April Trackday Give Away

Post by DarcShadow » Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:07 pm

Answer the 3 questions for a chance to win half off a trackday/school with Ride Smart. There are 3 trackdays scheduled for April all at ECR. The winner gets to pick which track day they want to go to.
April 4th ECR (Sunday)
April 24th ECR (Saturday)
April 25th ECR (Sunday)

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, March 22nd.

1) You can trade your bike for any other motorcycle, for one day. What bike do you trade for, and where do you ride?
2) Do you listen to tunes while riding, wear ear plugs, or go with out anything?
3) Add a caption to the following image:

1) A Y2K and take it to the salt flats, or any other really long straight stretch of road. :D

2) I wear ear plugs. I find that they actually help me hear the bike and the road better, that and I'd like to keep my hearing. It only takes a short time for the noise levels to cause hearing damage.

3) Oh wait, she's coming this way. Ok, I'll just put my arm here and my hand in my pocket. Yes I am cool.

Contest update: Ride Smart has asked us to cut back the give aways to half off rather then a free day.

Ride Smart has also said that if you don't have leathers they would work with us to get you some free leather rentals.

3) You can trade your bike for any other motorcycle, for one day. What bike do you trade for, and where do you ride?
- A BMW R 1200 GS Adventure bike and go from Anchorage to Deadhorse Alaska :cool:

3) Do you listen to tunes while riding, wear ear plugs, or go with out anything?
- I either use standard ear plugs or listen to music through custom fit earplug/headphones durring normal riding
- no ear plugs durring a less than 5 mile ride
- and use standard ear plugs when on the track.

3) Add a caption to the following image:
- Yes Firewa11, I have my eye on you, I know you cut off my mullet at the last party, go ahead and touch the windscreen, see what happens... what you don't know is, I have a taser in my pocket...

Just in case you didnt catch that he drew his own name, it might look a little less rigged :)

Notice there also was no runner up this time ??

Runner up was Willk675. :) Didn't think it was necessary since I know I'm going to use it. ha!

And just to be clear, the winner is chosen by an automated algorithm that increases chances slightly for club members, and reduces your chances if you've won a drawing in the past. This gives an extra + to being a full member, and reduces the likely spreads the chancing of winning out better for people that have not won in the past.

Oh, and by the way, Meat of Snail said that it might be funny to try and call BS on DS... :SideSplittingLaughter:

Congrats DS, have a fun and safe track day :track:
