  2. track virgin, stupid questions.

    Track day organizations like Motoseries rent the track. Motoseries runs quite a bit at Nelson and not sure who else this year. So you will have to meet the trackday organizations Novice requirements in this case Motoseries which can be found here http://www.motoseries.com/trackday_info.htm You can do a novice day there but through Motoseries.

    Mid Ohio runs their own stuff. They have their own school/requirements but its basically same.

    There is usually a strong OR crowd at Motoseries events. Jbot, APCh8r, Blue03636 all instruct the Novice group so you could tag along with a OR instructer and they will take care of you. I recommend Jbot :D

    Novice day is easy.

    Bike:

    Tape all headlights/taillights/turn signals

    Have newer/good shape tires

    You:

    Full Face Helmet

    Gauntlet style gloves

    Over the ankle boots

    Leather 2 piece or one piece suit

    (The leather suit may be of a two piece construction, but most have a full circumference zipper. You can rent at track too).

    I was having same dilemma. I riding the piss out of my PP2CT at Jennings and having them "slip" some on me. I stepped up to pures and havent had a chance to run them yet lol. My thinking is why step up in tires if I can get the most out of the ones I am using. As soon as I can push the Pures to more of their limit then Ill upgrade which should be at the end of their life. I dont want to rely on race tires and warmers. We'll see how Putnam goes and my speed compared to Johns. If I cant keep up and whether its me or the tires.

  17. What kind of trailer hitch should I get?

    I ordered mine for my 4cyl Accord from here http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2011_Mazda_3.htm

    Those are options for your car.

    I have a hidden hitch one and it works fine. I installed it myself with no help and the wiring plug in was really easy too. I ordered everything from there including ball mount and stuff. They have good customer service that can make sure everything fits and is what you need. Plus Id rather deal with a company like that than order through eBay incase of returns/support.

    I also just picked up that HF trailer from IP. I put a wheel chock on it from HF. If you buy it use the 20% off coupon that come in sport rider or other magazines. It pulled just fine and even better with the bike on it. It will do exactly what I need it too. It weighs about as much with my bike on it as the Uhual one, w/o my bike, I rented and pulled to deals gap last year. Its gonna pull me to some trackdays this year and maybe another gap trip. Plus it folds up which if space is an issue is important. I think you would be fine with it.

    I'm still getting the bike in working order and have to get it setup. Changed some suspension stuff and the front master gave out at Jennings...so I went with a Brembo. So i need to get use to that change also once I get it all installed.

    We could switch and you can take mine to Nelson and I'll take yours to Putnam :D
