Thread: PI Double header in April

  1. #1

    PI Double header in April

    I'm very keen to do one of the 2 double header day at the Island in April and looking for company

    Monday 1st and 2nd...Easter Holidays which will make accommodation expensive?

    Thursday 25th - 26th...ANZAC Day which could turn into a 4 day weekend for the Mexicans


    anybody else want to fill in a quiet racing month

    through KSRC Nelso was trying to get a trip up and running but it fell over, I'd go alone if it wasn't for the safety factor of being so far from home if you couldn't drive, oh and the accommodation cost sharing benefits

    Although apparently it's extra for the garages. I recall someone saying that it's actually LinFox that charges for the garages, although that surprises me quite a bit if true. Surely it would be much quicker and economical to simply levy PIRD with a garage fee directly.

    Again, it's kinda odd that someone comes around and collects it.... But then again, you still have conductors on trams down there in Mexico, right?

    I was talking with Turner today about this event, and we decided that we can't afford ($$ and time) to head down for this one. We've already booked for the Pirelli race in August, so are looking forward to that.

    And congrats Nelso and Leanne on the house!! I saw it on FB, it's beautiful!!

    We have room in the cars, but would need another double bike trailer to use instead of one of the singles.

    If you have a 2 bike trailer to use, the rest will be no prob.

    Cliffy that's handy, as long as I see a practical(least amount of inconvenience to all) way of getting my shit back home if I can't drive, it makes me feel comfortable about driving down by myself

    It's only got a double garage at the moment, but the plan is to build a triple or 4 car shed in the backyard for the bikes.

    Better do something serious about this one before all the racer spots are gone, who's going and who's staying where and do you have any bed spots left?

    Booked in plus 3 other riders.
    My ute and 2 bike trailer, one sedan with a single bike trailer (possibly plus 2 non riders) and another sedan with a single trailer who is staying down there for a few extra days after.
    Booked at waves. Not sure about beds left over, 2 rooms booked and waiting to hear if the non riders are going.
