Sept. Half off Trackday Give Away

Post by DarcShadow » Thu Aug 19, 2010 8:50 am

Answer these three questions and enter for a a chance to win half off a track day/school with Ride Smart.

This is non transferable so if you win and find out you can't make it let us know asap so that a second winner can be drawn. Drawing will be held 9:00am Monday, Aug. 30th. Ride Smart only has three events in Sept. all of which are at TWS in collage station.

1) Barber was a great fun for those that went. Will you try to go next year?
2) What other out of state track would you like to see Ride Smart run at if they can? Ideally some place with in a days drive.
3) Add a caption to the following image:

FYI, AMA does not run at Watkins Glen and looking it it, it doesn't look very biker friendly. Lots of walls and gaurd rails. Indy would be sweet but Indy only runs the 3 races, the rest of the year the track is shut down. :( Mid-Ohio could be an option but it's pushing the limit for distance to drive for a weekend event.

There really aren't a whole lot of options within a day's drive of here... most of the really nice tracks are on the coasts. Within a day's drive we've got Phoenix, High Plains (CO) plus a handful of others in CO, Hallet (OK), Heartland Park (KS), Mid-America (IA) Memphis, Barber, Road Atlanta if you're really stretching the distance...

I'd really like to try Road Atlanta, but you drive right by Barber to get there. Mid-America also looks really fun, but it's pretty far as well.

And I aim to find out just how fast it is too!!!! Safely obviously and going to make sure I don't miss my braking point, but before that, I got a feeling I'm going to get some speed going for sure :)

thanks for all the congrats! I'm looking at the turn by turn guide for the track, and a map......oh it looks like that straight is at least 2000-2200ft long and some nice turns to go along with it....this should be an awesome track!!!
