The Snetterton 8th August BMW Club Trackday Thread

[soofsayer]

One month to go folks. I think there are a few of us on this one....

Banners will be on show over the s1000rr forum pit garage if baz wouldn't mind bringing his ladder and some gaffer tape again . All forum members are welcome (plus guests) so get parked up with the rest of us.

A few of us are staying in East Harling the night before and will be in one of the two pubs in the village if anyone wants to join us for a drink/food.

Hopefully see some of you members either at the pub or at the circuit.

Funnily enough, I just booked mine this morning. Only 6 months since I booked the event itself... I am not in East Harling, but will try to join you on Sunday night. Failing that, will try to get space in the garage

Last year's was very good. This year they're compressing the guys (and experienced girls) into two groups to give space for a girls group. Nice idea but may make track a little busier for most of us.

It will still be lower numbers than FE/MSVT/NL.

I didn't know that Rick, I haven't been paying much attention, I presumed it was the same format as every year with three groups. They've only been a handful of women at the previous ones I can't see how he's going to find 30/40? And I don't get the rationale for having a girls only group, plenty of girls ride better than some of the guys I see on track.

The numbers in the groups won't be much different than previous years, if they are significantly higher it'll be my last one.

The forms still list the 3 groups as Cautious, Intermediate and Experienced

Andy - my comments were a response to Skel's comments about the BMW Tyco day at Donny on 20th Sep, not Snetters.

I was also thinking you meant the BMW Club day at Snetterton, thought it was odd. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm in 2 minds about these. Did a Suzuki one at brands. Turned out they ran 4 groups so not as much track time. Think I read there were 160 places for these so 4 groups of 40

 

[GixxerChuck]

Ok ignore above. Thinking about the silverstone / donington with FE as well

I'll be there on the 8th, can't wait! Have a box of crash protection bits to fit, and an exhaust arriving end of the week.

Now fully booked but I'm compiling a reserve list, normally the first 2 get in as there's a drop out or 2!!! R B

Unfortunately I have had to pull out of tomorrow's fun at snetterton. Any forum members going do take some pics and post your experiences - it'll be a great trackday as always with these BMW club days. Enjoy .

 

[RickS1K]

That's a shame soof, hope it isn't a bike issue.

I can't seem to find any of the paperwork for this, I know Robert sent stuff - what time do we need to be at the circuit in the morning?

 

[alex]

I too am unable to attend. Bike still isn't ready. Shame, weather looks perfect.

Registration starts at 0730. This is a good time to aim for. The compulsory briefing starts at 0830. You kinda really need to be there for that.
