I've signed up to teach this weekend. Who else is planning to be there? This will be my last track day for the year by the look of it.

I'm on call that weekend so I will be in town. Not sure it's going to work out though since our server maintenance day is that Saturday and that usually means Sunday becomes an issue mop up day. Being that I am the one on call, I will be the janitor.

I dont think ill be able to make it. Still need to get my 18k service done on the bike and need to get tires before going on the track again. Might have to be next year for me.

I'm doubtful at this point. The CMRA banquet is on Saturday in Waco, so that only leaves Sunday--logistics and blood-alcohol level permitting.

Huh, looks like we've got a few newer guys riding L1 on Sunday. If there's enough interest, I'll run L1 and film you guys.

Somebody poke Stardog82 and get his butt out there on Sunday.

Maybe I can use my brothers 14 and take it out to lvl 1. Think the Angle ST would be good enough for level one?

Just about anything is good enough for L1 if you don't push it.

I ran L1 on Pilot Road 3s at street pressures. They didn't slip until I was riding fast enough to be passing everybody, i.e. L2 pace in L1.

Not unless you want to follow it with elbow and shoulder dragging.

I'm 95% sure for Sat and Sun L2. Planning to bring along a coworker, maybe 2 to ride L1 on Sunday. One has 1 TD of experience a couple of years ago one has never been on a track (Nick, a few of you guys have ridden with him).

I ran midpack L2 on Angel STs on the C-14 with street pressures (by accident), with zero issues.

Sounds like I should plan on some L1 goofing off with the GoPros on Sunday.

Somebody get 82 to sign up.

Well hell, my 2 newbies are out. One was planning on selling one of his bikes and it fell through so he doesn't have the cash, the other one's fuel pump went out yesterday. I am however still dedicated to turning a large portion of my department in to track riders and will be on their asses next season. :)

Change of plans for me. The buyer for my 996 can only come pick it up on saturday... He lives in San Antonio so if I want the $$$ I have to stay home. And my insurance company just took a mighty big dump on me so if I do ride Sunday it will be KTM only.

Offer solutions for them. A simple fix really.... Newbie 1 lets newbie 2 "rent" his other bike for $70 dollars. Both are new so they get half off and that means that Newbie 2 gets to ride the track for the same price as a regular track day and newbie 1 gets to use his $70 for rental to ride the track. Everyone is happy!

Not sure if I can get everything together in time for tomorrow . Sorry for the late post but I've been busy with Lori since she had her surgery Monday.
I have some questions,
1.what time do I need to be at track and since I don't have a trailer, is it ok that I ride it down to Cresson ?
2. I have the leather pants but my jackets are textile or mesh, can I use the textile jacket ?
3. Do we have awnings to cover bikes in between rides ?
4. I have stands for my bike, can someone carry it down there for me ?
