ECR 07/17-07/18

Post by El Diabro » Thu Jul 01, 2010 8:50 am

so who so far is interested in doing ECR that weekend? I'm thinking of working the corner that Sat. I don't know if I'll have my new tires by then, and I have a 6 o'clock softball game that Sunday.

I just realized I'm going to be out of town that weekend. I might try and CW the Cresson date in early August, though.

I'm thinking I might try to get on the track on satuday that weekend. I have a need to get back to the track that kicked my ass.

corner working consist of getting a short brief from Dave, then sitting on a corner watching the bikes go roundy roundy, and talking on the radio, and waving a specific colored flag when told. Thats about it.

My wife is making me take time off from work to go out of town with the family :( Which means that I will have to wait a little while before I request more time off to go to the track.

ECR this weekend 7/17-18

Post by shilka99 » Thu Jul 15, 2010 9:10 pm

I just got word from Dave and it looks like I'll be presenting my new training video in Level 1 classroom on Sunday!
Does anyone else have plans to be at ECR this weekend?
I havent done any teaching since I taught MSF back in San Francisco 6 years ago! Should be fun.
Not looking forward to riding in 100°+ temps though. The track surface will probably be over 150°. Yikes!

Seems like there is a 1 month or so back log. It wasn't like that the first time I signed up for CW. I Kept asking for dates and I kept getting replies back it's booked. So figured that you need to at last plan a month ahead of time.

Hey Creach, keep some space by your truck and I'll park next to you (and vice versa if I cant find you).
Hey Shocker, what will you be driving? I'll be in a gray ford ranger and riding an SV650, Creach is in a black Chevy riding the GSXR with the wild paint scheme. We need to keep some space open so we can pit together.
Dave tells me that there are a lot of open spaces this weekend so maybe the pits wont be overcrowded like they were last month.

Thanks! I'd really like to make it out again in August. I appreciated meeting you guys today (Creachreach and rc30fan). Thanks rc30fan for all your help today. I definitely noticed a vast improvement in my ability to corner. I'd love to see those videos some time.
