This is from Todd on the "other" forum. 

 

I have had to hold off on posting any more schedules because the owner has asked me to wait until he can finalize some details for improvements.
He is not wanting to post a schedule in fear of having to cancel dates before he knows what work might or might not get done over the next month or so.
Sorry, I wish I had a better answer but that is the best I can give.
If you have questions specifically about the track please see the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/nelsonledgesracecomplex)and ask there, I have handed over the Facebook page to the owner.

So what does that mean for the MC schedule he posted earlier on the MS forum?  Is it a toss up as to if thos will run.  From his post I would say so IMHO. 

Why yes we did.  Had a train of about 8 riders going down 71.  Had a guy upfront running a detector.  That was a hell of a ride until we hit construction.

I miss every one of you misfits............I gotta get out and ride with some of you screwballs.

I;m please to announce that for the 2016 season, for all four weekends at PittRace, your friendly neighborhood photographer (and supporting memeber) will be the official photgrapher for N2 at PittRace.  I;m alos working on getting the Evolve GT weekend at PittRace.  I'll also be shooting some WERA events including Vintage Days at Mid Ohio.  Hope to see some of you turd out there!

From what I know, the deal has been finalized.  Now it's a wait and let's see what happens time. 

Your friendly neighborhood photographer is still alive and snapping images.  Been a while since I've been on here and I miss ever one of you misfits and delinquents.

Due to my commitment, I'll be at all eight events at Nelson Ledges.  But unless the better half threatens me with divorce (or if my tow vehicle decides to blow up its transmissions again) I will be at Mid Ohio for Vintage and WERA,  and the September PIRC with WERA.  I;ve also reached out to N2 to see if I can do some PIRC dates.

In terms of PIRC / Moto Series what I heard is that they kept changing the date that they wanted to give Todd.

Have a few races left to sort yet and I will start uploading.  Ryan, no excuses...what's more important tires or helping feed my family!

Started off at 199 this year.  Goal is to hit 180.  Trainer continues to kick my as twice a week and I hit the gem solo 5 days a week.

I miss you too John.  Sick fucker$

Just a heads up about construction on 422 eastbound.  It starts at Route 306 and goes all the way to Punderson Lake.  Then you cannot get on 422 westbound from Route 44.

I had the lucky opportunity, due to my wonderful wife, to attend the Pre-Austin GP four day camp in Texas hosted by Colin Edwards.  Had a helluva time ridding dirty bikes (first time ever for me), shooting guns, have great food prepared on site, making new friends and drinking beer.

Colin is a class act all the way, as are his instructors.  My lead instructor was Shea Foucher (former AMA rider).  Like I said, I've never been on a drity bike and this was my first attempt.  They has us split into groups based on ability (or lack therefore) and did a hug amount of drills after the instructors showed us how it's done (properly).  They pushed you to your limit and if you were not comfortable, they worked with ya.

Saturday was the first day and the last "event" of the day was SuperPole.  They linked all three tracks and timed you.  My first time out and I did a 1:41 (Jake Johnson from AMA Flat Track did a 1:19).  The it was free-ride time.  I tried to push harder and I did, but then went above my abilities and planted myself into the ground.  NO damage to me or the bike, but figured that was a good stopping point for the day.

Sunday, I only did 1/2 of the day since my shoulder was killing me from Saturday.

Monday, more drills and another SuperPole event.  Pulled off a 1:35 (?) on a tracker that was slicker (Johnson did a 1:21).  Then a one-hour endurance race with two or three man teams.  I decided to work on my oval track skills instead.  Pushed harder, broke later, went faster.  Then of course went above my limits.  Again no injuries so went back at it and did more laps.  The Texas BBQ chicken and pork that night tasted damn good!

Tuesday, more drills and a quick SuperPole.  Dialed in a 1:33:05 with a goal of a 1:32. 

We had fun at one of the instructors expense.  He made mention that he had a remote kill switch that he was going to install on an instructor's bike without their knowledge.  Well, a few beverages later, and after he left, it was installed on his bike.  So as he was doing his SuperPole on Tuesday the kill switch was tripped.  He figures he was out of gas so he filled up.  Goes for round 2 and we kill it in the same spot.  Goes for round 3 and we kill it at the finish line, proudly holding it in the air for him to see.

Garrett Gerloff, Aleix Espargaro, Mattia Pasini, Colin Sr. and Cory West were there as well.

If you think you want to go, just do it.  I learned a helluva lot in my four days.  I gotta figure out a way to go again next year.

Anyone need a kidney?  I don't need two of them!

    I'm kicking all you fuckers out of my trailer. 

Can't we all just get along!?  I;m looking forward to another fun-filled season.  See you fuckers at the IX center Saturday.

I might be there.  Depends on if there are any other plans.

I am pleased to say that I will be again serving the MotoSeries festivities this season and if all goes to plan I will be at select WERA events as well.  As I have over the past several years, I have decided to keep my pricing the same despite having to collect sales tax for the great state of Ohio.  So the prices you see include sales tax.

As in the past, I will be offering a pre-order discount on CD's from events that I am at.  I know that the flyer says MotoSeries, but if I'm at an event, I will offer the same discount.

I've had the chance to play with my remote trigger and as long as weather cooperates, I plan on using it at Nelson Ledges and if permitted at PittRace.

Here's to a great 2014 season.

Welcome

Depends on the date

Might be tempted myself.  but it all depends on the job situation.

welcome aboard

The racing was a blast from my vantage point.  Hollywood I'll make sure not to forget about you when I upload stuff.  Saturday sucked because of the weather, but damn Sunday was great.  The SV races where good as well.  See you fuckers at the banquet.

What quality is Med Res?  i haven't seen guys doing different scaled prices on pics...  Is that new?

Sorry, been crazy here at the office.  Medium res will get you a really good quality 5 X 7 print and will look good on a website (OR, FB, etc.).  I decided to do scaled pricing to try and fit everyone's budget.  So far it's worked for me.

I'll be there

CD's:

Low Res:  $35 - or $5 each if not buying a CD

Medium Res:  $50 - or $7.50 each if not buying a CD

High Res:  $75 - or $20 each if not buying a CD

Full Res $ 100 - or $25 each if not buying a CD

And in all honesty, if you're looking at 4 or more, it's a better deal to get the CD.  I can then either do a CD or a dropbox online for you.  PayPal is marty@photosbymartyllc.com

All images have been sorted.  Those who pre-ordered CD's and requested image uploads thank you.  Now what about the rest of ya?  Gotta pays my bills.

no shit.. all good.. and I want pics too sheesh marty get on it

All sorted finally.  Hob's you have a PM.  Jason you'll have one shortly.  Brian you're up after Jason.  Anyone else?
