Posted: 20:09 - 20 Sep 2011 Post subject: 2011 BCF Minimoto & Karting - 13th Nov - All welcome! |
|
|
What?
A laugh with other forum members - have a bit of fun, meet people in scary 'real life' and maybe settle some old rivalries .
If you haven't done minimoto before - it's an excellent 'starter' for stuff like track days and 'big' racing; but in a lot safer environment, where you're going a lot slower and only have centimetres to fall and a smooth surface if you do crash!
Sure the same in respect to karting for car stuff. If you're particularly worried about the bikes, karting is pretty 'easy', providing you can hold your right foot forwards .
Where?
Minimoto Racing is just off the M4 Junction 17. Location on google maps here.
When?
Sunday 13th November. Be there at 11:30 for a 12:00 start.
How much?
£30 for one vehicle or £50 for both.
Deposits now need to carry a gaurentee that you will pay.
As the organiser I will be expected to cough up for the total reserved places on the day.
The deposit will be £15 + paypal fees.
Just to make it clear, paying the deposit means your agree to pay the full amount; consider it a loan from, me that will be repaid on the day.
If you need to to drop out for some reason and there's someone else that can take your space, that's absolutely fine , but if you can't find anyone, you WILL owe me the remainder of the money.
Deposit can be bank transfer, cash in my hand or paypal.
Please contact me with your desired payment method and I will send your details.
Whom?
Please reply if you're a maybe.
You will get added to 'definitely' when I have your deposit.

FAQ
What if I haven't done it before?
That's absolutely fine. Just take it easy to start with.
What do I need to bring?
Yourself.
If you've got a bike helmet, bring that too, to avoid the hire ones. Be aware for the minimoto you may crash, so you're more precious about your helmet than your head, either bring an old one or use one at the circuit.
For minimoto, I would also recommend a bike jacket, some sturdy trousers (jeans are fine) and some sturdy but flexible shoes/boots.
Crashing is quite likely to mark your clothing, so don't bring your brand new £200 fashion-trackies.
You need to be able to bend your ankles a fair bit, so motorbikes aren't ideal, but I generally do ok in well-worn (and thus more flexible) army boots.
Can we get food on site?
Yes, there is a cafe and snack machines. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks too.
Can I bring a camera/video camera
Yes, please do.
Helmet cameras are fine too.
How will the day be run?
For each vehicle we will have either two ten minute practice and one race, or one ten minute practice and two races (I fancy a normal race, then reverse grid race if we can ).
Not sure which event will be first, but we'll run one, then the other.
How long it takes will depend on numbers, but expect to be there for most of the afternoon if doing both.
I don't know anyone, are you all weirdos?
Yes, but don't worry, it's generally in a friendly manner!
Do I have to wear a silly tshirt?
It'd be nice if you wore a unique t-shirt over your jacket, ideally with something identifying your forum nickname.
It does make it all the more fun when the person who did the dodgy overtake the lap before know you've got them back, rather than just yet another black jacket!

I need to call them up in a couple of days to confirm numbers.
So far, will be booking it for one person!
So, I need some deposits in.
If it's long standing members with good reputation I'll take your word that you'll cough up or find someone else that will.
If people actually aren't that interested, not too bothered from my side as I've got a hell of a lot else to sort out too . |

I'm definitely in for both karts and stupid, crippling ponce bikes. My cunning two stage plan this year is:
1. Wear better armour
2. Go faster ____________________ 2007 CBF1000-ABS - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

I'll gladly take you up on that offer.
