11.29.2014 - TWS

Post by shilka99 » Wed Oct 08, 2014 6:50 am

Who wants to squeeze in as much time at TWS as possible before its too late?
I'm a little worried about what the weather will be like this late in the year but its worth the risk. I'll actually be doing private coaching both days which is my favourite way to ride at the track. Anyone interested in coming along?

It will be a while before I can get back on the track, I need to make sure I'm 100% before I go back.

If I am not flat broke and I have tires then I might make it. :)

I should be in for the this one. I have already gotten the time off from work. The only thing that concerns me is if my wrist will be 100% by then. Anyways I should up for it. let me know if anyone wants to load up bikes and travel together because I have several different sized trailers to accommodate several scooters.

Well I have some bad news. I recently had surgery on my right hand to release my carpal tunnel. The surgeon has strongly recommended I wait until at least January to see track time. So it apears as though I'm out for this weekend.

Here's hoping you heal quickly, and completely.

Terry, Chuckles, I am starting to think that you guys might be feeding each other negative energy.

I am considering riding the 29th. Is this the last track day at
Tws? When is it officially shutdown?

We have some events scheduled for next year. At this point, the ridesmart day will be the last time the track is used before the bulldozers roll in.

I heard that CMRA was planning to send it out with a 24 hour endurance race.

According to Randy thats already been cancelled, because TWS want to charge too much for the track rental! A 24hr race would require entry fees 4-6 times the normal endurance entries.
