TSB67

As for cost I've been doing this on the cheap for years, one day trips, only daily cost is entry fee and gas for the pickup. This is why I have yet to take the bike to a track other than Beaverun, Nelson and Midohio - the cost of a one-night stay at a hotel alone is a huge turnoff. I swear when I was racing cars 10 years ago I used to get rooms for $35/night at a Motel 6 or Super 8 or something. Now it seems like cheap is $80... If you're a camper that helps, but this guy needs a bed and a shower if I'm going to ride in the morning.

Might see you Sunday...

Agree with everything everyone said so far... NESBA B is a little chaotic for your first track day, STT's Novice program is excellent, Midohio copies it, FastTrax/Motoseries Instructional group is even more conservative. Next year's schedules won't be out until January or so, plenty of time to plan for the first April trackdays in this region. If NESBA is what fits your schedule though by all means go for it, you just need to keep yourself in check a bit before you get up to speed. Of course they cater to first time riders like any other org, my opinions above are just based on my personal comfort level back when I was a white-knuckle novice. Five years ago I went from my first day with Fasttrax where we didn't use the brakes all day to the next weekend with NESBA where I'm getting my doors blown off at triple digit speeds into turn 1. I then did four days in Novice with STT where we got up to some pretty good speed in the follow-the-leader format before I was really comfortable in an "Open" format. I'm a pretty slow learner, but I also had wheel-to-wheel racing experience in cars on some of these tracks before I ever took a motorcycle on them. I also don't mean to dis FastTrax as being too conservative, the cornering skills I learned in that one day were priceless - had I started in the WOT 'til you see god then brake mode, I'd probably be way behind where I'm at today.

Who installed that trigger kit? When that is installed, do you have to "fit" any of the stock parts or just the new pieces? IOW, can you put the stock pieces back in with no evidence of some hack grinding on the thing? Seriously interested, that is the only thing that makes me hesitant. I have always wondered what it takes to qualify as a "gunsmith" - but have been afraid to ask.

I have a set from a 95 Z28 if they're worth anything to anybody. The driver's side is dark charcoal gray. Never sold them when I parted the car because you can't ship them via the usual methods. I've blown those up for disposal to - proper procedure is face up. Of course I have no idea how to safely detonate this passenger one without bolting it to something...

I'm sure pics of groupie entourage would be much more effective.

Except you probably can't discharge a firearm anywhere near Westerville.

I play Forza3 in a private league with some guys from work and their family. I pretty much only turn the thing on twice a week to race with them. My internet connection can also be pretty crappy. Never ventured out into the real online play.

If the nozzles on those containers look like this, I definitely want:

Watching this to see the outcome.

So when does Bluegrass open? Any Midohio dates?

:lol:That. Is. Awesome.

BTW, since everyone has been on an 870 kick lately, that black matte finish on the 870 express WILL rust if you don't oil it. I was under the assumption that that coating was corrosion resistent, and I had little rusty fingerprints on the barrel in no time. At that stage they just wiped off with Hoppes and oil, but if you look really close you can still see the etch.

That just cost like $8.

True, sorry, I was thinking of something bigger.

I'm no EE but I don't see how a computer power supply with "pin" outputs is going to push something that you hook up to your car with 4ga wire.

Pretty much any fine dust is extremely flammable. It's a surface area to mass thing.

Good goat thinking. I think my dirt helmet has something like that that I don't use. Never noticed any air deflection snapping my street helmet - old one didn't have that snap, and that thing would slap the hell out of me if I didn't tuck it in.

99 in OH, but I've gotten MCOs from other states since then.

If you can't get anything behind I would try to notch with a Dremel and crack with a chisel.

Do you have the "certificate of ownership from the manufacturer"?

Short story: Cat Crap. Longer story: Was having the usual early-season fogging problems on track (like at Beaverun in April, 37F and wet). A friend was going to Iron Pony. I told him to pick me up some sort of antifog and I'd pay him for it. He comes back and throws "Cat Crap" on my desk. WTF, I give him $8. Didn't use it all season because the rest of the track days were warmer. Went to the drag strip last week, after dark was having major fogging problems. I'd keep my visor open until the other lane prestaged, then close it on my thumb. If the other lane took more than a second or two to stage, I'd be blind until about 660. Dealt with this most of the night, then at one point I picked up my helmet off my truck and it was covered with dew on the outside of the visor. I figured at this point I was totally screwed, then I remembered the Cat Crap was in my gear bag. I hastily, in the cold damp dark, hit the visor inside and out with Glass Plus and paper towel, a smearing of Cat Crap, and buffed with a terry cloth of questionable cleanliness. Breathed on the visor, no fog. Looked through it, no haze or streaking under the lights. Wore it closed the rest of the night, not the slightest hint of fog or dew. Awesome.

Loud pipes are for fags.
