Well I've decided for my benefit and yours to leave my bike at home for this one. The foots not right and the whiplash from donny aint getting much better. Was going to go and ride round at 80% but that's not good for me or you guys as I'd hate to be the cause of someone elses accident. Its almost certain that jay will be taking my place on track whilst I will pop up with my camera and take photos all day long. Gutted I can't ride with you lot but aint going to miss out on the craic to a few poxy injuries
OK - we've charged all the credit cards and every one went through first time so thanks for that. Biggest prize goes to Colin as we slapped his 13 places - nearly the record !
We've the final group sorting out to do and I need to double check everything again. Don't worry you're all in - Friday's all but sold out as well, it just does your head in checking 26 names x 3 groups x 2 days across several spreadsheets. Not counting checking your thread names as well...
I'll be posting up more latest info between the weekend and the event so please keep checking back here.
On a different subject....if you don't know....
Phil and I formed Phil Bevan Trackdays back in 2001 / 2002 - basicly to help fund his racing efforts. All the monies raised go directly to Phil. All the support staff and Instructors give up their time free of charge. We have been working together for over 10 years now, my basic role was to coordinate his racing, marketing, sponsorship and trackdays. He's progressed over the years from running a 955 Ducati / Gixer 1000 / Ducati 996RS / R1 with North Gloucester to New Era / MRO / and finally BSB Superstock with Coordit Performance. This year he's running NG and hopes to get some BSB races later in the year.
Over the years we've been fourtunate to have many sponsors - JHP Ducati / Shell Oils / Dunlop / Avon / Roof Helmets / My Own Music / Pembrey Circuit to name but a few, but without the trackday riders booking our events it wouldn't happen. Since the ''Credit Crunch'' our trackdays have become more important as we all know getting sponsorship is extremly difficult.
Both Phil and I very much appreciate the continued support from the whole of the ''South West Bikers'' forum and would like to thank you all for booking ''Phil Bevan Trackdays''.
With your cooperation and respectful riding we can all look forward to a successful and safe day.
Thanks guys, that is really nice to hear. you guys organise cracking and safe trackdays and thats one of the reasons we keep returning so thankyou to you.
On another note,
i have a spare baffle i'll try to remember if anyone needs it.

Can see where your coming from mate hence why i suggested leaving it so your 100% for Donny as my other suggestion about having a steady one at Pembrey for the confidence issue i can't see you getting in peeps way as your pace is fairly quick anyhow and we are having a really mixed Inters group this year.
Great that your hopefully still going to make it up matey even just spectating.
Don't worry you'll get back on that horse even if i have to force you Just sort some gear out ready for Donny pal
Cheers buddy. Spoke to the insurance company today and they need photos of my gear and like for like replacement prices from the shop where I bought my kit from and then they'll send me a cheque for new gear and I go shopping
Spent a hour in the dainese shop in bristol today and am pretty sure I know what suit and boots I'm getting. Gloves are already halfway are across the atlantic and should be here soon. Helmet will be ordered in fowlers tomorrow and hopefully be here mid july. Will see you at pembrey and be out on track at donny I hope,you never know I might even have mrs deej out in the novice group but might save her for pembrey the following week
