View Full Version : Cadwell "to take" list
Ok I know it's a little way off yet but if your memory is anything like mine it's good to have a list of things to bring with you to the trackday in April.
this is a list JUST for the trackday itself NOT for the nights camping before OK ?
In no particular order
I'll start it off and if I miss anything off PLEASE PLEASE add it .
MOST IMPORTANT TAKE BOTH PARTS OF YOUR LICENCE !
1. You - As you will be needed to ride number 2.
2. The Bike - So number 1 has got something to ride
3. Keys - very important
4. Alarm fob - as important as the keys
5. Extra fuel - don't want to run out and it might be expensive at the track if there is some there.
6. Leathers - 1 piece or 2 piece zip together at least 180 degrees.
7. Helmet - ACU gold stickered please (no simpson Bandits !)
8. Boots - keep those tootsies safe
9. Gloves - keep those pinkies safe aswell
10. Tyre warmers - Very useful if you have them, to stop cold tyre mishaps
11. Generator - for the tyre warmers as Cadwell hasn't got pits to plug them in
12. Paddock stands - front and rear if your using tyre warmers
13. Tools - just the basics no need for impact drivers and windy guns !
14. Gaffa tape - for taping lights,fairing panels and small children down
15. Kettle - and all associated items (tea,coffee,milk,sugar,water)
16. Snacks - to keep energy levels up
17. Bottled water - to keep fluid levels up
18. Camera - to preserve the day for posterity(plus spare batteries)
19. Video camera - as above
20. Ear plugs .......I always lose 1, so a spare pair too
21. Anti fog visor spray or visor insert
22. Cable ties various sizes, handy to put things back together if anything breaks
23. Any spares ie footrests again just incase
24. Map, if no gps (well I used to need one anyway)
25. Consumables like oil, chain lube etc
26. Foot pump
27. tyre pressure guage
28. wets on wheels ! + spare tyres
29. Money !!!
30. spare knee sliders in case you loose any or wear them out ??
31. spare brake/clutch levers "just in case"
32. Something to sit on between track sessions ....Fold-away chairs type of thing
33. Spare T shirt, a towel, and some BO basher
34. Back protector - Very useful bit of kit

Didnt know I had to take "both" parts of the license glad u made this post now, tho cant see me fitting half of what you've listed on the back of the bike when i set off lol :p
sleeping bags
I know your not that fast Tink but I'm sure we won't need sleeping bags while we wait for you to finish you laps :lol:
As I said in the first post (don't you just love it when people post without reading the first post) this is for the trackday itself not the night before !

Jase what u on about !!!!!!!!!!!!! stop making up quotes of things I havent said :acute:
There is a small petrol station down the road but and its a big but It looks like a run down hill billy site and takes cash only, is unbranded fuel and the way it looks I doubt it will be open on a Bank Holiday Monday
In the past i have filled bikes fuel tank ( this was on the SRAD) used all that then I also take a 20l jerry can but dont use too much of it

:lol: opppss yeah sorry folks i'm off out now anyway:)

Foot pump
tyre pressure guage
visor cleaner, lot of bugs with suicidal tendencies round there
Something to sit on between track sessions ....Fold-away chairs type of thing
Ear plugs .......I always lose 1, so a spare pair too
Maybe one that just applys to just me ?... I always end up with a headache so i make sure i have some Paracetamol with me.
right im new to this track day thing, is ur normally insurance valid on track days do u need any or is it covered by the orgainisers, couple of my mates said if u ring up ur insurance company they do it for extra 40 quid or sommat,(im a biff havnt got a clue) and any noise restrictions

Spare pants for after being on the track :blush:
Think the day's limited to 105db peo
Re insurance, you're on there at your own risk, you can get track insurance from some companies though

If anyone needs earplugs let me know before the day and i will get a scuttle full

Jase
i think number 20 needs moving up the list or at least make it nice and bold.
if people forget the other things (bar number 1 and 2) then they will still be able to get on track, no licence though and they are done for.
Something very important to remember at a track day!!!!
There is always, somebody quicker than you, and always someone slower, so one thing you don't need to take, is your ego.
Something I always forget, which I kick myself for, is my extension lead for my warmers.
Spare T shirt, a towel, and some BO basher in case your lucky enough to have a hot sunny day, and nobody want's to hang around people dripping with sweat at dinner time.
don't forget spare pants for after the 'MOUNTAIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: don't forget spare pants for after the 'MOUNTAIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:
If the one in the village is closed heres the next closest one to caddy
From Cadwell , turn right out the gate
Follow that road till you come to Louth bypass
Straight over the staggered t-junction
Follow that road for about a mile to traffic lights
Straight over at the lights
Esso garage on your left after 1/4 mile
Open from 7 am till 11pm
PS Turn left at traffic lights then right just after zebra crossing and that takes you right into town centre
Plenty of decent chippies,indians,chinese,thai and cantonese takeaways/restaurants
Bonus = Louth has alot of pubs as well
If anyone gets there and forgets anything give me a bell (post mobi number nearer the time)

Anyone bringing fuel in cans should bring a fire extinguisher too. Some folks will have em (I always take one) but best not to rely on others.
