LSTD TWS June 6 & 7. Last Motorcycle track day at TWS EVER!

Post by DemonDuck » Thu May 21, 2015 3:01 am

Anyone planning to go to TWS for one or both of these days? I am seriously thinking about going for at least one day.

Good to know.... I still think I will try and make one of these days or even both. Sunday is open for all levels but Saturday only has level 1 and 3 open. Not sure if I am ready for level 3.

Sure just don't do outside passes in the schmutz like that guy we saw video of (the guy who crashed his S1000RR, got it fixed, we watched him on video at COTA, then he crashed AGAIN doing the SAME THING).

Sounds like you better take both so you have a back-up.

Don't think Ill make it so I will be going to Cresson on the 13th. But I will not register till I see there is about 0 % chance of rain that day and for a couple days before. I don't wanna sit around and talk with friends for $150.

No, it is not a ridesmart event. It is hosted by LSTD, which is lonestar track days.

Who has ridden with Lone Star? Are they decent? The only chance I'll have to ride TWS will probably be this Friday and Lone Star is hosting. Can't make the Ridesmart one in Nov since I will be in NC.

I guess my only concern is that it's a Friday before a race. That means there is no level one group. The groups are all together except novice and expert racer groups. They are separated out. The intermediate group will be all level 1, 2, and 3 groups.

Yeah, there is only one non-racer group--the street group. Its actually a great experience and a lot of fun. Ride your own ride and don't worry too much--LSTD puts up a solid track day experience.

It's been several years since I rode with them but I ran in the slower "race" group and was just fine. Do you have to have a race license now to run in the "race" groups?
