The BMW Club have invited UKBEG members to their 2012 Track Day events.

They're being held at Snetterton on Monday 18th June and Monday 6th August.

The cost is £120 and the regulations state 'motorcycles must be road legal but will not be scrutinised'.

If you would like a copy of the regulations and application forms please send me your e-mail address via PM and I'll forward them on.

Will they be noise tested though Chris? ..........................I know Muffin has absolutely no chance of passing at Cadwell they did test him at 116dB though

116 ...

There's no mention of noise limits or noise testing within the BMW Club paperwork but the Snetterton web site states 102 dba static and 92 dba drive-by for all motorcycles that wish to use the track.

Details shown here

Looks like an 1125CR day then. Not taken it on a track yet although I have been around a couple on 1125Rs. Should be okay for the August date, CJ

Tempting! If they apply the 102dB limit (and I'm sure they will), a closed end on the Supertrapp should take care of that.

Thanks for your interest, 3 sets of forms sent out so far.

You're always welcome to come and stay, Walter. Snetterton is only about 20 miles from us.

Cool i Will look into it

Speedy, I've e-mailed the organiser asking if there's room for you, Walter, GB and me on the June 18th trackday.
Which group would you and Walter want to be in? Intermediate or Advanced? I'll probably go for the intermediate group, as I suspect the advanced group will be full of track day specials and BMW S1000RR's, and the Sporty would get swamped. Snetterton used to be the second fastest track in the UK, after Thruxton, but a new loop in the circuit has probably reduced top speeds slightly and should have made it more interesting.

Intermediate is fine,
as long as i can slipstream your Sporty i'm happy.

Walter, I had a reply from my e-mail to the organiser...

Seems that Snetterton still strictly apply their 102dB limit. Can you get your bikes tested somewhere in Holland? It would be a big waste to come all this way just to get turned away on the day. The noise test shall be measured from a position 0.5m behind the exhaust at a 45 degree angle, with the engine running at 5,000rpm for twins greater than 750cc.

edit: It's ridiculous that twins are tested at 5,000rpm, which is getting on towards red line, when 4 cylinder bikes are tested at 5,500rpm and can rev to more than double that!

That is why I may only turn up to watch...

Well, really don't know where to check the dB (at this moment), but will turn up with my 12 Firebolt in stock configuration. Speedy's 1125 is stock too.

cheers;
