No ambulances, no major delays - think they will welcome us back with open arms ;)
I was at a td earlier in the year where the air ambulance was called 3 times!!
Would be good to use them again.

i'm thinking about doing a GJ's trackday but it will probably be next year before i actually do one.
I've already spoke to Mark from No Limits about another date and they'll have us back without any problems but where we go and when we go is ultimately down to Tink.:thumbsup:
How does everyone feel about 102db noise limit/quiet day?
quiet days dont bother me, stock can!

Yea. :thumbsup:
Quiet days are cheaper and easier to book because circuits are only allowed so many noisy ones in a year.
but weekdays are not my friend unless in August!

Scotty , with all due respect dude , some peeps aint got the budget/spare time to pick and choose when / where they go
I am aware we have already done Cadwell as a Junkies day , but we now have newer members that maybe haven't yet , and on a personal note , Cadders is awesome :D
I couldn't give a rat's ass if there ain't any decent facilities there
Each to their own matey :acute:
There was a time when you just started discovering the buzz of doing a trackday don't forget
No-one said it was gonna be a Junkies do fella
Just informing peeps that may want to have a go at one of the most technical tracks in the country , not tick 'em off their to-do list
I hope this does not offend

Fair enough, but Cadwell's not on your doorstep by any chance is it!!!!!!!!!
I was going to put a poll up to find out who wanted to go where but I'll not waste my time and I'll step back and keep my gob shut and good luck to who ever wants to sort the next junkies track day!

I would definitely recommend Anglesey too. Or what about Oulton?
To be honest, as long as it wasn't the last week in Sept, I'd go anywhere :D
Come on Scotty, you da organising man ;) I only started the thread to see how many others were up for another GJ's day this year. Put a poll up Scotty :worship:
I'd be game, willing to travel......

I've already spoken to Mark (NL) about a venue which is a circuit that I'm sure would please everyone, well, almost :whistle: but it's up to the boss (Tink :D) at the end of the day. :D

Yeah sorry I should have been clearer in my first post. I've got a few td's booked on my own but I meant another GJ's track day :whistle:
Come on Tink, I'm sure you'll be up for this :D
Subtle hint as to where Scotty? ;)

I fancy a trip to Oulton Park or Angelsea but tbh I dont mind where we go as I wont be going on the track this year. ;)
We cant make August or early Sept so late Sept or Oct would do us (I may not be able to make it whatever as work is looking horrendous from mid Sept to Feb :(
Were going to the evening at Cadders & I know a few junkies are going & it will be Leon's first time on track there - for £39 it would be silly for us not to go ;)
gonna struggle to get anything this year as they will all be booked solid,
But I recon we'll get pick of the crop for next year if we start proccedings now (and prolly avoid any price hikes)
one of the problems you will come across is the great north/south divide and peoples lack of willingness to travel.
also it really needs to be on a friday/saturday as a lot of peeps (me included) can't get weekdays off work, AND all the hassle of getting all your sh1t together and sorting yourself out for work the next day

Long range planning - 2 days at Anglesey next summer? Nice weekend of it?

I think I might struggle there :whistle: Happy to come and watch and socialise though - never seem to get much chance between sessions
Think that the chances of another GJ trackday this year all to ourselves is pretty much slim to zero due to track availability
best thing is to see what TD's are pretty empty with NL then just block book it and try n take over
Myself and Leon were talking to Mark on Monday about doing 3 days next year
possibly April late June early July and then Sept Mark starts talkin to tracks from October onwards he would also be prepared to take deposits with balance due in full a month before the event
Silverstone is silly money and 70 per group and Donington is getting pretty silly on prices too
Mark suggested Rockingham, Mallory, Cadwell, Oulton and Anglesey which he can a real good deal on if we have a Friday or Monday
I love Cadwell never done Mallory but the only downside to those places are the fact that if the weather is crap there are no garage facilities and Cadwell doesnt have power supply for tyre warmers etc

Luke, what group you in mate? Got a spare space on your trailer?

I have hit 102dB once, otherwise it is usually 103dB+ so a true 'quiet day' - 98dB would be a no for me sorry. No point in putting a baffle or road can on because of the way my bike is set up to fuel :(

Do thruxton do motorcycle track days?
Not so, judging by their website.
I tried calling them but office was closed about the option of hiring the track for a day. Would many people be up for it if it could be arranged?
About time we had a day that's close for us Southerners ;)

AFAIK Thruxton get hit badly with noise restrictions, to such an extent that they are limited on the quiet days they can run.................. also heard a rumour (could well be bullshit) that the circuit owner wasn't a great fan of bikes

Any where soon, have been bitten by the bug big time. Will take the busa again and try a bit harder on the corners:lol:
Oulton Park, 1st Nov. Only £99 less 10% discount AND guaranteed to be no wetter than the first TD at Donington :D
Been told in no uncertain terms that there will be no more trackdays this year for me!!!!
:cry: Save some pennies to get a few in next year

x2 i'd be up for that. Bailey in Dublin (can't remember the name of the street but it's not far off the quays) serve the best guinness in the country according to my tastebuds. I had one after a 3 hour ride with no water and it was unreal :ws:

I'd be up for a couple of days before and after and a couple of days on track.
And it is with No Limits.
Worth sounding out?
when ever where ever the sooner the better. foreign trackday would be great for next year

+1. Excellent facilities, central and the track is relatively easy to learn and not too technical.
Wouldn't do Cadwell or Oulton.
I race at Mallory but don't like it and dislike the facilities even more.
I've done Angelsey and it's superb, but arse-end of the world!

If Irland is on the card defo count me in, and the guinness is always top:mmm:

Why not ?
they are probably the best 2 bike tracks in the country ?
+1 for Cadwell, not tried Oulton yet!

Oulton is like Cadwell on steroids and the place frightens the crap out of me but I'll go wherever the majority go.
No matter where I go it's over 3 hours away! :(

There aren't any in the south west unfortunately. :( Unless you count Landow as south west lol
Jerez 2009. 3 days on track. 3 groups. Bike transportation and four nights 4* accomodation. Expensive yes, but tie it in with a holiday. Start saving now.

Groups? Nah................... Open circuit is much better. Try http://racedays.net/content/view/59/86/
Not a fan of open pit lane. You shove a group of riders of varying ability together on track and someone's ego is going to get in the way. Couple that with having to wait in pit lane until there's a space for you and I'll go with groups anytime.

Sorry to hear about your Open Pit experience; it's a shame but it sounds like it was with one of those organisers who just pack 'em on regardless :acute:
Racedays run limited numbers and with Jerez being big and wide it's not a problem. I have to say, I've never waited for space.
There's a few of us going from here again this year and I've done a few events with them in the past. They do make it clear it's not for novices so I guess there is a bit more parity in terms of riding ability, although Haslam, McWilliams and Neevesy were smoking us all last year (no shit:notsure: )
Most of the Spanish TD's I do are with Spanish TD companies and most run open pit but once again, numbers are limited so it's rarely an issue.
Hope you have better luck if you are ever tempted by Open Pit again.
Know that feeling. I was on track with half the BSB, R1 cup and KTM Superduke racers earlier this year. I can normally run front half of the fast group but they were in a different league altogether.
I'm led to believe open pit lane on the continent is run better than here so may give it a try.

Open pit lane,dont think it would be workable for a GJ track day,to much variation,Have done one(not many turned up)so made it open,also whats the most you could have?60 at a guess,so :ot:

Anywhere! I dont care.... need more.....must get another fix.
im easy, where ever, I havent done many trackdays so its basically all pretty new to me at the mo anyway.
and im another one who being down in the south west means that they are all the other side of the world to me, so its not like I can suggest a close one either.
Soooooooooo
have we narrowed it down at all? ;)
What about..........
Mallory Park Fri 05 Sep 08 - £109.00
Cadwell Park Mon 08 Sep 08 - £99.00
Rockingham Intl Sat 13 Sep 08 - £145.00
Rockingham National Sun 14 Sep 08 - £129.00
All No Limits less 10% GJ's discount
Alternatively what about Donington again?
Donington Park GP Tue 16 Sep 08 - £175.00
or a 2-dayer at Cadwell 11th/12th Oct?
What about..........
or a 2-dayer at Cadwell 11th/12th Oct?
If there was a lot of interest Id do that one, weekend to....Id like to have a go at cadwell and that gives one day to get used to it then one day to get a shifty on. (Or I guess 2 days to stand around in the rain drinking tea, cursing the weather and not riding my bike.)
(I cant do any more from here on in till 19th september onwards.)
Time for a poll? :lol:
Must say, similar to you Jas, I like the idea of having a day to get reacquainted with Cadwell then a day full bore so maybe Inters Sat, Advanced Sunday.
Who else is up for this then?

I really like the sound of it as (presuming we get some ok weather) it would sort of be a nice end to summers riding and its far enough ahead that it gives something bike related to look forward to. Definately need a poll with all the options in the main Trackday forum to guage full interest
oh and dont be a big girls blouse....you can dial yourself in and still do advanced both days - you dont need to drop a group to get used to it, Never been there or looked at any footage of it but Im gonna use my powers of intuition to guess that its going to be a load of corners linked by straight bits.:homer:
