Anybody else game for some mid-week track fun next week?!

Zack and I will be there on Tuesday, probably riding I group, but looking for A bump???

Weather looks very good for both days.

I'm hoping to, watching the weather.  I'll be in Intermediate as well.  I'm only running 1:46's so I'm still a little ways from my bump I'm guessing.   :(

 

That being said, I would love to get to the point that I can ride in Advanced sometime this year.  :D

I will throw this out there for the guys with little exp at Mid O. This is Indy Car weekend at the track. Indy leaves a lot of rubber on the track and unless there's a good heavy rain to clean it up some prior to PTR the track will be different than you are used to. Listen in the riders meeting and pay attenion to the coaches and the track.

That being said, I may come out one day with my new track bike to take her for my first ride on it.

New brand, shift pattern, tires, set up than I'm used to and I've not ridden it yet so will likely run I if I make it out. Hell I might even run N for a few sessions, no shame in that.

Thank you, I hadn't even thought about the Indy cars.  With that being said, I will be getting used to a new shift pattern as well.

I have to do at least three more days to get my ten days in so I can qualify for the drawing for the free track days next year.  At least that is the excuse I that I am using to justify all of the money that I am spending.  :D

I'm planning on going one of the two days weather permitting. Whichever day the weather looks best, at the moment it looks like Wednesday. Really hoping my new rearsets arrive in time!

Wednesday doesn't look best from where I'm setting. ;)

Hmmm, thats odd. I guess I'll probably just wait until Monday to make that decision then. Probably walk on in "I". 

 

I do remember running last year the day after Indy cars came through. Lots of rubber chunks built up on the track and some craters where they ripped up the asphalt. Made for a bumpy ride in spots, but I think the traction was still pretty good. I do remember dodging flying rubber chunks though.

I've tried it several times and it never has worked for me.   :(

it just did for me - all upper case "FORUM2014" and got 10 bucks off. Enough for a double cheeseburger, fries, and a shake on the way home!

Maybe it is because I buy gift certificates.  

 

*edit - yep, that is the reason.

Looking at the weather it is showing PM rain for Tuesday and only 20% for Wednesday now.  It looks like I'll be heading up that way after work on Monday.  I should get there around 10:00.  :D

Make sure you also select update too.

 

Thanks, once I put an actual track day instead of a gift certificate it works.  I'm past the ten day window now though so it is cheaper for me to just get the gift certificate.
