COTA June 1 & 2

Post by **shilka99** » Wed May 01, 2013 7:27 am

So who is going? Can a mod add a table to this thread so we can see who'll be there?
Dave needs instructors there Friday morning so I'm heading down Thursday evening.
FYI a garage will cost $50 per bike - max of 8 per garage. PM me if you want in. (email with all details will be going out today if there are no more typos!)

Edit - Instructor schedule came out today. I've been assigned to Level 1 both days so I won't be seeing much of you guys!
I'll be loading up today and driving down tonight. See you at COTA.

I'm there for Sunday and on the waiting list for Saturday.

I'm riding L2 both days. Planning on driving down Friday night and back on Sunday night.

Edit: Ha, I think DS and I were both trying to fix that table at the same time.

I just checked the original COTA thread, I think Fish R1 is corner working.

Post by **DarcShadow** » Wed May 01, 2013 8:34 am

Thought he was working one and riding the other.

I'm gonna ride down Saturday morning and watch you guys run for a little bit.

Where's everyone staying?

Fish R1 · Post by **Fish R1** » Wed May 01, 2013 8:57 am

I am corner working both days. I have not made any reservations yet.

Oh yeah, need a sleeping place.

I'll probably pack my camping gear, so if I can't do a walk-in at a local hotel I can pitch a tent somewhere.

Edit: Hee hee, COTA is on Google Maps with the turns labeled.

I'll be sleeping at the track. I'm renting a toy hauler for the week - trying to decide if I should buy one or not.

Post by **DarcShadow** » Wed May 01, 2013 11:05 am

I'll probably get a room in Bastrop, cheaper hotels there. Am I the only one that will only be there on Sunday?

Post by **DarcShadow** » Wed May 01, 2013 11:10 am

Shaun, think there's any chance of a walk on ride for Saturday?

Yeah, I waited about 4 hours too long I think, Saturday was full when I registered.

Theres a waiting list. Or you could win the raffle...
People on the waiting list will be at the track in case of no shows or last minute cancellations. But the track owners are being very specific about every little detail and numbers on track is one of them.

These guys have some good options.

Yeah,

kind of what I figured. I'll probably just make a lazy day of it and get down there some time mid afternoon Saturday. Really bumbed I waited too long for Saturday signup.

Me too. But they aint cheap. I'm trying to decide if I can justify the expense when I just made another major purchase (pictures to come) and have a new truck planned. At this point it makes more sense to rent a few times a year.

Post by **DarcShadow** » Wed May 01, 2013 3:14 pm

I may be going Saturday after all!

Just found out I'm next on the waiting list and with still a month to go there's a reasonably good chance someone will cancel between now and then.

Even if you don't hear ahead of time, you'll probably want to be there Saturday morning with cash in hand in case there's a no-show.

Post by **DarcShadow** » Wed May 01, 2013 5:33 pm

Knowing I'm next in line yeah, I'll probably do that if I don't hear anything by then.

Stardog · Post by **Stardog** » Thu May 02, 2013 3:53 am

I didn't know that anyone was going. I WILL make this next year. So are you guys gonna hold it WOT for the entire straight? How do our bikes hold up to that kind of... exercise for 2 days in a row? Rhino you gonna take the Versys or the Speed?
