£22 for the day - that's cheaper than I was expecting - might have to take mini-me for a little day out :thumbright: (esp as she gets in free!!!) :D

Thruxton is at the end of May-29th-30th-thinking of riding down the length of the A272-one of the best roads in the south!

Went to Brands, Going to Oulton on Monday. Usually go to thruxton as its a nice ride down. Its also cheaper than the others as its not an MSV circuit.
also we are doing Knock hill this year as part of a Scotland tour. Cadwell is good too.

MSV of course run the series, so I'm almost surprised there are any non-MSV tracks involved. Brands and Donington 4 times a year anyone? :lol: OTOH, at least we have a British company "supporting" British racing.

Might well go to Donington. Fens are a bit far for me.

OK - having never been to Thruxton before ..... what are the viewing areas like? Is it enough to just get a general ticket, or should I get grandstand tickets too?

Havn`t been there since the early eighties but from my addled memory I`m sure viewing is good Jak,I wouldn`t go to the expense of grandstand seating myself:

Working AGAIN Jak,plus it`s a hell of a trek for me!
Seeing as I missed the Sheene Memorial at Olivers Mount last weekend(anyone go?)I`m trying to secure time off WELL in advance for the Cock`o`The North races there on the 11th and 12th of July.
I`ve got the Bob MacIntyre memorial races soon(13th and 14th of June)at my home circuit,East Fortune and I can`t wait!
I`ll likely get to Croft and Knockhill for the BSB rounds though.

:D Olivers mount Sheene memorial was brill, Ryan Farquhar was outstanding, and apart from one rider catching his bike (race red flagged!), all riders played their part, will definately go again. Need to sort adjustable span clutch out first though as a 4+ hour journey would be hell off the main roads due to wrecked wrist ( and no Cobba not what you think lol!).
