Oooo I'd love to do Donnington. How did you get the email, can't see where to sign up for mailing list?

I can't afford anything else this year, but would look at booking for 2011....

I'm no track day rider but really great to see the track has come back to life.

One more for me to tick off in 2011.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to try and do Oulton Park next year, never done that one, plus a two day even in Spain, plus Spa !

I'll do all those with you, if we can co-ordinate it all J.P.
Anglesey is another one I'd like to try, perhaps hire a van and do Oulton/Anglesey back to back?

I see that Anglesey is in Wales. Not sure about Wales, that's a different country.

Hi JP,
Can you let me have the details for Spa next year when they are available?

It's less than 100Km from the Nurburgring, never ridden Spa despite going to the Ring for 8 years so would love to join you there.

Sounds like the making of a good club weekend, I would happily organise a day at the ring and accomodation there for those that would like to do both

They also have mobile chicanes called sheep

I know it's silly early, but I'm probably looking at doing this,
http://www.bsbeurotracks.co.uk/events/index.html

The Almeria racetrack in Spain, April 20th & 21st. Hotel, bike transport, Open pit, and max 45 bikes, all for a reasonable £699, plus food & plane.

Did I hear those magical three letters?

I'd be up for Spa next year

I'd like to wait for the DNE/bikerdays event in May for Spa if possible, this year's was great. I'm sure the Belgians will keep us in the loop again.

Do they allow 'other' bikes on that day?

ah, no... I see your point Mr Crust.

ah, no... I see your point Mr Crust.

I might enjoy giving the Monster a hard time but even I draw the line at: me + that place + my aging M900

I could always spray the 'other' one red

Spain could be interesting, nice birthday pressy from the missus, thats an idea, keep us posted if you can JP

sounds a bit steep to me J.P

I know these are this year, not next but, 3-4 days for way less.

I did 4 days open pit lane at Cartagena with Focused in '06, £700 for everything but food (hotel, bike transport, flights and shared hire car)

My inclination is to get a list of who's seriously interested and then see if we can negotiate a group discount when the usual suspects announce their 2011 dates.
Taking Crust's point about Spa, I'd welcome any make of bike, the more the merrier sharing van hire etc.
If we're doing Belgium & Spain, Wales shouldn't be too scary, Anglesey's like Philip Island but closer and wetter, it's the 5th gear track.
(Quite a contrast, I think there's something like 80% chance of rain at Spa & Almeria is Europe's dryest track)

Considering I've had a tight year this year I'm showing signs of actually having some disposable income again! As such I'd be very interested, willing to stump up deposit this year also if required.
