Oh don't be such a downer...it's not that big of a fall anymore. There's a large pile of bikes, cars, semi's down there now that the fall is maybe 100 ft now. If you're lucky you could land in a semi trailer that had a shipment of Peeps for Easter!

Ok...so let's figure out....shutting down Deal's Gap for an organized event...A la Isle of Man TT

It's like 23 minutes long and in HD...the file is huge. It's gonna be a bit of a wait trying to get it manageable. I wish I was out there again already, damn money and me having a limited amount! Ok...Deal's Gap trip anyone!?

Yeah I see all the broken links...I think the pics are too big? 16mp camera maybe...oh well...like I posted go to the link below to check em all out on Flickr Unless an admin wants to fix em or something. *Hint* *Hint*

The GoPro Videos are pretty long...so Trying to trim them up and get them down to a file size I can upload. Here are a couple screen shots from the GoPro as well as some pics from the last session. There aren't really any cornering pics which kinda sucks but they wouldn't be that impressive anyway because of the rain. Oh well! Had a blast out there! Can't wait for a dry run! Here's some screenshots from the GoPro: You guys were pulling away out of 13 so I gave it some gas... Whoa Girl!!! This is what it looks like on the back straight before getting splashed... This is what it looks like on the back straight getting splashed at 100+!!! Here are some various photos taken by a couple of my friends that came to the track. There aren't many because most of them came out blurry. It was his first time using my camera and with the rain I didn't let him play around with it much. Here's some good shots... If none of those links work just go to the link below for the Flickr Stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/captainkeyes/sets/72157626524640122/

I'm wondering how different the new HJC's are going to be considering they're going to be charging around $500 for a Ben Spies replica.

Nice meeting you too. Hopefully we can get out some more for some mid day stuff so we can ride a bit more. We need to know more roads! Hell...maybe we can talk everyone into the Blue Ridge Parkway sometime for a trip to Deal's Gap! Haha.

A lot of good info there thanks...I'm almost ready and want to go those dates as well...How much was it and who is organizing it? $200? STT? I don't have Race Boots yet or Race Gloves. I have full leathers and a helmet...how much would it cost to just rent boots and gloves if I have to? Thanks for the help guys, Hope to see you there!

I have some changes in store...pretty much going to go all track with it soon, but here it is now. A couple at Deal's Gap for my birthday last year. I've got full leathers for trips to come.

Ok I'll talk to my friend about it... and as for Deal's Gap...yeah I read about it...did you see that video? http://www.wbir.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=71783729001 That sucks...I'm still waiting to find out whats happening with that.

Ok so it's showing Grattan on the 17th of April and the 1st of May for STT..which one is the even that most people from here are going to? I can't find the thread that had that track day in it...and then Mid-Ohio is right in between but I can't find where to sign up for that too....I'm just a lil confused. HAHA! The only thread I can find is Gingerman which I also want to go to! I want to be able to go to Grattan Gingerman and Mid-Ohio. I gotta make sure I can without them being on the same date. Yes I'm trying to go to them all. I'm not even going to bother risking getting addicted to trackdays and then not being set up to go to the next track...so I'm just going to pay for them all now. That's the plan anyway. Oh and I have to fit Deal's Gap in there somewhere too... Ok well can someone either direct me to who ever is in charge of the track days for Ohio Riders or to the threads for each of the trackdays so I could sign up and make sure my friend and my name's are on the list? I know...confusing. Sorry.

Hey DubGuy can you gimme a link for the event that is being set up for Grattan? I've found the one for Gingerman and am planning on getting to that one but I saw that Grattan was on April 17th I think...that's my B-Day and if I don't go to Deal's Gap I wanna go there with everyone for a track day.

Waiting for some stuff to fall together....Some gear still in the mail and Need to do some work on my Jeep but BMMW and I will probably be going too. Will let you know soon I hope!

Got the leathers and the boots are in the mail...so I'll be ready for this soon! That's a great deal. Just gotta work it out with a friend and you'll have at least two more of us.

Thanks everyone. It's looking like the weather is finally starting to warm up! My boots come in this week so I'm ready to get riding!

Thanks man. I'll look into getting spares for these just in case so I don't mess up the originals

Nope I just thought you sold it....and I never said you weren't coming along. I mentioned you in another thread anyway.

Well I'm a new member and have a sportbike and want to do a track day. I know a couple people that aren't on this forum as well that will go to. I'll try to get them to join.

Thanks a lot...That's a pretty good breakdown. I have filled everything out with NESBA, just have to pay for the membership. Do you have a NESBA membership? I'll probably be going to a track on any of their dates. Hopefully BeaverRun or Mid Ohio. I might know some people at Nelson's Ledges so I might go there too.

Yeah I was an Arai guy before and thought I'd never buy a different brand but once I switched to AGV I love it. It's a great helmet. Feels good. Looks good.

Thanks a lot.

I just need to find a thread comparing tracks(conditions and degree of difficulty, that kind of thing) and their prices per day. Anyone that has been to most of the Ohio tracks and wants to do that for me feel free to do that! lol. I'm used to Deal's Gap now and Love the S's

I want to go to MidOh and Beaver but how is Nelsons? I've only heard bad things...
