I am going to try and get myself installed in a garage the night before. I will try to get enough space for all of us if i can

Does anyone know/have a preference for which garage is best?
I will bring a kettel and some tea bags, so at least we can have a brew

I am going to book - lol, novices
I'll be testing the VFR750 with the dude I am doing the no budget cup with so that should be comedy indeed!
NO 400 for me...I'll see if I can get booked in now...
EDIT
booked in Novice - riding an old skool VFR750 (scared) with a lad called Rob!
I'll see about getting there the night before too - will be in the Friendly Dingo (my old Mondeo) (P905 DTV) and will be hooking up with a lad with a greena dn red golf (crashed)
woohoo...going to be a laugh..the only 750 racebike with warmers in novice group I reckon...lol
Will try adn get moved up for a battle with you lot...keep it slow in the corners etc...
@ chris - mallory gearing will do it, the national track is all corners

Have you been on the 750 before?
I reckon it would be safer to have a few more in the inters than fast guys in the novice group, i hope they do move you up would be good have have all of us in the same group.
Do you think we will be able to kip in the garage for the night, or should i bring a tent just incase?
Is the track grippy?

No, never ridden the 750..
I've seen it but it was in bits..lol
Have asked to move to fast group as I was worried about the other dude but in the end of the day, we're going to race it so he needs to get used to people overtaking and chasing people down
it is not too grippy as I remember and I reckon they might be alright with kipping onsite overnight - might be worht asking them.
I'll bring my tent and kit just in case (want that big airbed too mate

)

well as long as the bike doesn't go home as a box of bits thats the main thing...
glad you got moved, is exspensive to pootle round and not get a proper feel for the bike.
I have spoken to both No Limits and Rockingham track, and the upshot is;
If someone from NoLimits is staying in the paddock then we can stop in there, but NoLimits seem to think that most of the instructors/organisers are local/ish and go at the end of the day.
If that is the case, we can leave trailers/bikes in the paddock overnight and camp in the outfield on the run ito the paddock area. I wont bother brining my Gala tent, as if some of us are camping, we will get first dibs on the garages, so will be out of any weather hopefully
Are you going to be needing the airbed saturday? if not then yes sure, let me know how much you want for it
