    Wed May 20, 2009 8:47 am Message icon_minipost_new.gif OFFICIAL MAY 30/31 BLUEGRASS THREAD icon_top_end.gificon_quote.gificon_toptop.gif ATTENTION ALL BLUEGRASS RIDERS FOR MAY 30/31

    Dear Sportbike Track Time Members:

    We wanted to inform you that the May 30 and 31st event at Bluegrass Motorsports Park has been cancelled.

    Although we are all anxious to ride at Bluegrass, the track has informed us this morning that their construction may not be completed in time for our May track days. We have chosen to not risk a last minute delay ruining our opening event. We want our first event to be one whoch represents the track well and allows our riders the safest and most fun day(s) possible.

    In order to help you get your May riding fix, we are happy to make you a special offer of $100 track days at AutoBahn or Beaverun on Saturday or Sunday this upcoming weekend.

    To take advantage of this special offer, sign up for this weekend at Autobahn or Beaverun at www.sportbiketracktime.com and write in the registration comment section "Bluegrass 5/30 & 5/31 Registrant". The discount will be automatically honored. You can also register "at track" as well.

    If this weekend at Autobahn or Beaverun doesn’t fit into your schedule we will provide you w ith a credit good for a full year or a refund for your Bluegrass registration.

    We apologize for any inconvenience and we look forward to riding with you soon! We will update the STT Forum General Section regularly with Bluegrass info.

    Sincerely,

    Monte and Bonnie

    Bluegrass Motorsports Park Update;

    NOTE ABOUT CREDITS:

    As a result of the cancellation for the May 30/31 event at Blue Grass, a STT credit memo may be issued to you based on your preference. By requesting a credit, you will be unable to apply the pending credit to another riding day/event until you have officially received the credit memo from Sportbike Track Time. This should take 24 hours.

    If you book a riding day/event prior to receiving your credit memo from Sportbike Track Time, the credit memo will not be applied retroactively.

    Thank you,

    Your STT Staff

  2. 4) Again, you are probably going to be getting less track time as the classes will be close to 60 in total. There will be people bringing their own bikes for sure, but a lot of people will have to wait until a bike is free...

    I didn't see anything stating we need to wait in line for the bike. If thats the case I'm bringing my own bike:rolleyes:

  3. Man some of you guys need to be more coordinated and utilize your hands and feet better. PCV, tire hoisters, etc... just for taking wheel off and on. :nono:

    FAIL! :lol:

    Yeah I guess spending 1 dollar on some PVC is stupid when you can look like a bear in the circus changing a tire.:rolleyes:

    :cheers:

  4. the removal is cake :D

    its getting the caliper and wheel lined up is what is a pita....I've did it by meself though.

    Just saying that 2 more hands is better and cheaper than that silly tool if you think you need help. Oh and having 2 people to cuss at the bike instead of one helps too!!!! :)

    go get yourself a piece of PVC tubing same diameter as the axle I think its 3/4 inch (R6) and cut it long enough to hold the brake. But not long enough for the wheel. I placed a "T" piece at the end as a make shift handle.

    This will hold the caliper in place while you thread the axle from the other side. Also beveling the rear brake pads with a grinder will make it much easier to line up.

  5. Good call. I didn't think about boxing in a new frame between the studs. I finished my garage and used a lot of these same steps. I just hope I can get the new section to blend with the existing drywall that has layers of paint already on it.

    Thats why you want a 12 or larger trowel to feather in the new board. Also its a smart idea to sand with a longer straight edge.

  6. Agree need to cut and replace.

    Best thing to do is cut with a straight edge to the stud on either side. Only cut half way on to the stud. replace with equal thickness drywall. Secure with drywall screws and tape edges. I am really liking the fiber tape (square holes)

    Next thinly mud and tape with 4 inch trowel let dry sand and mud again with a 12 or 14 inch trowel.

    Make sure you sand with at least a 12 inch flat edge to prevent waves.

    That looks like something I would/have done in the past:rolleyes:
