  1. At least last 3 years. Probably closer to 5/6 years. Right after the last round of superbike.
  2. Exactly. I can’t roll until the track is clear.
  3. While I don’t disagree with you, I see their side too. Riders are definitely bigger assholes to them than the car guys. That being said, Mark, Brian and Bill have absolutely cracked down on it and been kicking guys out way more than Todd ever did so its not as big a problem anymore. Some of them still hold a grudge though.
  4. Yea more than last two seasons since I’ll be home this year instead of on the road with Gav doing MA. I’ll be at all the major events and at some of the evening stuff. Probably not working any of the day PTR unless absolutely needed but going to ride more of them
  5. The corner workers are part of this problem. I’ve got into it on several occasions over shit they say on the radio and in med center when they come in for lunch. They bitch all the time about bikes and having to work PTR. The majority of them are car people and most forger I ride too and am listening. A handful of assholes over the seasons have created that. The bike guys run the flag to get one more lap in more than cars do and the bike guys argue more about getting back out on track after a crash and it pisses them off.
  6. You’re not wrong on your thinking but you’re missing some things. The teen driving is generally scheduled concurrently with another event so there’s two incomes and they do not have medical on for teen school so one less expense. And on the car club days, no they don’t pay 20k that’s not where my almost double comes from. I’m speaking bottom line. When a club rents the facility they carry their own insurance and they pay medical so Mid O is not paying those two bills. Basically the same deal when WERA runs, they bring their own insurance instead of Mid O and they pay medical. That’s why 16yo can race at VMD but not at PTR because it’s not Mid O insurance coverage. All of us on medical are not on Mid O payroll, we’re contracted. Mid O pays us on major events and track sponsored events such as PTR. The clubs pay the medical coverage bill on those days. Same as when OSP rents the facility for training. They do it concurrently with another event and pay part of medical. Take Medical and Insurance out of the days expenses and that is a sizable bump to the net income for the day.
  7. That’s the lowest paying event they hold. I didn’t say they don’t make money. Said they make little. They cut two of our staffing numbers in medical because of it. Car events bring almost double that. And 10K is not much when account for what it costs to run the facility for the day. That’s why they rely on volunteer coaches
  8. Really. They make very little on PTR and it is last priority of all events
  9. Never had one before but wanted a hooligan bike with more topend than my supermoto so giving this a try. Has next to no miles on it so it’s still on the original Rosso Corsa’s with a 4313 date code. Not sure I want 6 year old tires on it the way I plan to ride it lol. I’m sure they’re probably fine but I hate crashing
  10. It’s in the other thread but since you’re not as tech savvy as your other Asian brethren I’ll post here 😂
  11. 14 Street Triple R 2987 miles
  12. I haven’t removed it yet but I’ll probably be home around 230/3 doing it
  13. We already had plans for this weekend. Her whole family does a camping trip every year on Kentucky Derby weekend. One of the reasons we bought the new camper
  14. It’s yours. No pics at moment. I unloaded it and pulled all plastic and drain plugs. I’ll take one when I put it back together tonight or tomorrow. The mount will be on my tool box if you get by the house during your work travels just text me and I’ll give you the garage code
  15. The bike I just picked up has a universal phone mount. Personally I don’t see the point or use them. I’ll be removing it tonight when I tear the bike down and go thru it. Free to anyone who wants to come get it or I’ll just toss it. It’s this one https://www.amazon.com/Bike-Motorcycle-Cell-Phone-Mount/dp/B015UIPMH2
  16. Never seen that. Except maybe a dewy morning session or two when people are being cautious
  17. The way around is not saying you’ve never been there. And I have no idea what you are talking about with that 50% faster part. I coached novice there many times. Novice group is not faster than Intermediate. Hell we don’t even let N off their incredibly short leash until the end of the day and even then we still heard them into neat little flocks lol
  18. This is exactly correct. They simply ask if you have. To which you answer yes and sign in I
