Hey folks, any tips I should know to have a comfortable first weekend at the track?

Is there a particular spot you all plan to set up at Cresson? Or is anyone going to fly the FWMR banner so I can spot some of you?
I'm thinking about bringing a canopy and at least a lawn chair with an umbrella, or is it better to use the shade/cover provided at the track?
How much gas should I bring with me for the day?

Bring protection cause most of the stuff will likely be taken. Gas just fill up. You shouldn't need more than what your bike holds. Worse case there is s gas station next to the track you can ride too legally on the track property. Few members are going just not official members setting anythubg up to my knowledge. Think nitzer will nab a spot I'd look / get with him since he has experience. Think Heath and Jeff will be there as well.

Coldvodka I would recomend having the bike taped up before getting to the track. It just makes the morning less stressful. Also I would pull the fuses for running lights, headlights, and blinkers if your bike will allow it.

Good call on the fuses, didn't think about that. What do you mean protection, Turismon? :HeadScratch:

EDIT: Ooooh, you mean SUN protection! Don't mind me... :SideSplittingLaughter:

Just relax and have fun. Youll feel rushed but dont worry. You dont have to start every session right at the start, there is actually a good bit of time to do what you need

Hey guys, I'm ok, no broken bones. Had a great time other than going down in the end. Thank you Heath and Derek for helping me pack up and staying late. Special thank you to Jeff for getting me and my bike home!

My right upper arm is bruised badly, and the right side of the bike is going to need a new crank case Cover, rear sets, and brake handle. Front Wheel has a dent in it too. Almost identical to how my ninja had it, feels like dejavu.

Damn man that sucks, if it's gonna happen tho better at the track then anywhere else. Your not the only one to eat it at the track, it's almost like a right of passage.

Yeah, glad I went down at the track instead of the road out there.

I came out of a right turn way wide and was going to use the outside candy cane stripe to bring it back in. But judging by dent in the front wheel, I hit it right where it started... Front Wheel dipped in, and I went over the side.

I'll post video tomorrow :)
