The club has just announced the dates for next year (2010)

This what the club posted -

We now have the dates for next years ARD's here at Odiham:

Monday 31 May (Bank Holiday)
Saturday 17 July
Sunday 05 Sept (Provisional)

So as you see, we have 3 dates next year which means even more track time for you all!

These are obvioulsy a long way off and we will announce more information about them closer to the day. At this stage however, it is intended to open the applications approximately 2 months before each date.

Hopefully will see some of you guys there!!

I live around 20mins away from the track, if i can get the track bike sorted ill come for a session up there but i did manage to stack last year oo well joys of joys haha, Needs parts for build still tho as 17inch rear wheels are becoming a problem and also getting chance to get bike to a dyno center which i atucly have no idea where one is around here ( Farnborough / Guildford way)

Looks cool, although i can see me taking the escape route through them straw bails a few times

thats the cool thing there is loads of run off if you need it - the track may be changed a little down at that end of the runway too - it runs on concrete there (not too grippy) you can get your knee down but it really slows all the bikes down too much - we only trialed it at the last track day - so it may go back to another turn about 200 metres or so before that one which is tarmack and grippy and smooth!!!!!!!

ha dont worry both me and smev have tested out the run off, that concrete section was sketchy last year, I was taking the left right flat by the end of the day in the fast group but I was never sure how much grip their was

Odiham ARD's are great cheep loads of track time and good people and fun (different) track, the first one I may be at (if I dont go to ng pembrey, same day) second one definetly (good testing before pembrey again with ng weekend later) and probably september too.

hopefully I wont get completely spanked on the near mile long strait this year tho on my race bike, kev you bike always passed me like a steam train their recon you had the quickest 400 in a strait line, impressive for a road bike

everyone try adn make it their as its always a good day and getting bigger and bigger each time



oh and those bails are lethal, wacked them with my knee a fair few times taking my leg clean off the peg, bit sketchy when you fully cranked over

As Spike says its a good cheap track day and it is getting bigger - At the last one Buildbase Kawasaki were there with their bikes (running at the front of the fast group!!)

not sure if/who is gonna be at the next one!!

the concrete bit is a lil bit sketchy but we were all getting our knees down and following pretty close - There are actually two bikes in the pic below!!! Spike first followed by me - you can just about see my hand and shadow behind!!!

Thanks for the pic from Pole Photos .co.uk too!!

The bails aren't that bad!! the alternative is to hit a runway light!!!

As for my bike being quick - it may be a lil bit quicker next time with the few mods I'm planning!!!

I love that pic dude, wasnt til the third time I looked that I saw ur crash bung and noticed you were behind, yeh james hillier and scott smart were their tearing it up on kwaks last time , 150mph wheelies down the strait anyone? they were a few clouthing and company stalls and even a wheelie school with a ring to practise on in between track sessions
