    I thought the simple way through this apparent conunderance was to go right to the horse's mouth. And so I have. I've emailed the organisers and asked the question cased by Forest.

    But at the end of the day, who cares. A track-day is a track-day! Sure beats sitting around thinking about the next meal for your willie. :--))

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Hmmmm. Interesting analysis, Forest. If it turns out you're correct then I shall be the first to throw a used condom at the organisers.

    But there's another issue here. If what you say is correct, and I'm beginning to see your logic; the schemes smacks of cowboy.

    And so if the organisers are doing cowboy at this level, what will the track-day rules-enforcement be like.

    MotoTT can clearly get a bit anal, but their track-day organisation looked pretty safe to me.

    Hmmmm. We shall see on Jan 17th, cos I'll be there.
    I guarantee it is a two legged draw.

    Attend any Redline Trackday, and one lucky participant will be chosen to have a 1/100 chance of winning a 2009 MV Agusta F4 R312 including a Dainese one piece leather Race Suit, valued at over $45,000.
    One participant is chosen at random, that participant then gets a 1/100 chance of winning the MV Agusta bike.

    You are correct. I got a perfectly civilised reply from Redline which supports your posit.

    But hey! Who cares? Folk spend more on Lotto than the cost of a track day, and the odds of winning anything from Lotto are mind-boggling....at least they are to my mind on account of it could be contained in very small egg-cup. :--))

    Yeah, that's the only thing that concerns me a little.

    I want to restrict my racing to proper club-run race meetings, not go to trackdays to work on my riding and end up in uncontrolled de facto races with red-misting knobjockeys who have no idea how to pass safely or hold their line.

    I note that their website says that they will black-flag riders for mechanical faults, but not for dangerous riding.

    Redline Trackdays appears to be going for the squid market, so... I'll just wait and see how the general feedback sounds after their first few events.

    I just wish someone would start organising monthly track days at manfield as well lol
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    "Red-misting knobjockeys?" J, you have such a way with words. :--))

    I'll ask my new friend at Redline about the BF for dangerous driving. Let's see what he has to say. I'll report back soonest.

    has anyone been to one of these ones before? How much coaching do they give? I have been to track days that say they do coaching but have had zip.

    RedLine Days

    Okay.

    Here's the poop direct from Redline.

    Jrandom, quite rightfully, mentioned what he'd read on their web-site. Ergo: Bike probs would be black-flagged but dangerous practice would not.

    I emailed Darrin at Redline and asked the Q.

    His answer was declaratory. Dangerous driving will be BF'd. And it's one-strike and you're out, material.

    Also, for other than group one, overtaking on the inside, prior to apex will get you a black flag. He makes the quite reasonable point that in group one you should be able to deal with it.

    In groups two and three, there's no inside passing before the apex.

    So far, so good.

    Let's face it troopers. If they want us to go back, again and again, they have to do the right thing; otherwise we won't be going back, eh? Other than Jrandom's Red-Misted knobjockeys.

    Red-Misted Knob-Jockeys. Man, that has to be the expression of the century.
