OK guys, with Jody starting the other thread its time to organise THE official SD.net crashfest

Thers now only a few guys who havnt managed to crash on our official days, so jump on board and bloody try harder

People want 2 dayers so we have very little choice I no people hate Mallory but i have listed the dates anyway! There seems to be less trackdays in general this year due to fat greedy b(w)ankers! but heres the main dates to have a look over -

2 dayers in july and august, heres all that are currently listed (MSV havnt any dates listed for Jul/Aug yet so it looks like No Limits it will have to be! OK with me as i have no problems with them )

Focused Events -

Mallory Park Friday 22nd/Saturday 23rd July
Mallory Park Fri 19th/Sat 20th Aug (Chrono day)

No Limits-

Mallory Park Fri 1st/Sat 2nd July
Cadwell Park Mon 4th/4th Evening/Tue 5th july (open pitlane)
Rockingham Fri 8th(International circuit) /Sat 9th (Superbike circuit)/Sun 10th (National circuit) july
Cadwell Park Mon 18th/18th Evening/Tue 19th july (open pitlane)
Oulton Park Tue 26th/Wed 27th july (im sure will be way over priced for most tatses)
Cadwell Park Mon 8th/8th Evening/Tue 9th Aug (open pitlane)
Mallory Park Fri 12th/Sat 13th Aug
Rockingham Sat 20th(International circuit)/Sun 21st Aug (National circuit)
Cadwell Park Mon22nd/22nd Evening/Tue 23rd Aug (open pitlane)

Theres no prices listed for most of them yet (TBA)
Basically your looking at Mon/Tues for Cadwell or weekenders at Rockingham, I like both circuits, even though Rockers broke my poorly wrist

Cadwell is good for camping and they are easy going with us BBQing etc, Rockingham has no camping facilities though (plenty of B&Bs but this is adding to costs).

Alot of the guys here have done these days before and no how easy going we all are and how friendly we are and how good the banter is, so any new-comers please feel free to add comments and join the fun/carnage/bullshit
Us lot are always on hand to get our hands dirty/rebuild after mishaps/take the piss etc etc and hopefully Superdan may make an appearance to fuel everybody with awesome cups of tea

So start picking dates guys and lets get this shit sorted ( i need to get things booked if i need the Mon/Tuesday off work/wife/kidz
Colonel_Klinck

Colonel_Klinck

Out of those dates I would vote for crashing at Cadwell on any of the later July or the August dates. I think I've almost mastered the front end tuck and feel ready to move on to the rear sliding all the way out on the power. Not ready for the highside yet as I'm a bit scared but this should prove a nice transition.

I can crash on these dates..

Rockingham Fri 8th(International circuit) /Sat 9th (Superbike circuit)/Sun 10th (National circuit) july

Er shit.............. Looks like I'm gonna have to take some leave...
motoronin

motoronin

I will say this chaps.. I'd very much like to camp (bring it fookers..) it's a lot more sociable and a lot more fun. If Klinck brings the barbie I'll bring the cooler box and marinade some meat.. *drooool* (we seriously need some more emoticons on this site fellas).. plus there's the added bonus of observing the lesser known short-arsed topless ginger northerner who seems to think clothes are for southern shandy-swilling poofs and flaunts his chest hair whilst I'm attempting to masticate ..terribly uncouth what what...

I'll go with the flow for this one

One note though, Rockingham DO allow camping but not always. On occasion I've turned up the night before and had to sleep just inside the gates, not allowed into the circuit proper. Other times I've gone right in. Rockingham also has good garages and electric.

Oulton is also a cracking Sd circuit, once you get going it's hard to keep the front wheel on the floor, but as I've said I'll go with the masses

Has anyone looked at Easytrack for dates? I've got 14 trackdays worth of credit with them so I don't wanna keep buying with other companies

I'll try to make whatever you guys come up with (work, kids and job allowing) ... but I would always vote for somewhere more Central than Cadwell, plus I'm happy to do a single day.
shadowman

shadowman

Something more central would be better for me and a single day would also be easier to fit in with other stuff / life etc.

I would have thought Mallory would suit the SD, twisty with no really fast straights. I know it's scruffy but who cares. My vote would be for Silverstone or Donnington if there were any dates available.

Final thought, I'm so used to IL4's for track work that I dont really fancy the SD on track. If I turned up on something other than an SD would this be considered bad form?
Colonel_Klinck

Colonel_Klinck

The problem with Silverstone is there is no camping and its fooking expensive for a 2 day'er. Donnington I believe does have camping but was also quite expensive and there may have been a problem with 2 days in a row being on there. It was on the short list of places to go though and if it's affordable and has 2 days together I wouldn't be against it. Mallory, and I haven't personally ridden it, isn't meant to be that great a track from what people on here have said. It was up as an option last year and got voted down.

The reason we are looking at a 2 day'er is because it was so much fun last year. The social side in the evening was almost as much fun as the track time. Also for some its a long trek and 2 days makes it more worthwhile. There will be lots of other single days happening I'm sure. Personally I will not be making many trackdays this year but the SD 2 day'er is an absolute must!

Id be up for a day at Oulton

BASH69

BASH69

Right, i can see this being a hard slog

Oulton is an awesome track, but at £165 a day its a non-starter for most ca$h wise!

Donington and Silverstone are both good tracks (Silverstone is a little long for the SD idealy) but neither have 2 dayers!!!

I knew Mallory would be a no go but i threw the dates up anyway If anybody fancies it anyway (its been re-surfaced, as has the whole of the paddock area, then il be doing a few days there this year as its 1 of my local tracks )

I will email Rockingham and find out what the deal with camping is, but im betting they wouldnt be happy with BBQing going on inside the circuit grounds

In-all Cadwell is the perfect venue for camping on a 2 dayer, yes its abit of a treck for our southern cousins, but it is a bloody good track for the SDs

Come on guys, this is the official get-together, theyl be plenty of 1 day dates by some of us (its an un-written rule here at SD.net that if you book a TD then you throw the date up in this section to see if anybody wants to join you )

Jody, i had a look at easytrack and theres no 2 dayers

And did Superdan just mutter Tuono hel be changing his name to Dan-Dan-the-Aprilia-man next
Colonel_Klinck

Colonel_Klinck

So what about Snetterton then???.....




Sorry bigash only kidding I think it's going to be Cadwell isn't it? It just fits the bill for the 2 day'er perfectly.

I can make any of these dates. Fingers crossed that mythical event called a Summer might actually make an appearance this year

Cadwell Park Mon 4th/4th Evening/Tue 5th july (open pitlane)

Cadwell Park Mon 18th/18th Evening/Tue 19th july (open pitlane)

Cadwell Park Mon 8th/8th Evening/Tue 9th Aug (open pitlane)

Come on fellas Lets not carry on beating about the bush, we all know it's gonna be cadwell, last year was awesome.

It always works out as the best bang for your buck for 2 days on track, awesome for camping, the cheap tracktime easily outweighs the travel cost unless you insist on B&Bing it and I'm coming from Kent, not as far as for Jody but well every where is far for him and he doesn't really care

I like no limits, they don't interfere too much and seemed to keep the track going as good as could be expected, no constant black flagging for sabre.

So lets just admit it now and get it sorted so then the only question that really remains is which days shall we do.

Cadwell Park Mon 18th/18th Evening/Tue 19th july (open pitlane)
Cadwell Park Mon 8th/8th Evening/Tue 9th Aug (open pitlane)
Cadwell Park Mon22nd/22nd Evening/Tue 23rd Aug (open pitlane)

I'm up for any of these really, I got a sun canopy awning thing that attaches to the the side of my pimp wagon now, just need some way to secure the poles so if I can park up next to somebodys Gazebo and tie em off to that then I'm sorted and will make for a decent sized area for us to chill out in and I was thinking we should maybe get a banner made up in Millars Superduke.net text

If you lot can actually decide a date and venue then I will try and book it off and make it despite A: having new baby twins a couple of months old, B running a company that seems to need my unparalleled attention , C never having been to Cadders before.

I just need to BOOK IT into the schedule and THEN IT'S CONFIRMED.

So, I'll go along with Razy and go for the 8th and 9th.

fook it I will come whenever, if I aint in Florida which is sometime during school holidays (late July and Aug). Even then, I will try to book hoilday around this as I missed last year and there is a whole year's worth of pisstaking in that one weekend. I cant wait. Twisted Jester can bring his Sat Nav then it wont matter if it is Rockingham, Mallory or Snetterton as we will be passing them all en route to Cadwell

It would be particularly great if we could; get Freestyler to attend on his Tuono RSV4, Weeksy to turn up on whatever is "the best bike he ever owned" this month, someone gets Buzz unstuck from his ewe to bring his S1000rr and we manage to lure that druid Robbo away from dancing naked around Stone Henge

That means, there's no sessions, no groups, you go out on track when you want and come back in when you want, as much track time as you can handle but everybody is out together so no telling how clear, how busy, or how fast or slow the people you are coming up on are going to be, I've not been on one though so these are just my perception of it.

Not sure how they work with regard to not having too many people out on track at once but it's worth noting they usually say no novices on these days so you might want to consider that when it comes to booking as to what experience that you say you have.

Where are you going to be that you can't possibly cancel bud??

Razy you will be fine as it's the 2nd day. By then you will be up to speed enough that it shouldn't be a problem. You will find yourself being overtaken a lot but the plus side is that you get to see the fast guys lines. Should help with your own.
Not sure Cadwell is that suited to open pit lane tbh though. Very narrow track and I can see a few red flags and a very serious briefing in the morning.

Come on Ronin, we need you there ya big lump

As for open pit lane, they still limit numbers on track! you end up in a que so its like the local new agents when you were a school kid - 1 out, 1 in (or was that just my ruff school? ).

The bonus is more track time for those who can handle it (just make sure you start each session with a full tank as i should imagine its easy to get carried away and run out of fuel - you all no how thirsty our bitches can be when flat out for half hour )

No limits only state No 1st timers, they say nothing about novice group riders who have been there before and know the track

Lets see is 1 of us can sneak out with Razy on the 1st day and show him the correct lines (or at least the ones we use )

I've asked my contact at NL how much discount we'll be getting off the prices but he hasn't come back to me yet, but to be fair NL haven't put the prices up on their site yet as soon as I know you'll know.
I did hint at the discount going into a beer and burgers "money pot" but to be honest it'll be a lot easier not to bother, I'll just pass the saving directly onto you guys.

If you have non SD riding mates that wanna come along and join in they need to sign up as SD.net members to get the discount.

I'm considering making this a 3 dayer as the mrs is going to be away anyway so I may as well make the most of it seeing as I'm driving all the way up there, if 2 days makes more out of the petrol money then 3 days has got to be even better.

New operator Uk Bike trackdays is doing 10th August, one of the guys on KTM Forum knows the owner and I think they're trying to have a few less on track than you sometimes get, although I'm sure that'll change if they need to get the cash in, either way as they're not so well known it could end up being a quiet one.

http://www.ukbiketrackdays.com/cadwell- ... 1-93-p.asp

So, anyone else up for some extra?, I'll probably book this one a bit later after we've sorted the main two days if anyone is interested but just thought I'd throw it out there now for people to think about.

Phew I'm back i n the correct Cadwell thread now. Was getting confusing there for a second.

So here is a little vid to get us in the mood. Just replace the nutty Fireblade with an angry Super Duke. The ridiculously smooth lines with some random crashing and the normal paced GoPro footage with our special .5x faster version and you have the SD.net two day crash-a-thon




Worth it for the final shot. One handed jump over the mountain. Uber respect!

i cant remember how many times ive watched that Josh Brookes footage, the thing that impresses me the most is how far his head is hanging over the curbs

By the way, this is how not to ride the Mountain

Jesus Klincky! ORSM vids....SOOOO fuggin fast on the Brookes flying lap. Major respect! and the one hander......wow.

Love the crash too. Lamest crash EVAR!

Looks like prices are up for August now, so just need Jody to find out the discount and how to book.

If it's £15 off each day like for the May one then it'll be £85 for Mon and £110 for Tues which would be nice.

What groups is everyone in?
I've only been to Cadwell once and that was 15years ago in the pouring rain so I don't want to go in the fast grope.

What camping arrangements do I need to make in advance and what facilities are there on site?

How much do think a massive generator would be to rent for the two days? could supply everyones tyre warmers/ipods/computers/gopro charging/kettles/sound system etc?

OK I'll do May 15th in the Inters and see how I go.
Anyone else going?

BigAsh: if you hire the trailer I'll tow it and pay for the fuel in the car if that works for you?
I'm planning to buy a generator over the next few weeks maybe we can pool some resources?
Any suggestions as to the best generator to buy?

I love to BBQ when camping so:
I'll be taking a gas BBQ and a skottle or a charcoal kettle as well.
If anyone's up for it I can cook a whole shoulder or leg of pork on it and we can have pulled pork sandwiches South Carolina stylee if you like.
Alternatively Boerwurst and curry 'hot dogs'
With regards to August I'll bring a case of cider but I am absatively NOT getting drunk at a trackday again. No sir.

Sauna is all bound up in Scandanvian customs and you need to know the etiquette: You must be starkers, towels are for prudes. You must add water to the coals for the full sauna experience, ignore any red blotchy weaklings that expire when you do so. Birch twigs (you can get them at IKEA) make sure you give yourself a good thrashing with birch twigs. If there are no birch twigs it is acceptable to bash yourself all over with the pine headrests supplied. Also for the full effect you need to stay in for at least 90 minutes. Have a good one

I'll chip in for the genny, got no warmers but I can probably borrow them from someone if I'm not too lazy to use them, it'll give me somewhere to charge the laptop up anyhow.

I won't make the same mistake as last time and pay for more than one night, especially if it has gone up to a tenner, I don't think security ever leave their hut.

More the merrier dude! we seem to struggle to get new guys to join us bunch of crashing reprobates.

Yeah bring a sleeping bag and crash in the van/tent, the fun is avoiding the security guard as he charges a tenner a night these days but the piss up and laugh on the evening is just as much fun

Get booked up!

Discount code just say "KTM FACEBOOK" but if you are on facebook "like" No Limits and there doing some kind of cash back deal too.

I think I might be up for this, its not looking good for me to do any before so could be in on this one. If anyone is passing sunny Yeovil in Somerset on the way with room in their motorhome please let me know!

Twisted Jester

Right that's all 3 days booked now, 8th & 9th with No Limits and 10th with UK Bike Trackdays

The more people the merrier, the way it's going if we have enough numbers maybe we can get our usual area cordoned off for us so we can all guarantee to get in next to each other, I know UK Bike Trackdays have offered something like this before on Trackday Riders Forum, perhaps we can talk No Limits in to doing the same once we've worked out the final rolecall.

And then we can get a big Superduke.net banner made up and string it across the gazebos

TJ. Just looked at No Limits site and see that they also have the evening session on the 8th. Does everyone book the 8th day and the 8th evening and the 9th? Me.... I think riding all day will be enough and I wouldn't want the evening session as well but what does everyone else do? Thinking that I might take a punt and book - just in case I can get the time of work and it doesn't clash with family holidays etc.

Last year the protocol was crash when you want. Some needed to warm up for it, some just went in and gave it their best shot.
One guy even had another go, having felt his first effort to be a bit lack luster.

OK, OK, its faster yes, ALOT faster (from 90+ anyway), its that fast im not even bothered about engine mods. BUT it does not stir any passion in me, dont go in the garage just to look at it with a brew. Still need to get the front sorted really but dont see the point.

But have whacked a DIY quick action throttle (too much twist and was slowing me down on straights re adjusting my hand, also gone from 15-40 to 15-42 gearing (the front was flightly enough in the first 3 gears ) defo needs differnt gearing for Cadders, will let you know how it goes on Tuesday

As for my t-shirt they are all good so far any more? best one by means of vote wins

Dan, is your too-homo based on the last version of RSV, where the top model had the pretentious name "Factory"?

I rode a RSV Factory and the handling was brilliant - much better on track than a SD. That bike has a lot of potential.
Superdan

Superdan

Yes its the last inclination of the the RSV prior to the RSV4.

Rode my mates Tuono Factory now THATS a nice bit of kit, the ohlins and lighter wheels make it SO much more planted it's far more a match to an SDR or the SD, the Factory felt like a different bike. TBH all that needs fettling with my TooHomo is the front forks as I have run out of rebound (or compression?).

Not sure if I can be arsed to get the front sorted if im selling in August, 100 quid for service but really need to get right springs and revalve.

Might change the oil and put new springs in myself BUT dont trust myself in doing an A1 job.
BASH69

BASH69

You dont need new springs mate! Do it on a budget and just add more fork oil to each leg! This will stop the bitch bottoming out!

If you fill them to the top with old cooking oil they won't bottom out ever.
A cheap, environmentally friendly solution right there!

Ginge, my mates GF makes malteser cakes. They are like little fairy cakes with the little fellas inside. I thought of you when he bought some into the office.

I'm really glad you're coming but I must admit to some confusion on that front, I really thought I was chipping in to a fund to keep Jody AWAY for 2 days.Well it's all done now but I will be reading my PMs more carefully in future.

Funniest thing ever (well YKWIM) at Jerez last year.
He starts in Fast on his mans 1000cc and seeing as it's packed with really trick kit there, and I know full well we have transponders on and there will be a group shuffle I go in inters.

Ok I have a plan of action to get my ass to Cadwell and join all you nutters.

Gonna call No limits on Monday and find out how much space on each day and book 1 day whichever is more booked up. Then going to flog some gear on ebay to pay for the second day, that should leave me some dosh to get by on for the next month or two. As soon as the money comes in I'm going to pay for the second day. They might even reserve me a space for a week or two whilst I try and flog my stuff?! The motor trade is so bad at the moment, this time last year could have booked in a heartbeat but not now

Its looking like Cerec is going to come along so we can get up from sunny Somerset relatively cheaply. Will update on Monday, I'll be in Inters, dunno about Cerec.

So its looking good for another 2 coming along! After missing last year and meeting some of you at Brands I would be a fool to miss it.

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure it makes much difference but there is an event on Sunday 7th, its that no budget cup thing that fast bikes mag promotes. We might have to check our arrival times otherwise might end up having to pay to get in the paddock/camping area?! Myself and Cerec1 will be arriving after 5pm I expect anyway but may affect a few of us.

Maybe the boys who went last year will be able to advise on where to go, camping spots etc. and be able to rope a big area off for the late arrivals

Not long now! ish
Twisted Jester

Twisted Jester

Ooh, so the no budget cup got cadwell this year.

We entered last year for the lydden round as every other round was in Wales cause they couldn't get any other tracks as they were still sorting out ACU licence stuff, when unsurprisingly they couldn't get enough entries for what was really only no budget cup for weslh residents they cancelled the whole thing with plans to come back this year but I never did check and see what they came up with this year.

Might be worth asking no limits to confirm what time we can arrive.

We normally try and all park on the very bottom row where the scrutineering shed is, not great places for pitching tents down there but plenty of other grass areas for that.

Is this a cool pic or what! Ultimately we all need to be together as its more fun that way, I think we could all fit in our usual place at the bottom but will be a PITA to keep it ours unless we can get some signs made up or get nolimits to assist.

The bottom part and the terrace behind it are the most convenient bits for sure.
Colonel_Klinck

Awesome pic!

We can all easily fit down the bottom part as you pitch up on both sides. I'm going to try and be there for 4pm then and try and cordon off the area. Any chance of "borrowing" some Police cones for a few hours Dan to assist in this
Superdan

Superdan

I will see what I can get hold of but we defo need to cordon off the area maybe with some signs with the ok from Nolimits/Cadwell.

Lets hope therevcounter boys dont have the same idea.........

I am working Sunday and cant get it off, so I dont know when I will be there.
blb

blb

I'm bringing this big old 3 bedroom tent so a bit worried there won't be space to pitch it near the scrutineering bay cos not enough grassy bits?

If I could stick arrows on the piccy I'd try to point it out but what about the bit on the left of the entrance road, I'm sure we could commandeer the bit where in the photo there's just a couple of tents/vans, before the first branch off left. I've had a look on the nobudget cup schedule and their last race isn't til 5pm so no chance of getting the bit by the scrutineering bay I don't think?

Obviously we're led by who gets there first, but got to bear in mind there could be 20+ vans/cars/tents.

I think it's quite logical for everyone to move to the back of the paddock because one guy is bringing a marqee.

I'm def kipping in the van with gazebo joined on the side. Might even join my gazebo on to Ginge's for some double gazebo action!
Twisted Jester

Twisted Jester

Yeah, got to be first or 2nd tier really, the 2nd one you can camp on the grass strip behind it and is larger of the two areas as no scrutineering shed taking up space, that's where we pitched my monster tent last year but depends what time we get there as can fit us all in bottom one if we use both sides which is less walk to toilets/showers/cafe/trackside, but might be hard pushed to get all that unless we all get there first and assuming NBC people have cleared out already, if we can get at least a few gazebos together and make 1 main socialising/bike garage area big enough to line all our bikes up and base out of during the day and evening then that would be awesome enough anyway, the location of the rest of our vans and tents won't be an issue.

Either way, better to have hard standing for all the bikes, bbq, camping chairs etc and just take a bit of a walk at bedtime, sleeping is the smallest part of the day, especially if you drink some monster before bedtime

well if we ave a count up a week or so before we go of whos going and let everyone know then the first few people there sunday night can take over a row? can we not just park a couple of vans over the top and bottom of the road to close it off and open it up for the dukes bugger the walking back to a tent, air bed in the back of the van!

I PMed Daz a bit a go, he said he was looking into it, not heard anything so im guessing its either too much hassle or its not happening, would have been good though, but even more imperative to keep us all as a group.

I have sourced myself a genny and got some tyre warmers

Apart from bike and spares and other motorbike related gubbins what else will you need to bring?

Portable chair(s)
Table will need at least a couple of good sized ones if anyone has one?
Orning/gazebo
Tent
I always bring a motorbike chain
Cool boxes (need a few of these due to lots of beer )
Earplugs if your in a tent or the same postcode as Ginge.


I have a kettle that I will bring down with tea and coffee.

Has anyone got a decent sized gas BBQ they can bring down? we will need to chip in for gas though. (I dont own one )

Would everyone be happy chipping in some dosh for food and beer? getting butties for AM? and BBQ food for lunch/tea? I will happily do the food/beer runs as I know where im going, could be cool nipping down to the indian again though?

If someone brings a BBQ I will happily keep your stomachs stocked.

1 x set tyre warmers
1 x set WOW

hopefully I will by then also have.....

3 x clutch cover
1x Genny cover

1x brake lever
2L and 2R standard footpeg hangers
standard handlebars
1 x pair standard footpegs
1 x pair DHM footpegs
1 x pair upper crash bungs
1 x set shorty levers

and if all that's not enough I'll also have my Aprilia with me. No don't worry I haven't caught the ghey like Superdan, I have a SXV550 SM which I will be riding for 2 days sat and sun. so that's 4 full on bike days for me

I have a 40l electric coolbox, if I find the time and cash to get a leisure battery sorted in the van then it might be enough to run it for a few hours a day to keep the beers cool for the evenings or water during the day, haven't looked into it too much yet to work out the draw but unlikely it could run the entire time, does keep things cool for a while though once chilled, we spent a day in an amusement park on our last day in devon unplugged it when we got there and it was still cool by the time we got out.

I've also got a fold out picnic table thing with seats built in, it's only a cheapy plastic thing so not sure if 4 big blokes could fit round it but will give us some extra table space.

Got a gazebo type awning for the van too so could park on one end of the gazebo line to add on to it.

I think if everyone just brings some meat/food with them we should have more than enough to not have to worry about food trips for the bbq.

Shade might want to bring a frying pan or something so he can cook some veggy stuff off of the meaty grill

Happy to bring my mahoosive tent again if anyone needs it

Right two quick questions for you all.

1. Are slicks aloud on a uk trackday.
2. Would I be a complete idiot in getting a set?!

Yes they are allowed and Yes, not a good idea need a LOT of heat and take getting used to apparently. I haven't tried them but for trackdayers probably not necessary, not fast enough to keep the heat.

What BLB said.

There will be some scrubs there on the day too no doubt I MAY (cannot confirm yet) have a racetec K3 front which you could have for a nominal fee, just need a rear K3 which can be purchased for 130 from here:

For anybody booked into Novices on the 8th, bear in mind that NoLimits are doing some sort of special one off Novice day so there may be some proper first timers there.

It may make it harder for the faster of the novices to enjoy themselves. May be worth thinking about changing booking up to Inters so you can concentrate on getting faster rather than dodging noobs. ( don't think that I'm criticising the Novices, we all have to start somewhere )

I did Cadwell last year and it was my last TD in Novice and some of the guys were SO slow it was dangerous. I would say if you have done 3-5 Days anywhere its time to move up anyway.

Basically IMHO what I'm saying is if you're thinking about moving up I would do it at Cadders, may be too late to move on the day as Inters is normally the most booked up group.

Of course on the flip side of all this if you are a complete novice there won't be a better day to get on track for the first time!
THEDUKE

THEDUKE

i must admit, its right what BLB is talking about. we have all been on novice days and started somewhere but there is always 1 or 2 people in the novice group who are are not only a danger to them selfs but a danger to everyone else 2 with the way they ride. if there is a true novice day on the 8th i would defo recommend moving up to inters. even if your a slow inter people will be able to at least get around you instead of running you off the track or worse in the novice.

Cheers for the info - I'll give them a shout tomorrow. I tend to go for the slow session so I'm not going to get torpedoed by someone trying too hard who isn't quite as good as they think they are. I do sometimes find it a bit frustrating having to pick a different line every lap (or trying to pass three people in a corner) but it tends to work out that everyone else gets quicker and I don't - so the problem goes away! If they've got a bunch of genuine novices I'll probably see if I can get bumped up. I will, however, be getting my elbows out - all in the interests of public safety, of course.

Novice IMO is a liability unless you truly are a novice and a slow road rider. Cadwell is a narrow track and as such there are only a few lines you can take. You could easily find yourself getting nailed down the straights by 1ltr IL4s who then spot a corner, slow to 30mph and still take the line at that speed, holding you up all the way through the corner Then they spot a straight and are off again. Even if you do get past they will overtake you again on a straight before slamming on the anchors into the next corner.

As BLB says, if you are in Novice get out on track at the front of the group. It's a bit of a pain waiting the extra time down there in holding area but worth it once you get out on track and have a clear track ahead of you.
BASH69

Ive gotta say IMHO inters is THE biggest liability group to be in out of the 3 groups

There is such a huge variation in rider ability, youve got super slow riders who want to be with thier mates, youve got super fast riders who want to be with thier mates, unfortunatly thats the way it will always be no matter what group your in, nature of the beast etc!!!

If your running novice or inters just get yaself to the front of line and get out 1st and have some fun, that way you wont have to worry about overtaking people for at least 10mins and those that are genuinly faster than you can overtake and go!

Just bought some Dunlop D211 NTEC's med compound scrubs from ebay, apparantly they are damn good race rubber, they have allegedly done 12 laps of knockhill (we will see) so should last the two days, and maybe the third If I do that.

Did not see point in buying new for two days.

Right, after ALOT of pissing about i have now finally arranged a way of being there on the 9th for open Pitlane. TBH i would have prefered the fast group on Monday but whatever, at least il be there for 1 day.

Fingers crossed i might actually get a good day at Cadders without a crash, mechanical failure, suspension problem or injury stopping me from riding

Looks like I'm out of this one, I've just had a big job confirmed, and Cadders is slap bang in the middle of it. Unfortunately I can't turn it down, I've been paying out loads of money recently on car repairs, vet bills, tax man etc.

Is the plan to try and get the tarmac area of the pit lane (A)? or should we look for an area were tents etc can be put up, and where we could grab a larger section of space. It would be good to have all 20 of us near each other! Like the south end of E.

As there is the NBC there on the Sunday it's going to be a case of first come first served. I think between the 4 or 5 of us that are getting there for 4pm-ish we shound be able to secure a space for 20 bikes in either A or B. See what spot comes up first. We have 3 gazebos that I know of, Ginge, myself and James. Does anyone else have one that is coming on Sunday afternoon? When they are joined together in a row you can get a lot of bikes under them.

Think the best bet is to join 2 gazebos together between 2 vans/vehicles and then 2 more ect. The earlier people can be there the better chance we have of grabbing a big space together.

If we have two long enough pieces of rope why not just put one across the pit lane behind the hut from the grass bank to the wooden fence and then the same the other end, blocking it all off and then as ppl turn up they can join the rest.

Good to see the DNA of the British Empire alive and well - best get there before the bloody jerries with their beach towels! (Apologies to any Germans on here - only kidding.)

I'll be wandering up on Sunday evening so will see you gents then. My alternative arrangements have all gone tits up so I'll either be doing the B&B thing or looking to scrounge some floor space - or buying a bloody tent.

I wouldn't wish to piss on anyone's chips but there is a distinct possibility that because A we're oop North and B it is the british summer, it could piss down morning, noon and night.

Any thoughts? My first suggestion would be that one of you gentlemen with a van and a hand picked, highly trained and dedicated unit of crack commandos (I'm modestly putting myself forward as the leader of this dangerous mission) bugger off in to Louth to buy all the booze we can find and then get shit faced around a bonfire of IL4s for the entire two days. A more sensible idea if the weather is bad is that we phone up Louth General Hospital and offer to take all the nurses out for a piss-up. A show of gratitude from the biking community. It isn't charity, it is an investment in the inevitable.

Anyone got any silly suggestions?

Someone on here said there was a race meeting on on Sunday with the last race starting a 1700hrs,if this is true i think it might be a tad difficult trying to reserve space's or even get a space untill they all clear off.

Area A then might be impossible to get so what's the thoughts on north of I,H and G spread out along the fence as an alternative to A ?? it would be easy to cordon off. I'm still gunning for A though as my first port of call
BASH69

BASH69

Weve always managed section A in the past but unless you guys who are getting there on the sunday are willing to wait around till the racers have gone home before moving in to thier spots (and thats presuming they are going to leave) then i thing sections I, H and G are the next best thing!!!

Section A & B have the best tarmac areas for those of us with paddock stands/tyre warmers but i think you guys are going to have to make a decision on the sunday when you get there!

Where ever you pick make sure its a nice spot for me please, i wont be happy when i turn up and find youve got us somehwere shitty

I may be turning up on the Monday afternoon (i have hatched a plan ) so will be booking the monday evening trackday and then the OPL for the tuesday I still have a few things to sort out but it looks quite positive!

I would love to come along on the Wednesday too as I have the day off booked but I just can't afford it, still 2 days on track is going to be amazing.

Myself and Cerec are arriving on the Sunday as early as possible coming from Somerset! Probably about 5pm if the traffic is good on the Sunday.

I spoke to Cadwell office a few weeks ago and the no budget cup thing is on that Sunday, last race is at 5pm but we can arrive after 4pm and won't have to pay entry. Camping is still £10 per person, per night.

I think that trying to get Area A is going to be futile to be honest, I can imagine that a lot of Sundays racers will be staying for the trackdays to follow as well. So I'm thinking we should all settle for area I/H/G. This area has lots of green space for pitching tents and gazebos with some hard standing areas for the bikes to stand on.

Its looking very likely that I will be on an RC8 if Fowlers can do me a deal , hope i'll still be welcome...

Just my two pennys worth.... for what its worth

Also just had a look at No Limits site and Monday the 8th is sold out now still spaces for evening on the 8th and the 9th still has spaces too

No, the race finishes at 17:00 not starts, it's only one race, a 3hr endurance.

It's still a reasonable expense to race the NBC so I don't think loads would stay for the trackday as well but you never know.

See here www.nobudgetcup.co.uk/downloads/Timing_Cadwell-Park.pdf

We're just going to have to play it by ear and grab as much space as we can, when we can.

B is the bigger hard standing area but if we can't get A or B then I doubt many will go for IHG as it's right out the way, trouble is, it's little more than a cars width of road between the grass, might well bring a couple of chunky bits of ply to stand the bike on just in case.

Have we got somewhere to store all the Food and Drink? Most importantly to keep the Beer/Cider cold oh and the meat cold too!?

What should everyone bring as I think we have 20 bikers to keep satisfied between racing!

OK bike is sorted

Fitted a 45 tooth rear sprocket, so running 15-45 on the Tuono, 16-40 is OEM and been running 15-42 but was not ideal for Cadwell.

Have about 3cm less wheelbase as the rear axle is as far forward as it will go. Could really do with an extra link in the chain but will do for two days.

Got my medium Dunlop D211 NTEC's fitted too.

Last TD it lofted the front in third down the start/finish, its going to be a beast I think

Front and rear medium (190) for me not even worn to the edges, used scrubs, allegedly done 8 laps of knockhill, sure they will last the two days. Glad they have the seal of approval, not tried different rubber for a few years.

So you leaving us in suspense if your A ok and attending Pete?

I had my MRI scan on Monday but I don't think I'm going to get the consultants report before Cadwell. I'm in Wick at the moment, super north Jockland.

I think I will make a decision based on how I feel - at the moment it's not too bad at all.

It's not the pain that is such a big thing on the bike, more the lack of feeling in my right arm / hand. On the brightside I may perform some revvin' Kevin style heroics on the brakes by accident, or I may loose the front for no apparent reason!

Well......... what a truly awesome two days, it was so good to see the old gang from the finchingfield runs and great to put faces to the other names that appear on the forum so often. I agree with shade -best off remaining upright goes to Tom (The duke 1988) any lunatic that wheelies from the mountain so far that they forget about hall bends and straight line them over the grass gets a big thumbs up from me! Add to that he spent the rest of two days trying to put Cadwells hard working groundsmen out of a job - Tom you are definitely the SD.net chief mower your agricultural excursion mean't i stood a chance of staying on the same lap as you (i think we totalled up 6 or 7 offs?)
The ginger ninga -or Malteser geezer as he is also known (Sabre), is my vote for the best crash not remaining upright, although it has to be said i would dock him marks for being a camera whore and purposely sliding back into shot of his go-pro having turned greasy side up!!
Day one was fun in the groups with the fast group getting all the luck, i think they got all 7 sessions. the inters were not as lucky as the rain always seemed to appear part way through the session - this then mean't that the novice group either had rain or a very wet track...... inters- i managed 6 sessions i think, with at least two cut short by the weather........ whilst the better half only got two sessions because we hadn't packed either the canoe or paddle! The weather god was not looking after the novice group that day!
Day two was open pit lane and there were some very handy BSB and superstock / supersport riders about ....... all i can say is that i spent most of the day trying to work out how it was possible for a sports bike to overtake a superduke that quickly!!!! That didn't detract from the silly grin inside the arai i was wearing though and certainly didn't stop Theduke1988 from further demonstrating his mowing prowess. There was also a slight agricultural excursion for the Broken legged biker on his RC8 but the damage was not to bad............ all in all a really top couple of days with some really good people, can't wait to do it again.........

What can I say. it was FOOKING EPIC!!!! Will do a proper write up tomorrow when I'm not so fooking knackered. Really was such a brilliant laugh and some fast riding. Only big downer was Ginge binning it after only just getting his bike working Was a nasty off at 75mph and he did a proper roll over and over again. Fortunately the hard old fooker bounced well and is just a little bruised and grazed where others (myself included) would have stayed in the ambulance and headed to A&E. Glad you are ok m8 and the SDR isn't too bad considering the off.

Well thanks chap (and chapess) for a good few days, shame some of you could not make it.

I promptly left work at 2100 on the Sunday all was dry in Sunny Scunny as you would expect but I saw big rain clouds looming over Cadwell. By time I have chucked everything in the car and en route its lashing it down, bollocks don’t fancy a sleeping in a tent with rain all night, should have just turned up on the Monday morning and had a good nights sleep.....anyway.

Arrive at 2230 and see Jules as no one else around where the hell is everyone? “all in Jody’s van” I look over to see his long wheel base sprinter thinking thought there were like 17 of us how do they all get in there? Anyway open the door to find it was actually not a “cab” but a giant bong , think I see some people I recognise through the smoke and introductions are made once again. Few beers later everyone asks where TJ was Dan and I go outside (in the rain) to find him trying to single handily put his awning up in 25 knots of wind and rain…… (was clearly a 3 man job too in this weather) his idea of using it was disbanded and the 7 man tent he had bought I was not going to erect by myself (and be the only one using it) so Dan offered the use of his van-Sweet. Was rather disappointed all the first timers had gone to bed when I arrived anyway………..

Wake up at 7am Monday morning, I think we all knew this would be hit and miss on the rain front, make my introductions to some new SD owners I had not met, everyone, jumps on the Tuono to check out there feminine side…….I was running Dunlop NTEC D211 racer 19psi cold rear and 30psi front, took them out on the first session and felt like I had a flat tyre, came back in put the warmers on for a bit longer and got some heat in them, provided shed loads of grip and an awesome tyre, recommended! Moments behind Shade when he takes a tumble at Barn, was gutted to see the SDR at the side of the track every time I did a lap .

One session is red flagged, come in to find out it was Ginge, the veteran trackdayer original king of Cadwell has been off, we all check on his welfare and his bike is stripped of its GOPRO as soon as it lands in the pits to check out his footage………… his bike is OK but Ginge is battered and bruised unable to partake in day 2, shame as Ginge had trouble with his bike in the AM only to find it was the tilt sensor was the reason it would not start/stay running.

Missed two of the sessions on the Monday due to rain, I think Novice/Inters got the short straw and got more rain, but dried for us fast boys when it was our turn. As usual was having fun with Jody out on track but could not keep out the corners, was not pushing myself on day 1 as really did not want to bin the bike as got another day tomorrow and knew that would be the fun one, plus I had someone coming to buy the bike on Wednesday when I came back from “my business trip“..

Nip to my folks in Louth for a quick shower and an ice run for the beer, ring the buyer for my bike only to find he has changed his mind……oh well, no drama., return for now my 2nd BBQ of the day, lots of beer and banter all night.

Everyone goes to bed at midnight thought I best do too, manage to sleep from 0030-0230 and then awake in the van for the rest of the night, not a good start. BBQ bacon breakfast (again) go out for two sighting laps and back in, give it half hour as still couple of damp patches, new today would be sun all day. Result.

During the course of the day struggle to get comfortable on the Tuono, its difficult as when I bought it came with a go faster butt plug which makes it uncomfortable round corners, then Ducati Pete comes past on his crash prepped SD, then as sessions go by TJ comes past, then I brake like fook to try and avoid the worlds slowest rider and Craig does us both on the outside (where I should have been) get stuck behind him and don’t see Craig again.

Pretty much get dusted on the Tuono by TJ, Jody, Ducati Pete and looking at Craig keeping up with TJ when I was watching I think if we had been on an open track I would have been properly overtaken by Craig too, (lets be fair yours did not count Craig!)

Got some footage from Jody’s GOPRO of him jumping the mountain but the tint of the screen does not make it very clear, had a quick look at the footage and im pretty much doing constant 1:53’s.

Call it a day at 1500hrs little bit knackered now on abouth my 6th BBQ and dont want to see another burger till next year!.

Nice to meet all the new faces, hope you see why we do this every year, hope every ones bikes repair well and cheaply.

Clear the SD has much more low down grunt, majority of Cadwell is 2nd gear, SD punches out the corners better I this gear as the Tuono has ram air it does not go mental till the latter of the rev range, I did have 45t sprocket for the rear which would have been ideal but could not get warmers on without extending the chain. The Tuono was no faster on the straights either, (my Tuono has no performance mods).

Miss my SD and wish was on one, BUT I still had fun.

Another awesome two dayer at Cadwell with plenty of banter,but sadly for me not much riding.
Sunday afternoon (1430hrs) i managed to blagg my way past the fat lass on the gate without paying the £12 entrance fee to watch the "no buget cup". Dan (Motoronin) turned up to find me with my bike stripped down trying to suss out why it kept cutting out,we decide it might be a regulator fault so he promply rang Jame's (Ginreaper) and instructed him to canabolise his bike(motoronins) back in Norwich for the parts. Thanks lads

It was nice to meet up with all the new member's from here as well as regulars Sunday night i was pissed up and high as a kite and i dont even smoke my bike was still not running so i nailed the cans instead.
I manage to dodge security for two nights on the trot so saved myself £20 on the camping fee at one stage i found Tom (Duke 1988) along with Fuel hiding in the toilets from the security guard i was sure monday night the bloke was following me around,but i managed to evade him yet again while i watched from a distance drinking beer and taking the piss by waiving as the others paid up

Monday started with a thick head then the briefing,i missed noise testing as my bike was in bit's. Thanks to absolutley everyone who gathered to help fix my bike between their own riding session's,Craig constantly had his lap top sat on my bike trying to suss it out,all the help was very much appreciated.
Eventually after checking everything,regulater,battery,plugs,TPS,side stand switch,fuse's,tilt switch repositioned x2,fuel map and many more things as well as a trip into Louth with Turnip to source a new battery which thankfully no one had in stock (£98 it turned out not to be the battery anyway)so i borrowed Jody's out of his SM

Thanks to Tripod Dave,Jody and Weeksy who all offered to lend me their bike's for a session,a very nice gesture chap's thanks.
After much fooking about it turned out to be a faulty tilt sensor which i'd already repositioned twice,it got pulled apart and chucked in the van Gear on down to control got noise tested and away i went for the last couple of laps in the fast group,i got absolutely slaughtered on cold tyre's but made up for it with a couple of nice wheelie's over the mountain
Missed the next session due to rain so sat and watched those that ventured out and ended up with a dry track......bloody typical. Last session of the day,camera mounted and i'm away taking it steady (2min laps) 3rd lap slowly getting up to speed as i pass an IL4 who had been braking mid corner every bloody corner,i nip past coming into Coppice then down 1 gear on the exit and start tipping into Charlie's 1 and the front unexpectedly folds on me. Not quick/skillfull enough i hit the deck winded and battered i end up in the ambulance on the way to the medical centre. I'm informed that i need an X ray on my left hand at Louth Hospital,but ask to be taken back to the pit's saying i'll make my own way there knowing it would be a lot faster. Thankfully no broken bone's,just a swollen left hand ,bruised ribs...... again,friction burns to my knee and arm and compression bruising on my face from my Arai after repeatedly head butting the ground x ? i can't remember
Hospital puts me on antibiotic's for the open wounds,helmets bollocked,leathers have a hole in the leg and one in the arm,gloves look like they've been hit with a lump hammer so when they advise me not to ride for a couple of days,i realise that my w/ends over

Tuesday i hobled about and sat and watched everyone having a blast which was good to see ,No Limits have offered me a replacement track day in the future so things were'nt as bad as it first seemed.
Again nice to meet everyone,i had a really good couple of days,looking forward to next year already, i'm still chuckling over some of the highlights
Like the instructor who came looking for me saying "he was going to get black flagged untill he red flagged himself" aledgidly he reckond i crashed due to my front tyre cooling down from wheeling too much yeah right

Well i only made it for the Tuesday so it was a 4.30am start for me and a 2 n half hour drive to Cadders! Got there at 7.30ish to find most of the guys up and about, met all the old faces and a few new 1s and hear all the tales of crap weather, rider offs and all the other BS

Briefing out of the way and im dissapointed you lot didnt disgrace us enough on the Monday for us to get our own section in the briefing AGAIN - must try harder next year, its not called crashfest for no good reason ya no and we have reputations to keep

My day consisted of trying to remember where the hell the track went and trying to regain confidence after all my recent offs! (im no where near the rider i was going back 2 years or so )

I could have done with the extra track time that the Monday would have offered!

BUT, apart from my crap riding it was great to be there for the day and share some banter with everyone, glad nobody was seriously hurt and roll on 2012 where i hope i can rid of the `overtake me` logo i seem to have printed on the back of my leathers

What a brilliant couple of days. My first time at Cadwell, but not my last! The second day was amazing, loved having an open pit lane, there’s another one on the 23rd…….
Was really good to meet everyone, great bunch of people. Food was excellent as well, Tripod Dave’s cooking on the 1st night was extremely good.
See you all on the next one!!

Previously we have had a Crash fest warm up at Cadwell, then the crashfest itself and then Crashfest "return of the fallen" mass trackdays are falling by the wayside by Superduke owners finding cheaper thrills on the enduro circuit so good to have some new faces on board.

Just as long as we have one a year im happy

Time to add my thanks to the guys for a great 2 days at Cadwell. Great cooking, you all made the oldest Superduker there feel like he wasn't quite the slowest guy on track.
Thanks to TJ for bringing up my tyres which didn't even get put to the test cos I was too slow till I had learnt which way the track went. By the time I needed them was too worn out to tax any tyre!
Look forward to next year.
Special thanks to BLB for sorting the driving up and having the skill to fall off his RC8 and stiil be able to drive home! Cheers mate

The funny thing is that just after Ginge got red flagged, we returned to the staging area and I had a discussion with the fat instructor. He asked me which SD was wheeling all the way down to the hut after the mountain and if he did it again he was going home. I did point out that the culprit had done shit loads of days at Cadwell, pulled a wheelie every time he came over the mountain and had never crashed to date (there ). The guy was a bit of a prick and was going on about how it didn't make you fast blaa blaa blaa. He did say that perhaps the reason Ginge had crashed was because his wheel was in the air so long it had cooled down He also went on to say that they had had too many cases to remember of people wheeling all the way down, forgetting about Hall Bends and crashing. Yeah yeah I thought..... and then along came Tom At least you kept it upright though.
TLS_Russ

Yeah..... track days aint no fun anymore, I got pulled off on my last track day at Snetterton on the TLs for pulling wheelies out of Russell`s, well not pulling wheelies, as I tried to explain to the numpty instructor, every time coming out of there crack the throttle in second and it just happens
what do they want you to do ride round short shifting like a pussy why the racers never get pulled off for wheelies
fook I was that close to nutting the stupid wanker

I dont have a bike that does not power wheelie so I cant do track days anymore

Just wanted to add a note saying how much Tom and I enjoyed Cadwell.
It was really good to meet you all and I look forward to doing it all again soon but hopefully without screwing my hand up!
Its a good job that Tom's with me at the moment as he's coming on business meetings with me to change gear other wise I would have to cancel all my meetings!
SD is fine BTW: Kev @ Projex is putting the old race mask on for now but I have plans to dress the old girl in a Ducati 916 nose and tail this winter.

Jody, Any footage of the chase would be most appreciated. Shame you didn't have a rear facing camera as I spent most of the time there Best session I have had on track

Now I'm confused?

Broken leg thingy was on the RC8 special edition grass tracker then?

And Monty was the dude who got all confused and bought a R1 to the superduke do?

Been checking some footage from the 9th in relation to some of my old SD footage from youtube, im quicker through Park corner by a good 7-8mph on the SD and 4mph faster through the old hairpin on the SD, similar speeds through some of the others though.

Hopefully my Youtube footage should be done soon if I have not fecked it up, which I think I have............

Well messed it up, its not in HD and its in widescreen. Took all friggin day!



Cheeky and good overtake by Twisted Jester at the end will get you back next time

Ok then here's my first vid from Cadders, think this was after lunch on Monday. Following Fuel, Gin Reaper and a close pass on Weeksy before the rain came in and threatened to ruin the camera Sorry about the wind noise (can't afford a gopro) , let me know if you would rather it had noise or music mixed over the top?

Got a few more to come yet but not bad as a starter, took all night. Check out the grunt out of Barn from the RC8

What an awesome few days, my original plan to arrive at 4-5pm went right out the window and I eventually arrived about 10pm to darkness, rain and a lot of merry superdukers hanging around a veritable village of gazebos.

After spending an age trying to work out how to fit my awning so I could move some of the stuff out of the way to get my bed down in the van and then once together it constantly falling apart while trying to attach it to the van, Superdan and Motoronin turned up and helped and then talked me out of it, Ronin kindly put my excess stuff in his van for me and I just chucked the canopy over the bike and set about fitting my thermal blinds.

When I eventually finished I walked round the van to find.....Nobody!

I'm thinking the fookers have all gone to bed, but no there is light emenating from Jodys van so I walk over and find the usual suspects all piled in the back.

Monday comes and it's looking quite sunny, I get the bastard canopy up, get the bike noise tested, sign on, get briefed and the rain starts, I do the sighting laps and a couple more then come back in till it drys out a bit which it seems to do for the fast group all day, aside from the first there was only one session that was damp but there was a dry line which got bigger and bigger as the session went on.

Canopy doesn't seem to like any wind and I end up collapsing it on one side and just having it as a lean to.

Sabres bike won't run, Craig is armed with TuneECU and is trying to get it sorted between sessions and eventually after lunch it's running, but not for long as he bins it coming round charlies 1 at about 75, somebody finds out he's alright but heading to hospital, on his return he's a bit bruised and swollen and he says he's not really sure what happened but a closer inspection of the video shows a malteser bag blowing across the grass and ginge is obviously making a dive for it, his hand is swollen cause he was gripping it so tightly so the medics couldn't get their hands on it.

Meat was flowing at lunch time and special thanks have to go to Ronin, The Duchess and Gin for all the cooking they did, we had enough food to feed the entire paddock I reckon.

Another night of alcohol followed along with some bartering with the barely comprehensible security guard over camping fees but he did us a deal which ws a bonus, we could have done with scotsduke to translate though.

Was glorious sunshine on Tuesday and apart from sighting laps I hung about a bit to let the rush die down before I went out, there were BSB guys around this day so it was a bit of a baptism of fire for some of the less experienced track goers as they come rocketing through on your inside line at about mach 4

Ginge is too battered to go out but no limits give him a voucher for another day so all is not lost.

Ducati Pete is eyeing up my orange reservoir caps, he wants some really, he doth protest too much

Came up with the idea to snaffle ginges gopro with Klinck and have double cameras on the bike, then Klinck disappears and comes back with not only Ginges camera but Ronins too and it's game on as klinck and I go out double cammed, we have a really good session with me sitting behind him for a while and then passing and klinck following me only to get back to the pits and find the rear camera on my bike has switched itself off, as it turns out though it recorded 23 of the 28 minutes we were out, result. Now just need to figure out how to edit it all together.

Had some fun with Dan on the Tuono for a couple of sessions too, turned out the Too-Homos extra power doesn't kick in till after park straight finishes so the superduke was right on it's tail hopefully getting some awesome footage, I tried to stay as close as possible to get some good camera shots and then the flag came out and so I figured I better pass him for the video, it was only right

Jody stayed on for Wednesday and kept me company and more alcohol flowed and in the morning Jody now had two places to choose from as DP texted to say it wasn't gonna dry out till the afternoon and so he wasn't gonna bother and Fuel had also decided to call it quits the night before as well.

So we get all the usual out the way, loads of big campers had turned up with slicks and two bikes and wets, the racers were in town, turns out there were 30 in fast and only 15 each in inters and novice

It was soaking wet for sighting laps and I bimble around on my own with an instructor, only 6 people had bothered to come down for sighting and then me on my own, racetecs were squirming coming out of mansfield and round chris curve and I can't wait for it to be over and get off the track

Jody went out next session on his 2cts and I sit it out, then it starts bucketing it down, we wander down to the tyre guy and he'll change tyres for £15 the pair and has some part worn wets for £80 which I thought was pretty good compared to the 12.50 for one wheel I'd paid on tuesday to the other guy, we go back up and jody checks weather with somebody and it's supposed to rain all afternoon now so we decide fook it, lets get some wets on, jody alredy has some he took off so takes his wheels and tyres down while I'm removing mine from the bike.

The tyre guys kid is pissing around a bit doing Jodys tyres as he's too busy talking to his mate and by the time Jody gets his wheels back on and down to assembly the flag is out, the tyre guy has already got my wets out the van and put my wheels resting on them but his boy is not even starting em, then while they're eventually being changed, the fookin sun comes out through a break in the cloud and it's hot and it's not raining, bonus though as the guy says he'll only charge me 70 for the tyres and they look pretty fookin good to me, barely worn, I go out next session but there's just not enough damp left on the circuit to keep a wet line and so I come in after a few laps so as not to destroy the tyres.

We are now praying for rain as neither of us really wants to pay another £15 to change our tyres back again, I need them changed if I'm gonna use it on the road again but decide I'd rather put the £15 towards getting my own stuff to do it myself, so we start packing up a bit and some rain starts coming and looks like it might come down hard but it doesn't last long and so that's it we decide to cut our losses and get an early start home instead.

It was great to see everybody, all the usual crowd and the new ones, also thanks to Monty for the use of his generator for my tyre warmers, thanks to Stupid luke for the lend of the warmers in the first place and thanks to pete for running my cool box off his genny and jody for cooking on wednesday and anyone else I may have forgotten.

Good video m8,i'm surprised the Tuono could'nt pull away from the SD on the straights,maybe with different gearing it might? but to be honest even if it did i still would'nt swap my SDR for a brand new one.

Looking forward to next years 2012 crashfest already,sitting watching you all having a good time was nice,but nothing compare's to being on track

So I should have probably written something up by now. Pretty much everything has been said already!

I had a mega couple of days, arrived 4.30 Sunday to a few arrivals after leaving home at 9am. Didn't rush up, picked Cerec1 up from Bristol 10.30 and drove on up steadily in the blagged van. Great favour from a trade colleague for £50! When we arrived found Ronin, Ginge, Gin Reaper and the Duchess and Razy in Situ and plenty more arrived over the next couple hours. Myself and Cerec erected the Marquee in an hour by which time most had arrived. Unloaded the bikes and joined them up with all the other KTM's and Monty's R1. Truely was a sight to behold!

All made the noobs feel most welcome, really enjoyed everyones company that night but was knackered and went off to bed about 10.30 after some of the best nosh cooked up by Ronin, Ginge and Masterchef Tripod Dave!( + sous chef Tom ) Beers went down a treat too. It was bloody pissing down and blowing a gale but hoped for it to clear up by morning.

Woke up Monday morning, bit chilly and my airbed had gone flat bloody thing. Anyway sunny morning and the track was drying nicely. I was in Inters with Cerec1, TheDuke, Fuel, Schnauzer, Gin Reaper. Had some great sessions out with TheDuke, we were basically the same pace, SDR quicker round hall and barn, RC8 faster round charlies, park etc. I couldn't pass him and he couldn't pass me, Great fun! Tried to get the camera to work for the morning and gave up in the end. Lunch came along with the rain and we completely missed one session cos of the broken tannoy! As others have said it basically ended each session for inters with rain or red flag. Still great day on track all round. Felt sorry for Dave, Duncan and especially Sabre for their misfortune hope the bikes and small injuries heal quickly!

Day ended and the heavens opened again, still had a great night sat around with a lot of cider and beer and even more bbq food! The negotiation with the Jock security guard was bloody hilarious! Anyway about 11pm I was knackered so off to bed on the useless airbed again. We had heard the rumours of BSB and BSS racers being there on Tuesday and I was quite nervous about this so the booze helped me sleep

In the morning I felt rough as hell, I don't think my stomach could handle any more food or drink. Superdan was cooking up the bacon though and I couldn't resist as usual, wish I didn't bother should have just stuck to water and fruit. Just felt ill all day Briefing was good, Nolimits gave us a mention and warned the racers that it was just a trackday etc.

OPL is absolutely the way forward, just sit at the mountain stand and check out the track space then when things quieten down get on out there and come in when your tired. Soooo much space on track and the racers give you so much space. Had a few good sessions out showing off the RC8 power, still think I was quicker on the SD the year before but I've only had the 8 for 2 weeks and this was my first time on a sportsbike for 5 years. Looking at my vids I'm doing a constant 2 minute lap, next year with more rc8 experience I can get that down a bit I think. For only my second time at Cadwell I'm happy with that.

So session after lunch and it all went wrong, out for 20 minutes and something odd happened on park straight going in to the right hander. Bike seemed to stutter badly, managed to slow her down but ran out of road and onto the grass Dropped it before the tyre wall and had my cheapest crash ever! Waited for my red flag ( sorry guys ) watched CEREC1 circulate 2 or 3 times and then got picked up by the recovery van and was signed to ride again if I wanted to.

Had a go at straightening things out on the bike and thought about going out again, but my head said time to go home. Packed up and left at 4.30, home at 10.30 after dropping Cerec home. Sorry to everyone I didn't say thanks or goodbye to, what a great bunch of guys and gals. Thanks to Duchess for taking all the piccies, I look forward to seeing them when Klinck sends my camera home after I lost it for the millionth time Jim you're a lucky man with a Duchess that loves her bikes as much as we do!

Really looking forward to next year, hope it can be even bigger and better next year. Hopefully warm and dry in the evenings too! I'm now top third of Inters pace and would consider moving up to fast now if I know the track. I need to get my corner speed up and trust the bike I know.

Thats my two penneth worth from deepest darkest Somerset!

Here's one of my vids from OPL day feat Monty (briefly)

Just found out today that Jamie and Stew were running a ignition advance map on top of my old map and didn't share it will me the bastards I was wondering why the extra horses didn't seem to showing on the straights. Ok I wasn't running super unleaded which it was mapped with (tight fooker ) but still . All makes sense now We might have to have a scrutineering setup next year with TuneECU being used to check ECUs to avoid such shenanigans

Great Vid TJ, need to learn how to edit my vids a bit better like yours. Gonna have a go tonight and see if I can make mine a bit more interesting.

Looking at your laps compared to mine you're about 5 secs a lap quicker, think the 8 is quicker round coppice, charlies and park and the SD quicker round the nadgery bits like Hall and the Mountain.

Vid probably not best example of lap times though as that session was all about the footage.

Although having checked them properly and feeling pretty good about how I was going, on the 2nd day at least, it seems I wasn't really any quicker than last year perhaps slightly better on average but there were more stoppages last year, my best lap last year was 1.49.6 and this year I only managed 1.50.3

My man the fook up sentence from last year did see me not being as much of a pussy over the mountain as previous years although i don't reckon it made me any quicker in that section

I felt better in different corners this year than last year, this year I was pretty happy with mansfield and coppice, last year it was all about barn and charlies 2 which I felt slower in this year, hopefully next year I can put the two together.

Only actually my 7th and 8th days ever at cadwell and about 14th ever anywhere so I still have plenty of track knowledge to learn, when you read the write up that DP posted from one of the racers they have a lot more going on in their brains than I do, I'm just doing what feels right at the time or learning from other riders I may be following with regards to getting on the power earlier or brake later etc, I don't set any brake markers although I did start using the No 2 board at the end of park but wonder if that may also have slowed me down on occassion as I started then always braking there instead of pushing on to make a pass.

i don't think Jody has been to cadwell too many times either and from our quick scans of some of the video on Tues night he was a good couple of secs a lap quicker than my best lap, I would have thought his aerodynamics would be affected by the massive balls he's obviously carrying around

Still, a good couple of days at cadwell and any circuit is definitely important I reckon to get comfortable with the circuit and learn what you can do and get up to your own base line speed and would improve probably considerably over your first one or two days, then after that, many many many many more days in order to improve further, and more than just two days a year, Monday wasn't great for me at all, a year off and it felt like a different circuit as I tried to piece it all together again and get some confidence back into it.

TBH, I'm not too worried that I didn't beat my own PB time as it was just an awesome couple of days

Ok guys Dan Watson aka Motoronin has agreed to put one of his fab vids together from the weekend. So we need clips. They can be uploaded to my iDisk and he can dl from there. please don't upload huge files of lap after lap as he then has to go through it all and also I only have 10gb of space. Dan'sstyel of vid is very much 3-5 sec clips so no point sending laps worth of footage anyway. Here is an example of his vids so you get an idea of what he needs. Please upload to this address

I only used my camera on day 2 of crashfest and after looking through the footage the best laps are 1 min 50 secs.
I've always said I'm not quick at cadwell and that proves it really!

I wish I'd had the camera on the bike on day 1 as we could have had a couple of fun sd Vs too-homo speed tests on the park straight. Maybe Dan has footage on me popping past?
Colonel_Klinck

Colonel_Klinck

Afraid I only had a camera for a few sessions on day 2 as borrowed Jody's, no footage of me getting my arse handed to me by you im afraid (well apart from Jody).

I think if I had the rear sprocket I wanted to use I may have had a little more poke, but not much.

Maybe I got a slow one

If you fellas send Craigee top clips I'll do you the best vid I can. The clips either have to have decent motion, scenery, human interest or something interesting. I'd rather have it and cut it than not see it. Lining up to go and faffing in the pits clips can be just as interesting as flat out lunacy as I can use them to build to music. It takes me a while to do these vids so patience will be appreciated..
