My first every race meeting was with nolimits Endurance earlier this year. I was sharing a zx10r with mate though we did have a third rider on another bike so it was a tag race. Another team were doing the whole 6hr race on a single RC45 refueling, tyre swaps the lot. They had 2 novice riders.
I will check on this today and get an answer as we will be happy to have novice racers if we can and it is deemed safe as there are novice racers who can cook it on track and those that are really learning but can be a hazard and safety always comes first :).

Appreciate what you do mate. See my later comment about the cost :-)
Seems a lot until you break it down a bit.
If any of you have any questions please feel free to mail me and I will answer them (or Darin) will.I will post up some info over the next day or so as to what will be going on over the race weekend.
Cheers

No problem at all,we enjoy bringing all of the diffrent folk together at our events.Nothing better than a weekend with happy custoners.
All the above is subject to VAT as well,one of the reasons we split Classic bike track days away from Endurance legends so we do not have to add VAT to your track time (it's all very blooming complicated) and tthis allows us to give the weekend it's own identity.
We believe that this event is needed in the UK track calendar where track day riders,racers,spectators and all of you that spend hours in the workshop with your babies are equally as importation as each other and you all become an integral part of the show.
There are lots of exciting facets to the event and we really hope you all at Oss will be there in one form or another.

I'd love to enter this, but I'll not get my licence upgraded to clubman in time.
It seems odd that I can do a 6hr endurance on a modern 200hp bike on my novice licence, but not race a 30 year old Suzuki 750 on it???
OK the Acu rules do not allow clubman novices to do an endurance race,if you are running two bikes (tag race) I believe you can but I am not sure as we have only looked at endurance racing.
I will however check again to see that we have the correct information.

Yes,we put the Snetterton event on,Donington invited us to race there.

If I recall correctly the german Classic SuperBike also rides here! It could be cheaper to just be a guestrider there?
Unfortunately the Csbk will not be with us as they could not get enough riders to fill a competitive grid which is a real shame as we would love them to be there.

What happens if the first rider bins it in the first session, game over and the two other riders are out of pocket by £330 each. motorcycle racing unfortunately is one of those occasions where the clowns pay to entertain the crowd . but seriously I have 4 bikes that I could use for this but that entry fee is ott.
Well if you can dont bin it,it happened to Phase one at Snetterton but its 4hrs,take it easy and get into the groove,there are lots of tactics to endurance racing,that's what makes it such an exciting team event.
For a 3 man team the time on track of 6hrs is not as expensive as you think.4 x10 lap races at Donny with the classic club for example will be about the £250 mark meaning about 45 minutes to an hour track time.Shold you race the Wheat croft trophy too you will be in the region of £325 ish.

with a £995 entry fee I doubt we will bother , there are much better things to spend a £1000 on , Classic TT no entry fees really I must check that out
The classic Tt is not free to everyone who races and of course you have the cost to get there.The Manx Government off set the cost for the Classic to bring visitors to the island as it fills small businesses pockets although we were lead to believe they lost a fortune last year.

Shit the bed thats expensive
It is expensive you are right but when you consider the full infrastructure to put the event on will cost myself and Darin 90k to put on and we do not get the gate money.
Donington on a weekend is pricy to hire,on top of that we need 3 extra ambulance per day at £500 a unit per day.
2 x Doctors £500 per day
Fire crew and fire £500 per day.
Pace car plus drivers £500 per day.
Acu affiliated club plus staff £15k.
Track hire 40 k ish for the weekend.
Plus extras.Bands,TV, marquees,staff to help etc etc the list is huge.
So as you can see we are serious about what we do and how we see the event,a massive risk for just two mates to put on this event.
For us it is far easier to just do track days but we will always struggle to get premium tracks at weekends as the circuits want events where they can take the gate money.

Aint she a babe :).Fboab i will ask Darin and see if we can do the parades at lunchtime i am sure we can,lets get all the peds and chicken chasers out

Just so you know,we have kept the price the same as last year for the track sessions even though the track has again gone up in price,you would have a kitten if you knew how expensive it is, plus the extras such as doctor,extra paramedics,the band and we cover the cost of the camping.Cadwell always charge for camping even though we are spending somewhere near 40k with them so to save the hassle we just pick up the bill and hence it being free for all
.The magazine (Practical Sportsbikes) do not contribute monetarily in anyway it is all down to me and Darin
