RHill Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was considering 12th, 13th and maybe checking out the races on the 14th.....but the weather is looking so good on monday it is really tempting me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Murse Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I am considering going to Nelson on the 1st. Need some seat time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I might get in the weekend of the 13th, but right now it seems slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wait, there's a twilight on the 12th? I don't know how I missed that one! I'm watching the weather for the 1st. If it's good, I'll take the day off. The 13th may be doable too, but I'll probably have to leave a little early since there's a concert that night that I'm going to. But the 12th...knowing that's going on may rearrange my schedule. Depending on weather, I could be at any one of those. I have yet to visit Nelson on good tires.

RHill Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'll be trying to make the twilight, kind of curious when they normally shut it down this time of year?I'll be attending Nelson Monday, hopefully there is a decent turnout(never been to a weekday event before).

RHill Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Looking forward to meeting some other OR members!I'll probably park around the same area as last time, hot pitting near the pit entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking off the Nelson site and it lists the Friday twilight, but it doesn't show on the MotoSeries website. I'll ask Todd on Monday, but I'm doubting it is scheduled if it doesn't show on MotoSeries. :cry::cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 It's not on their website or the printed schedule I got back in the winter, I guess it's another group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Had an absolute blast today! Turnout was light so intermediate and advanced was combined after lunch. After 10 sessions I'm beat and so is my rear tire....going to have to flip it for the next trackday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Marty, where all were you posted up snapping photos? The only spot I noticed you was the inside of the carousel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well video from yesterday turned out a little crappy. Switched out my windscreen from black double bubble to stock, so my windscreen mount wasn't an option. Didn't even think to use the helmet mount. Had some trialing footage, but it was either really foggy or no one was behind me. So here is 5 minutes of my semi-improved body positioning. Really need to work on my right hand turns.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiJLhOcS8kU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only spot I noticed you was the inside of the carousel.I was on the outside of 4, inside 7, inside 13, inside carousel. I was damn tired after being at Putnam all weekend. I have them sorted, but need to finish Putnam first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 that had to be a hell of a trip to be at putnam then nelson the next morning.....it is about 7 hours, right?I wanted to go, but it is hard to justify with all the more track time I have. I need to get more seat time and doubling the cost of a track day for gas/hotel and all the other things would cut into that. Grattan is so tempting because the track looks AMAZING, but it is not manageable in a single day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grattan is so tempting because the track looks AMAZING, but it is not manageable in a single day trip.Left work in Willoughby at 3:45 Friday. Got to Ashland around 5:30. Hauled ass until the Ohio border for our first stop. Stopped for dinner in Plainfield, Indiana around 10:00 and got into Cloverdale and the hotel around midnight.Left Putnam Sunday at around 5:15, stopped in Plainfield again, got to Ashland around 11:30ish and home to Avon Lake around 12:45am. Crashed into bed around 1:00 and up at 5:30 Monday.I was amazed that I didn't pass out during lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Really wish I could have caught at least a few of the races after Putnam. But, bike was down and I just turned it in so, I doubt I get any more races or even laps in this season...Good luck, guys and above all, have fun!! Be safe!!!
