Sooooooo, apropos our discussion in the garages about the schedule being too 'car' and not suiting bikes, I've had a go at drafting a new schedule to propose to ARDC for the 11th (and beyond). For those that weren't there, there were only 4 groups, which usually means 5 sessions for everyone, but they decided it would be 4 sessions each but longer sessions. The two before lunch were 20 mins each, and the two after lunch were 25 mins each. We would rather have more, shorter sessions, so the attached gives bikes 6 x 15 min sessions, for exactly the same overall track minutes (90 mins) as the cars.

Thoughts?? Does anyone have a copy of the schedule from the other day? My day finishes at 3:45.... I'm not sure what they had to fill the time.

Edit: Document to follow shortly....

[Ruckos87]

Seems pretty reasonable to me. Did we finish up about 430 on Friday?

[Mr.Ed]

Oh I like them longer seshs... Bike is supposed to be in hibernation mode but now I feel like waking it up

I'm in, have a new bike to test

Happy with what you propose mate, alot less sitting around. The only issue I can see is that they often change the number of groups and schedule, it never seems to be the same but when they do we are usually the ones to suffer.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh!!! You can't just throw that out there without more details and pics!!!!

Yup. There's no missing the mark of A Saad.

Haha yep, got his 'wet' bike that has never been raced and only done 2500km's. We did a few 'quick and easy' swap jobs yesterday that took 3 of us 7 hours!

It's gonna look a bit strange next week but will hopefully go well!

[zoidberg]

Nice one Mark! Does it have the same grunt as his dry bike?!!

Yiewww!! Nice pick-up Mark. Can't wait to see it out on track

[Carl-52]

I was a fan of the longer sessions. Also not a fan of only having 4 sessions... this means i love track time, was this at all helpful? lololol In all honesty tho, the 20 minutes sessions were tops, 25s maybe a touch too long.

[Wolfie57]

[QUOTE=zoidberg;29037]Nice one Mark! Does it have the same grunt as his dry bike?!!

Hahaha I wish!

Steve, I use road shift if that's what you mean? I'm old skool! The Gilles on there are race shift so swapping them over.

[Ruckos87]

Sending mine shortly and Michael Witchard has sent his

[Wolfie57]

I just called and they are going to cancel it unless we get more entries in by lunchtime tomorrow, get spreading the word..........

[Junior]

how many did they have when you called wolfie? I sent mine in already.

[Wolfie57]

She said 4 but I think that was before she found mine and Pete is sending his now so we have at least 6 I think.

[Wolfie57]

Jimmy Davies just booked and Alex C called them earlier so must be up to 8 by now so should be fine

[Ruckos87]

Farrrrrk I'm out ....
Sorry guys

[Mickwitchy]

Pete, Wolfie, Alex, Marshy, Simmo, Junior, Jimmy and myself is 8. Is that the minimum?

[Wolfie57]

Forgot you were on here!

Yeh they usually go ahead with 7/8, for some reason my email didn't send yesterday so they weren't counting mine. I've just resent it.

[Marshy]

ARDC emails have been offline since 4pm yesterday (or earlier), and they are only just starting to come through now. So they don't know how many they've actually got yet. They'll decide on Monday. 8 forms will be enough, and I'm pretty sure we've got that already

Not yet. I'm hoping they are really impressed, and that they are just working out the best way to implement it whilst having it look like their idea.

[Marshy]

Perfect!!!!
