no sorry, just the 14th (Friday evening) but our good friends, Leanne and Bert will probably be there, I think they are racing..some other friends, Sandi and Kyle are just doing the track time...I think you might remember Sandi? And then the other usual assortment of riff raff racers will be there....

cool well let us know if you need anything else

yeap, it is a lot of fun, the most fun with your clothes on. The regular school (full day) is $150 in small group environment. Honestly, that is a reasonable fee especially if you are close to Nelson Ledges. Saturday, August 16 and Saturday Sept 12 offer the full day beginner level track day. And yes, there are many other organizations that offer instruction...STT, Mid Ohio, other tracks, etc etc.

ha! Kosmos! how the heck are you and your bones!! I have been wondering about you as well. We haven't done any racing this year because our racing money has gone to daycare and well, i hate pumping at the track (baby is getting the boobjuice ) etc. etc. and no, I can't race and bf at the same time, sorry, I'm just not that talented and honestly, nap time is probably impossible with all the noise at the track. Crying babies are not fun. It is race weekend on August 15-16 so do feel free to just hang out We still reserve our first rights for your indenture but I hereby release you temporarily to help others in need

hehe, well if you put it that way, don't go the graphic stores and have custom numbers made, it can be expensive that way. Go to the Pat Catans or some arts and craft supply and check out the art making supply section. You can get decent vinyl numbers for a couple of bucks.

The headlight looks ok. You don't need numbers though.

LOLOL are u doing the Lemon Day!! ha! That is going to be VERY interesting!!!! hehehehhe

I have a ninja250 with a lot of character and runs really nice I have taken it out on Nelson and if you promise not to crash it, you are welcome to borrow it. Yes, cruisers are allowed because it is school to teach better riding skills in a controlled, close circuit environment...it is not a race school.

i don't know if this will help but fasttrax has their own forum at http://www.ridefasttrax.com/phpbb/ Also, many of the riders are on this forum (fasttrax racing school) http://www.localriders.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=270 Feel free to post and ask if anyone is willing to help you if they can. If they can, I know they will.

Yeap, my husband and I just rented leathers in June. They are Vansons 1 piece mostly. We haven't lost our "baby weight" yet and haven't gotten new leathers so we rented. There is an online form to fill out for renting leathers at the track or you can contact Todd (http://www.ridefasttrax.com/aboutus.htm)

I saw on their http://www.ridefasttrax.com/ that they are offering a Special Introductory Beginner Group Instruction at Nelson Ledges Friday, August 14th (from 5 pm to sundown). This is for $75 and probably a great way to be introduced to the track in a non-race, non-competitive atmosphere. If you can think of anyone that might be hesitant at doing track time because they don't want to be "racing" and are free Friday night, maybe you can talk them into this...it's only $75 and what they learn will be worth it!! Check their website for more information (click on TrackDays -> Beginner). I especially encourage woman riders who are new to the track to take advantage of this opportunity My husband and I will be there so let me know if you need any help with anything (pls let us know sooner rather than later, if possible). I take no further responsibility into the introduction of a new addiction and money pit

dang! i am so sorry to hear that. diito to kosmos (hi kosmos!!) i had a bike stolen from my apt building right before heading out to grattan.. hope you replace your ride and it doesn't happen again

That's really awesome. Have a great time and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lololol i just discovered you had a baby tpoppa CONGRATS!!! That is so awesome and despite the baby, you are still putting on the MILEAGE THAT I ENVY!! cuz we had a baby too hopefully we'll be to do a few more of those days next year when the baby is older!

hehe yea i got a million other things i should have been doing but got caught up in catching up with some messageboards, been missing out i just happened to browse ohioriders and saw your post...what timing! the x-rays are something else... we doing pretty good thanks if it was riding season and baby was out, i'd say we need a baby sitter

hahaha i just figured out who you are besides my other lover (according to you)..wasn't that hard now was it. sending you an email

Well, the welcomes are still nice, hahaha! Yes, we (hubby and I) were working out some suspension issues, not a bent fork for me though..could be someone else. One of the issues was that we sent our rear spring out to get replaced with a lighter spring. The person who we sent it to (out of state) is a nice guy and all but took freaking forever to get back to us because of his busy schedule so we missed a few races (which was ok with us because we had other things came up, but if we were committed to EVERY race like we were our first year of racing (this was our third), then we would have been PISSED). Anyways, after the spring came back and we got it on the bike, I couldn't really test it out cuz gosh dagnabit, I got pregnant...you guys are lucky not to have to deal with that as riders So hubby tested it during a weekend that he decided to do a 3 hour Fasttrax endurance race, everything went well. Then 45 mins into the race the rear shock reservoir made contact with the chain and blew out the shock, spraying suspension fluid all over the chain and rear tire. Fortunately Dorjän was able to keep from crashing and pulled in! So we learned a lesson there (to check slack!) Sucks but it's all part of racing and learning. Picture attached. Here is link to our album of the race that weekend: http://picasaweb.google.com/scotdor/PbPRacingS3HourEnduranceRace#

Wow, look at that xray. Let me know if you need anything at all!
