[powerban]

that one doesnt seem like a bad idea.. i may be interested

[Ninja Girl]

I am dying to get on a track and see exactly what my 250 can do in a non-threatening environment, but being new to the sport and it being almost 20 years since my husband has done any racing, I have no idea what to expect or how it works.

I see by the link that there is the option of Novice, but on this particular day do they seperate the rider levels or is it just a free for all?

Convince me it is 'safe' and I just may convince my husband to go.

Oh yeah! I felt like I started feeling it later on when 1)my tires were roasted and 2) when fatigue started kicking in

Thanks for the clearification-I meant Sept 4th! I already got tires and my steering head bearings! (thanks to Buymoto) so chain n sprocket are the only things I need!

I want to hit up Willow Sept 4th and Pahrump Nov 13th and 14th!

Hopefully the '05 Tacoma will be out and about! ;) :wub:

I'm signing up this Wed! Intermediate Group! :woot:

[cbr619rr]

cool... do u think i can hang with intermediate group??? hmmm...

[Arnold_R1]

Originally posted by cbr619rr

"Intermediate Group: This group is for people with enough track time that they are comfortable at an accelerated riding pace up to the beginning racer. Riders in this group will probably want to focus heavily on body position, setting up for turns, the racing line, and advanced throttle/braking control. Instructors will be available upon request whenever possible. Safe passing is permitted with at least 6 feet space cushion. The track tempo is intermediate to fast. No licensed racers permitted in this group unless cleared by Sportbike Track Time Staff. Riders in this group MUST wear a back protector."

I think you'll be alright! I noticed when some of the Race Group came out, I kind of picked up the pace. Same might hold true for you!

P.S- Make sure you get a back protector. . . and perhaps a CHEST protector too :pray: :eek: especially after what happened at Fontana!

[cbr619rr]

cool... i'll be signing up in intermediate... and yes...i do have a back protector...

how much to get a garage? I think we have to get there really, really early.

Sean, we rolling!

[powerban]

thats it, im in! woohoo. hopefully my dad's 85 toyota pickup can haul my 6 up there and back. Still contemplating about sleeping up there or leaving san diego at 3am or so.

[cbr619rr]

we can either sleep at the track, get a hotel, or leave at 3 am (there shouldnt be any traffic at that time)...

so who's down for the garage? and so who's going? LOL

[cbr619rr]

so...i just called Willow springs and they said that they still have a couple of garages open...

PRICE: $150 for the weekend (they do not rent it out just for 1 day)...

so i was thinking that we can look for someone who's going on sunday and ask them if they wanna half it??? do any of you know of anyone who is going on a sunday???

and who is down for this??

[cbr619rr]

ok... an update...

TURTLE (of SCS) is hooking it up with one day rental for the garage... so we'll be next to the SCS peeps... cost is $75... so who's in?

[03 Double R]

I'll split it with you guys.

[Knightshade]

hmm...frickin hell...I think I want to do the Saturday date..anybody got space in their trailer for a SVS? C'mon..it's a small bike!!

I'm pretty sure the truck I usually use for this sort of thing isn't going to be available...grrr..

[powerban]

hey marv. how is this working out. 150 for the weekend..and you found someone to take sunday while we take saturday right? so its 75 split between how many. 4-5? are you down to leave here at 3am?

[cbr619rr]

ok... im signed up!!! WOOHOO!!!

now i gotta worry about transportation... dayam

[Jelco]

ima sign up thursday... only one day huh??
im also in for the garage-

marv, seems like its just you and me that need transpo.... i can ask my buddy again if we can use his trailer if youd like, do you have a hitch on your suv???

now i really need a back protector

[cbr619rr]

hey jon... yeah... i have the hitch assembly, just need to buy the ball part for it... dont know which size to get tho... but yeah... i can drive up there if you find someone with a trailer...

[Jelco]

the trailer we used needs a 2" ball. ill call today and see if its available---

[Jelco]

did you guys pay online? i cant seem to checkout- i tried calling and got a voice mail. i wanna do intermediate and not have to jump up to advance.

[cbr619rr]

yeah..i paid online... and got a confirmation... its cool... i'll get a 2" ball today or tomorrow

[powerban]

walmart sells the trailer balls for 6-7 bucks. pretty cheap. they also sell the ratchet tie downs, a set of 4 for 20 bucks. might wanna check that place out.

John, are you gonna borrow that 6x12 trailer again? or you gonna use the smaller one?

[54eastR6]

Not to side track anyone, but Fastrack Riders has a track day on
Monday, Sept 27th at Willow Springs for $169. I really want to go on 9/4 but responsibility calls.

hey ed, ill get back to you about the 27th----

damn, trackdays are like crack, --but not as expensive and the high last all week.

[Knightshade]

I might be able to borrow a trailer, it's a modified dirt trailer. we were able fit 3 SVs in it. two s models and one naked...had to use ALOT of foam though.

I just don't have a way to transporting it..ya know?

[Knightshade]

i still have my originals after 42K miles......

you should try to find someone who is willing to swap forks for you for the weekend...........that way u could blow off doing the seal for awhile

[Philo]

Oh come on, $30-40 and 2 hours.

[Knightshade]

ya, ya..I know. I've actually ordered the replacement parts..but I'm not going to be able to go anyways. Vet bills in excess of $500 the past two weeks is the key reason.

Lesson learned, never take home a stray kitten. Get one from the pound that is healthy, fixed and has their shots.

Aw man, that's awesome of you to do that. I've fed stray dogs and taken them to the Humane Society, but I've never kept one.

[Knightshade]

he's a great kitten..or at least will be when I'm able to take his aggression down a notch. I think it will all be worth it when he and the other animals that are sick because of him are healthy.
