Performance Plus
NEWS::
Big cheers and shouts or deep joy! For those of you who know about Performance Plus, the doubt of whether or not funding could be found is over, it has been and this excellent program is set to continue. The funding was needed to keep the price of these courses heavily subsidised. We are fully aware that to get people to do something of this nature, it shouldn’t be immediately prohibitive by its price. For those of you who don’t know anything about these courses, a lot of people who have already done them say they are worth the full cost, double what we actually charge. In order to keep it going, after previous funding came to an end, we have had to make some subtle changes, trying to do everything by email saves nearly £3 per person on costs, but what you get is still the same end product.
We can only put 3 courses on in 2012 and there were 142 people on an advanced notice list who didn’t get on any of the 4 courses in 2011. So don’t wait too long considering whether or not you book a place. If you wait until the last minute to check out the weather, you will probably be disappointed. Every course which has run in the wet so far has had the largest reaction, to the learning effects; when you can do it in the wet, dry is just easy! You might go home soaking wet but you will still have a big grin on your face.
What is it about?
Each Performance Plus event day consists of four workshops, run by the highly regarded Hopp Rider Training and Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership staff. It includes intensive skills instruction in the following core subjects, either on the track or in the clubhouse. Of course, there is also time for free lapping to practice at your own pace.
The Four Workshops:
- How to avoid getting it wrong (Theory)
- Machine handling skills (Circuit)
- Defensive riding skills (Circuit)
- Vehicle maintenance (on site workshop)
We have 3 dates for Performance Plus in 2012. The cost of putting on these courses is significant but the saving in terms of reduced casualties is priceless. The courses are heavily subsidised and have still been kept down to still a bargain £85 to have a cracking day at the Cadwell Park full circuit. Each event is limited to 80 places so please book early or contact us to check availability (see above tabs).
2012 Dates
- Thursday 17th May
- Wednesday 4th July
- Thursday 20th September
It’s a long but worthwhile day. We need you to be at Cadwell Park by 07.45 for registration at the latest. The event finishes about 17.15 depending what group you are in. All types of motorcycles are welcome and catered for, although we do have to comply with certain conditions (read the F.A.Q. document under Downloads tab). Bring a pack-up or make use of the excellent food available in the Cadwell Park club house. You don’t have to be a resident of Lincolnshire to do these courses, over the last 5 years previous attendees have spread the word and we have people coming from both ends of the UK, seriously Scotland and Isle of Wight. The day can be tiring and if you are travelling a long way you may want to stay over somewhere. The MotorSportVision Cadwell Park web page has links to local B&Bs and small hotels for you to make use of.
If you are interested in joining us on any of these dates, download the booking form (see Downloads tabs), complete all the information, selecting your chosen date and return the form with a cheque for the required amount to LRSP (See Contacts tab). We will confirm receipt of your application and your place on the date chosen.
