  1. Great weekend, I ended up doing Sunday too, I'm beat. Cbosman what turn did you crash in? You a member of the T1 club?
  2. To never use the R word. I'm not a big fan of riding in the wet stuff either so I choose not to. But Chris's idea of splashing people sounds fun.
  3. Well this day is a special day so it cost different than other days, normally it's $630 a day with all the hookers and blow you could want, THIS day it's only hookers hence the reduced rate. Get my point? fitz
  4. Oh, we'll have fun for sure. Just be sure to pace yourself, take it easy in the morning, the reward will probably be empty track at the end of the day. fitz
  5. Just so you don't get too disapointed if they don't... In the past they didn't bump anyone on SEDs, even if they did you probably wouldn't be able to ride in the I/A group since it's full. Maybe they will give you that sticker by the end of the day?
  6. Yeah good job on that by the way, instead of talking out your ass about things you know nothing about.
  7. For the record Todd from MS has helped me more times than I can count, Sammy also has spent a great deal of time with me to help me go faster. Everyone I have met at MS has been great. Chances are I have met BRAIN, it's a pitty he represents such a great club so poorly.
  8. None of what you say makes any sense, try this, when you type, try thinking. Oh and let's see if you can NOT have the last word, betcha can't do it
  9. Dude I know a troll when I see one, to think I used to read what you had to say and thought it had merit.
  10. Wrong again, anyone can get a discount, STT fanboy.
  11. I haven’t posted on this forum much so I guess I'm not used to people talking out their ass, so you'll have to excuse me if I seem surprised by your completely inaccurate comment when I clearly stated I like all orgs, all have their ups and downs. But you seem to have a definite prejudice against NESBA, maybe you should look deep and work on your "problem". See you at the track BRIAN
  12. I do get a discount, I pay as low as $120 for a day with a "free" membership and no late fees or cancelation penalties AND I don't have to pay an extra $10 per person to get through the gate like with Moto. So the difference to ME to sign up the day before an event is $120 for NESBA vs $160 + $25 late fee + $20 to get through the gate = $205 for Moto. Don't get me wrong I like both orgs/clubs, I'm just comparing numbers. Being on the track is always a good thing. I like Mid-Ohio, they give free lunch fitz Edit: The late fee is $25 not $20
  13. I'll be there Cbosman, so if you need any help let me know. And to others... Comparing NESBA with Motorseries is apple to oranges, especially to NESBA's SED event that happens maybe ONCE a year. On a typical NESBA event I can go to a NESBA day for a lot cheaper than Motorseries. NESBA does about 12 days at Beaverun, Motorseries does 2 trackdays a year there. As for the coaching, I've enjoyed both. Motorseries is great for first timers, beyond that, being in their Open group which is about the same as NESBA's beginner group with no passing rules and with riders that can sign up right off the street in that group, to me, is CRAZY. Obsman you're going to have a great time, you picked a GREAT day for your first trackday. Just remember to PACE yourself, it's going to be a big day, and ride your own ride. fitz
  14. http://www.amazon.com/BT-Q818X-Bluetooth-Receiver-Hardware-BT-Q818XT/dp/B001R1OO1W/ref=pd_cp_e_1 This is the one I ordered, but not the one they sent me, they didn't have the model in stock so they sent me one that actually cost a lot more but it basically does the same thing for what I need it for. You can change the sampling rate with the included software with any of them. It works well, the battery last forever, has a vibration sensor so it's only on when you are using it. Turn it on in the morning and forget about it. I mount mine under the windscreen, gets a good reception, protected from the wind and a bit of rain till I get back to the pits (I do not ride in the rain). fitz
  15. Yes you are correct Yes you have to sync the video and the overlay, the easiest way that I have found is when you get to the track find the start/finish on the track (white line on the front straight), mark it (with the phone, don't walk out on the track ), then on your video when you see you crossing that line that's where you will sync with your RaceChrono "vid". The biggest pain is finding a place for your phone, I've put the phone in a plastic bag (sweat might kill your phone) in the pocket of my leathers, but I think I've figured out a good way to put it on the bike. I do pay $5 a month insurance for the phone so the loss is minimal, wish I could buy that kind of insurance for the rest of the bike. fitz
  16. http://trackmaster.trackaroo.com/welcome All it is really is an app for your phone It works very well, easy once you learn how to use it, and inexpensive. I got a bluetooth gps to improve the sampling rate and for ease of use to go with it, but it's pretty amazing everything you can do with it, personally I think it works in some ways better than a GPS laptimer that cost $600. There is a bit of a learning curve at first though. fitz
  17. My second time at MidOhio, last time was a while ago in Novice, my main focus was on lines, apexes and gearing (which wasn't the best), wasn't worried about lap times ect.. Some of you guys were really rolling out there, made some really good safe passes on me , which I wasn't comfortable at all doing myself in the turns . Maybe after some time at that track I can hopefuly keep up with you guys better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtfexGjoMN0 fitz
  18. Great day indeed! I will try and post some videos if you guys are interested.
  19. My wife will be taking pictures of me in that group, (she has a very good camera) if you ask her nice she'll be happy to take some pictures of you (just show her what bike you're on). Look for a #13 R6 that looks like a bumble bee. (yellow and black). fitz
  20. pffft you just want me out there so you can look fast-er Give em hell on Sunday Chris
  21. This might be a dumb question but how much total potential track time for that Friday? 7 - 30min sessions?
  22. I'll be there. Look forward to riding with you fellas.
