It sounds like FWMR will be well represented in the corners. I personally like this weather it is ridesmart or other track day providers. I think it sends a positive message to the venue and the track day provider that FWMR is doing its part on the track to make sure that safe, fast and fun riding is to be had by all. The positive and productive relationship FWMR has with Ridesmart is a perfect example of this safe, fast and fun message. The street riding is no less represented by Rhino with the MSF instruction and all the ride leaders and ride leaders in training that take the street rides seriously but also have a fun route planned out with good food at the lunch stop.

I've never done a regular open track day at ECR. Can you pay at the track? I won't decide until this afternoon if I want to go. Looks like it will be cold the AM, don't know about that with no tire warmers.

With Lonestar usually you can pay at the track. But it is the beginning of the season so its hard to say. I have not heard of them selling out all that often.

If you are talking about an open day at ECR, then Im bettin they accept all forms ofpayment on aite.
For LSTD today and tomorrow, Im sure you can probably pay the day of if there are openings.

As for today at MSRC , thegroups are REAL small! Come on out if ya want.

Yep, both ECR open days and LSTD allow you to pay on site. Availability of open slots is not usually a problem in either case.

I don't think LSTD is running tomorrow at MSRC, since it's only scheduled as a single-day event.

You guys have fun out there!

They would, except LSTD is not running at MSRC tomorrow. However, ECR is having an open day at their track, so you may want to swing by there instead.

It was very nice to see FWMR well represented in the corners at MSR Cresson on Saturday. I also saw some FWMR spectators out there Saturday afternoon. Something interesting happened Saturday, LSTD used the 1.3 for the morning session and the 1.7 for the afternoon session. Temprature was a concern that day so the decision was made to run the small track in the A.M. due to better grip in cold weather. ( And it was COLD that morning at 9:00)
