You guys want the club canopies for the trackday? If so I can bring them to bike night or we can work out some other way to get them to you.

If I have enough tire left over after this coming weekend, then I'll probably show up and turn a few laps on Easter Bunny Day.

There was a nice FWMR member that took time out their Easter Sunday and hung out with me at Cresson today. The event was great and well run. More later on the track day event. Thanks Fiddy I really appreciate the conversation and the company.

Anytime my friend. I had a great day as well. It was fun watching you run. You did well and I know with time and patience you'll make it to Level 2 :-D Just enjoy and hang in there.

A buddy of mine crashed coming out of wagon wheel, but overall, I heard it was a good trackday

Now I wish I'd gone. I skipped it because of the severe thunderstorm watch, then it was beautiful weather all day.

The event was a success. I do believe this is the first time Extreme Motorsports Track Days has put on a track day event. They did however have familiar control riders and Tony from Eurosport Cycles was there for control rider duties and some level 1 consultation. They also had corner workers at important locations on the 1.7 mile track (similar locations used by Ridesmart). Please keep in mind there was no formal class time for the different rider levels. Plenty of track time for the 3 riding groups (20 minute session) 1 hour lunch break, a raffle with the grand prize of new Dunlop tires (courtesey of Whoopies), A Eester egg hunt for cash prizes and BBQ for sale for $12.00 a plate ( It was decent food but a little pricey)

Bottom line $90.00 cost for the 1.7 mile track time, Staff knew what they were doing and small riding groups. I will go back if they keep the price at $90.00
