't hold out much hope but I've asked them if they could help us arrange a couple of slow parade laps in Nicks memory sometime over the 2 days. I think it would be a really nice thing to do and a fitting tribute as he was supposed to be joining us. I really hope that it can happen.

I've said that it should be us lot first and if anyone wants to join who knew him from other forums then fine. When they did it for Simoncelli it was amazing, especially the noise at the end.

Will hopefully get an answer from them shortly, I messaged via facebook not written on their wall just in case its not a goer for whatever reason. Insurance, hours and many other reasons not to let it happen but lets hope they have some compassion eh?

Superdan

Wow what an epic couple of days, it lived up to the name "Crashfest" again.

Turned up on the Sunday 3pm watched some of the racing and then got on the beers (not too many mind), slept like crap as usual in the tent and learned from last year to wear my ear plugs as the crows make a racket at 4am onwards.

Got out on track with Stalker in the second session with Stalker right behind, however after a few laps he stuffed it up the inside of me into the bus stop, I took a wide line to do him on the exit with better drive however he was really slow out the corner and I had no room (he later told this is a good race tactic to mess them up rider behind it worked ).

Then third session I overtook Motoronin round the outside on Coppice, (he later told me he thought it was a little close, (will have to check the gopro footage) and then he binned 3 corners later at Park apparently it was my fault....

Lunchtime ode to Nick was great, wheelies popped and lots of noise made, was quite a spectacle.

Anyway carried on the day sessions and did not see many SD's as only 4-5 in fast group, getting my mojo on and was caught napping and was overtaken by my Millar into barn GAME ON im not having none of that........we had a great 2/3 lap battle, his was a bit nimbler in the mountain section, but I gapped him on the straights(ish) and though I was quicker than him on the fast corners, after a bit of tooing and frowing I got a good clean lap, was great fun, then I braked in my usual place for the bustop and all I heard behind was a screech and I took a massive knock from behind and I was violently struck on the rear wheel as I was tipping in, bars flapped and made me go in a straight line I went grass tracking over the bustop and looked round to see Millar and his SD sliding down the road I pulled in to make sure my bike was OK. Apparantly this was my fault too.

At this point I would like to clarify a witness behind Millar said he tried to outbrake me, knew he was not going to make it and endoed his bike.....bike landed on top, ouch GWS mate.

Was so hot 25 degrees + both days, had to sign on for the evening session and Alex Lowes turned up on his SAMSUNG honda bike, man he was quick, was quite cool when he over took me going over the mountain and we both got a little air.

Fat security guard did us for £80 on the first night, second night he just parked up parallel to us waiting for someone to look at him in his picasso so he he could initate the usual, however it was too much effort to get out so he drove off after being ignored for 20 minutes, then about 11pm I said "well looks like we got away with free camping tonight", only for sighs of disbelieve as it turns out he had silently parked up 3 m behind me again then we all scurried off before he got out and went to bed.

Day 2 was good Gin was going well, and he got a little rear wheel off the ground action over the mountain, not much but it counts!

SC2 190 was pretty dead so bought an 200 SC1, went out and oh my god what a difference, I was ON IT, was first out after lunch (never bothered with gopro though) and I was easily topping my best times of the day(s) I did not want to come in and spent about 40 minutes out on track till it got red flagged for a crasher. The grip was immense and was opening the throttle sooner and taking Charlies 1 and 2 much quicker as well as Chris curve, did my best for a measly jump on the mountain for the photograher so will see what comes up on the Photographers website over the next few days.

BLB had a few issues with his RC8 and righfully dispondant however thankfully fixed (eventually).

Tony and Ducati Pete had a play on the V4 and liked it, however Ginge could change gear on it with his spack leg so came back in.

All in all EPIC 2 days. Only marred by the fact CK not present and Ben and Ronin binned it, however the banner has been updated accordingly.

Banner in my possession for Almeria

Another great crashfest in near tropicl weather conditions,track was perfect. Mucho pisstaking and plenty of giggles in the evening,the best bike competition didn't go down well and was a tad controvertial but Woody won it then James fell out of his van pissed . Dyno run put my bike in last spot with only 104 bhp WTF
All told it was a cracking couple of days again and nice to see some old faces and some new ones,everyone was on top form. I did my bit and kept up the hooligan tag of the SD going by pullin the odd wheelie and earning two black flags before lunch,got pulled over by the marshalls twice and told to report to the pits for a bollocking,which I never bothered to do (fook em ) after that they just stopped waving the flag so I took the piss

Very nice tribute to Nick on Monday lunch time,i think he would of liked it

Fat security guard was funny day and night he keep trying to engage us in conversation either about camping fees or how nice the bacon smelt on the BBQ,i walked off and Tony the Tiger just blanked him, I was pissing myself

My view from near the back of the pack - craic excellent as always, thanks to all for the evening banter.

It was amazing to see so many bikes with Nick's "KTM 666" avatar on - Millar's stickers were ace, can't remember a session where I didn't see at least one bike with one on. The parade laps were cool as well. I will not quickly forget the noise of a battle of Superdukes howling their lungs out at the sky. I think the man would have approved.

Despite this being the first track day of the year for me and the fact that the brakes were on their way out (pads I think, although they had 2mm at least all round before I left), I made a bit of progress. Some coaching from Reaper and Ronin saw me knock 5 seconds off my best time from Day 1 and then a few more in the sessions after that. Much appreciated chaps - ta.

In the face of some light piss taking, I continued my advanced programme of rider relaxation in between sessions. As Dan commented earlier, the crows wake you up at 04:00, so a top up nap during the day is essential in my opinion

Got some good footage of the parade laps and the dyno which I'll post up when I can. Unfortunately, didn't get a shot of the Lancaster bomber which buzzed the track twice as we were loading up to leave!

Cheers all for a great Fest, will look forward to Almeria and then CrashFest 2014!

Well where to start? Despite all the issues I still had a great couple of days.

First session on Monday, bike was having trouble starting totally random. Also guys asked me to go and check out the bike as it was smoking a bit, this just turned out to be old oil from resealing my clutch cover. Anyway got out next session, still intermittent starting but got it going and out we went.

Had a good session felt better getting confidence back after recent crash and little track time since. Was following James round but couldn't quite pass him, passed a few of our own in Inters but still way off old pace from last year. Nevermind..

Next session equally good, really enjoying myself. Can't remember any red flags at any time on our sessions so got plenty of time out, must admit the heat was really oppressive and it was a relief to see the checquered flag! Enjoyed the next session too, rear tyre starting to get low on tread but carry on anyway.

Thanks to everybody that came along on Nicks tribute laps, I really felt it was a fitting tribute to the man. All the noise at top of the mountain, Sabre's monster wheelie down the back straight, Millar also.

First or maybe second session after lunch and it all went wrong. Lost speedo, then display dimmed and then Bike cut out going around Barn. Coasted in to bottom pits and waited for pick up in the midday sun So the lovely old geezer that picked me up in the sweltering heat obviously forgot to strap my bike in and it fell over on the short ride back to the paddock Oil pissed everywhere, smashed screen and bent rearset. Not the end of the world considering Millars and many others misfortune over the few days. So got it cleaned up reasonably well, straightened things out. MSV paid for oil and any materials needed from the great guys at Parkitt. After all that the bike fired up and thought all was well?! 2 minutes later bike died again.

So with this I have to say a MASSIVE thanks to Scotsduke who stuck with me and helped go through the entire bike to try and find fault, everything pointed to ignition, alarm or instruments. The night before a can of beer was spilt all over my clocks and ignition so this was suspicious also. So Graham stripped the alarm out, then with help from Andy also we had to eliminate as many causes as possible. Took hours and blew about 10 fuses in the process. Darkness came and we had to admit defeat. So whilst everyone was enjoying the evening banter I just built the bike back up to get it home. Missed the dyno runs and seeing Alex lowes on his Superbike too, just gutted.

So morning comes, fresh head and eyes. Try to get a loan bike out of MSV but they knew the bike was having issues and wouldn't claim any responsibility for electrical damage despite 2 litres of oil pouring itself all over my bike. They did hold their hands up and no question pay for any physical damage. Signed on anyway and got stuck in to the bike again.

Lo and behold within an hour I found a frayed speedo sensor wire, literally fixed in 15 minutes again with help from Scotsduke, Andy Beetson and Lawman. Bike fired first time Might have woken up the whole paddock with the celebrations (not dubsandnaps though) So took another hour to tidy up the bike and make sure all good for the track and by 11am I was out there!

Really enjoyed my sessions out on Tuesday, not breaking any records but just getting confidence back for Almeria in 2 months time

Been dealing with MSV today and they have ordered me a new screen and rearset plate that was bent, also thrown a free trackday in with MSVT at cadwell sometime in the future. Can't say fairer than that really.

Really nice to see everyone, faces old and new.
Thanks again to Scotsduke for all the help with getting the bike up and running again
Andy Beetson for fixing up my smashed screen so I could ride safely and the tools lend
Stalker for the vital multimeter
Sabre and Millar for letting me use their Generators and not taking a bean for it
James and Lydia for all the various random bits and bobs I needed
Ducati Pete for restraining his piss taking
Anybody who cooked me any meat, I think I had one rib and maybe a couple sausages all weekend. Preoccupied.
Woody and Luci for the BBQ halfway there to keep the energy up
Dan for the offer of a ride on his pride and joy, likewise Fuel, Lawman and many others when mine looked terminal.
Cerec for being the best trackday buddy and listening to me babble on and understanding that its a bloody long way home to Somerset..

No limits and Cadwell have been brilliant, no problem for them to help out with Nicks laps. Also a big thanks to parkitt for allowing me to use all their 10 amp fuses and various other sundries all for free.

Nothing bike related but personal highlight was the spitfire over head on Sunday night, hearing a big bike flat stick out on the roads 2 mornings at 5am, TT style. Best thing though was multiple buzzings from a Lancaster just a couple hundred feet over our heads on the way home. AWESOME. Nicks laps were special too.

Well that was supposed to be short! Not likely to make next years fest but you never know. Cheers Boys and Girls

Members of the Jury.

I now produce to you exhibit 1 in the trial of Millar v Superdan to discuss liability claims.

As you can see my client was merrily enjoying his trackday until some rampant superduker believed he could surpass the mighty V4 with what can only be described as a wild overtake into the hairpin, as you can see my client showed much restraint in his subtle yet progressive overtakes at one moment allowing the Superduke to have his line into Coppice, merely toying with Mr Millar like a cat would a mouse, my client then got a clean lap in and was rambunctiously hit from behind with out even a hint of a front wheel in my clients perifery, members of the jury I put it to you that Mr Millar believed he could outbrake my clients bike with a 7 year old tractor and my client was an innocent party and can not be apportioned any blame.

well i had a good laugh

traveled up sunday night and duly pitched up with the superduke clan
many beers drank and rubbish talked before getting some kip
(not mentioning james falling out his van pissed lol)

monday morning and scraped through noise testing with no baffles which is good as it means i have another two or so hp to play

generally from then on a good day had passing everyone bar a couple who done me on the straights
bit of jumping and mucking about as you do

had booked the evening and and in the briefing it was mentioned that alex lowes was in testing or something and thought nothing of it as i probably would'nt see him.
then with sighting laps done we line up for our first session, i shuffle round in my seat to see alex right behind me
so head down and see how long me and the superduke can fend him off,
out we go head down hall done, perfect through the hairpin and into barn as fast as i have ever been, get a good drive out and am waiting for him to blast me. down one and chuck it into coppice moving around a bit but drop another and into charlies 1 and feeling pretty good for myself, wait for the bump and tip into charlies 2 spot on again, throttle wide open banging on the quick shifter and he just shot through the inside dummydamm it . at this point any idea of hanging on to him vanished as fast as he did.thumbsdown and by the time i exited park he was bloody near gooseneck .
oh well.

then i find myself with two bikes from a race team, no idea who they where,so i dug in and hung on to them only to find i had a little more in places. so duly put it past and then he returned the favour which is what we done for the rest of the session , and that one session was the most fun i had all day . epic.

tuesday open pit
noise testing says i am 106.5 , cant be mate i passed yesterday look at my sticker, oh go on then, bingo.
open pit is always a giggle to me, as you get fast riders down to mobile chicanes but no harm to me its all gravy.
now due to competing in the no limits racing i thought i better get the zx10 out for a bit of testing and data.filled the tank to the brim and headed out .done the whole tank until the fuel light came on , which was 26 laps but my times did not drop off and was consistant 44s. after a bit of rest i headed out again with the ten and again with a full tank , 27 laps this time and a bit quicker as i was down in the 42s, at this point i was happy with my lot and ready to pack up and go home but the boys pushed me into taking the sd back out . i went out for a couple of 20min sessions and just mucked about.

4 o'clock loaded up

thanks to everyone who was playing and sorry to anyone who i made jump when i appeared beside them at hall or hairpin or barn or coppice etc......

I enjoyed watching you with those 2 race bikes!


BTW - the guy who stopped the day and left by helicopter - had he already proved himself to be a bit of a knobber? I seem to remember Scotsduke saying he had nearly hit Tony or summink?

Absolutely class event and can't wait for the next one. Pretty happy with my haul of wins:

This wholly deserved


This:


As expertly judged by SuperDan and the Duchess and corroborated by the French

Good result on the Dyno as well


All a bit much for this poor lad though


Can't wait for Almeria now!

It was great to see the old guys again, along with fresh faces to the SD clan. I was looking forward to seeming my ex beautiful pristine SDR, but Clincky decided to play the hospital card. Probably embarrassed to show his face after the right rogering and high sides he's given her, poor poor little girl.

Loving the Ronin & Ginger pics, always suspected it to be so.

And Superdan playing the V4 power card to overhaul an SD on the straights, I like it

If a place opens up on Almeria trip I'll book it.

Wrist wasn't broken in the end, still pretty sore though. Foot is broken, but they didn't put me in a cast so I'm hobbling about on it.
Had to sit on the sidelines on Friday watching my mates and Maria do Mallory. Was so frustrating!

http://s760.photobucket.com/user/thegin ... est%202013

there are more but i'm struggling to upload them due to photobucket limits...... anyone know how i can shrink them and upload them, it would need to be on an entire file basis not pic by pic as there are nearly 600!!...... i use a MAC.....
blb

Upload to Flickr? Or link to dropbox?
The Gin Reaper

The Gin Reaper

Need to shrink the file size ..... At the moment it's about three to four gigabytes as the pictures are all off Lydia's fancy SLR so each pic is huge..... If I could degrade there quality somehow and upload them all people could then browse the lot and if they find ones they want I can send the originals......


It's taken all evening (6hrs) to upload those 150.......

First video finally uploaded - no editing though I'm afraid! It does show Stalker gain on me at an alarming rate from 3:30 through Charlies and then wave at the camera as he stuffed me into Park! You can then hear me deck the bellypan with the shock as I tip in!

For a good montage you need more than just track action. Don't think anyone any non bike material?

Plan for Almeria is day 1+2 get some general footage and day 3+4 get some track footage for:
