I've never done Cadwell. It is supposed to be a favourite with many riders.

Yeah Cadwell has reasonable amenities for camping and there is a canteen / bar which is usually open on the evening for race weekends but I'm not sure on Trackday weekends.
No garages though so need a genny for ya warmers and a strong gazebo etc if you want shelter. |

Re: SV650.org trackday 2017? Would it be a go or no-go?
The BMW club do Cadwell and Snet with MSV, iirc they register interest with MSV who provisionally hold the day for so long, this lets them get numbers in, which also impacts the price paid...Usually this is on a Monday. They book the whole day and then have groups depending on how many sign up. Last time we had two groups and longer sessions rather than 3 groups as there weren't enough inters/adv to split so they were lumped together.
It works well every time I've been. Ste

Ste, are the BMW days the ones organised by Robert Bensley? I think the rule is road bikes only, preferably ridden to the track (trailers/vans cannot park in front of pits), no tyre warmers etc? I've heard they are well run.

Re: SV650.org trackday 2017? Would it be a go or no-go?
Ok then folks, how about trying to sort something for this year. The problem is going to be getting a weekend trackday at Cadwell later in the year. Can all the people interested make a weekday with enough notice?
For example No Limits are there on the 30th and 31st August which is a Tuesday/Wednesday. They are running trackdays both days plus an evening one on the Tuesday which means if you are really keen you could get out for a warm up then...... It also means there is likely to be a presence at the circuit overnight so easier for us to stay? I've no idea how much space they still have but if enough people are interested I can give them a call and find out. What are peoples thoughts? |

Depending if this is a SV exclusive event or not, I could probably get a day off. Have to be honest, 31st Aug is my wedding anniversary but that shouldn't affect any arrangements for you guys. Will hopefully do a couple in the summer and will post in the TD section

Balky, yes they are and they are very well run (I'm even allowed to go on the street trip). They are road only but some are trailored and there have been some track bikes, but I think it depends on which group you are going in and if you speak to him beforehand.
They group you based on honest answers and I have seen then giving a telling off to people who are being a bit daft, including instructors. Otherwise there are never any real issues, maybe 2 red flag sessions in the last few years.
