why not just put it up at the same price everyone pays....on the reserved riders list??

**Qkchk:Me** · 18th April 2006, 17:27

Is this still goin Frosty? Cause I could be cheeky and say I'll up you to $70

**FROSTY:Me** · 18th April 2006, 20:23

its definitely running--Basicly Madduck wants to make a contribution to team FMR for the national attack next season.

seems odd that your doing this when you hav people on the stand by list for people that pull out....it even seems alittle devious frosty...sorry...but a few people who hav seen this thread hav said the ssame to me...

her call .-Stand by people had a chance to book earlier-this is a chance to get a definite place at this late stage

There is nothing devious about this at all Mr Poos. Basically I bought my space like everyone else did back in ....ummmm lets see! Yes Jan because I wanted to go on the track. I havent missed one yet.

Out of the goodness (foolishness of my heart) I offered to help Frosty when he was stuck for admin people. Asked him to auction off my place as I dont tend to get on line much these days.

Perhaps the people that have expressed concerns with you should have bought a space when I did

It was not an easy decision as I would love to be out there and felt if I cant be then maybe the team can benefit.

If anyone has an issue feel free to PM me. This was not Frostys call BUT MINE!

Shit, shit, shit wadthehellamigunnadoonow???
OK, my 'sickle has finally arrived from OZ (it's snoozing in a crate as I write this while I'm stuck at work for the next coupla weeks). It's no problem getting it track ready when I get home but I won't have thrown a leg over for some 3 months. I'm gonna have to get her prettied up for the entry certifiers quick smart, so I can get some miles under my bum.
The $64,000 question (OK, OK $50 question) is this:
Do I bid on the auction or go on the standby list, given that there are at least 4 names on the standby list already?
If I bid and lose I'm gonna be that much further down the standby list by the time I realise I've lost and get on it, but there is a chance I could win and guarantee entry.
Or even if I go on the list now I might still miss out all together.
Or I could go standby now AND bid on the auction in which case I'm adding $50 to the auction price IF I win (non-refundable deposit).
I'm a KB track day virgin so I'm hoping someone can tell me the chances of getting a call for duty while on the standby list. Given reasonable weather do you get many reneged bookings PRIOR to the day?
Aaaaah fuggit, this is too hard....I think I'll just stay ay work.....
