Looks like my buddy Jeff on the 2 stroke got garage 25.  I totally spaced on Friday and didn't register, so if its tight in the garage, I'll grab one next to 25 so we can spread out.  @Limitedslip7 are you and Mike still planning to come out?

Yes sir, although I'm a little worried that I group might be filled up by the time we get there. I guess Mike called, Novice is full and there might only be a few slots left in I group. Still gonna send it tho

Jeff Payton from OMRL is the buddy who's on the 2 smoke.  If you and Andy make it, we'd have an OMRL garage at the big bike track!

Mike Dempsey and I are in for Monday. Do you think you will have room for us in the garage? 

I'm thinking about it... 

Derek I didn't realize how close you were those races! Definitely faster than me... I can never seem to figure out CRP CW direction... going to have to get some practice in before the next one.

I had a great day workin that corner for mad cash and getting a great spot to watch the races.  Really tight battles all day and good clean racing.  I'll have a look at my bike this week and figure out what it needs to lay the hurt on Novice Stock XR next race. 

How's the noggin? Any issues later? 

These must be from practice; I don't see a giant chip out of Jacob's helmet yet...

I know we talked about it at Mid-Ohio,but that's stupid cheap.

Got my eyes on a few XR 100's.

What do they usually go for and what years should I look for?

Spend a little bit more and get a nice one. If it looks beat up at all don't bother with it even if it's from a member on here. Parts are cheap but they still add up quickly.  

That last pic is badass!

It was like that in April when I was there. Massive piles of it on any shore facing the East. Not only does it pile up on the shoreline but it turns the water around it brown and smells pretty bad when it starts to rot.

It would have been very disappointing if we had been staying on one of those beaches...

Thanks for the ride Jacob! I think I got lucky by only having to wait 5 min. Rode the GSX-S750. Definitely a smooth bike compared to my Speed Triple but could use a steering damper and some more torques.

What time? The GF is taking scuba classes right down the road from Iron Pony tomorrow from 4-8PM and I'm just going to be sitting around bored for four hours... I'll come beat up on some bikes if it's still going on!

Frig off Ricky!!

Oh I'll be there

It was definitely a great day to ride! Thanks for helping me pick my bike back up... pretty sure you guys foreshadowed that happening every time I took it off the stands though. The one time someone didn't say "oh shit your bikes falling!" and tried to catch it was the time it fell over. 

I signed up for I group. Jacob I'll chip in on a garage. There are still 15 slots open in I group if anyone is thinking about walking on.

I am selling (2) PTR gift certificates that need to be used this season for a friend (no longer riding trackdays).

Use them Monday or Tuesday, or both. Or later. But this year.

BTW, I've never had to pay a late registration fee. Doing it for years.

$140 per. PM me if you want one or both.

I'll take them if you still have them. 

I'd be fine with either garage. Six would be pretty tight. 

I'll chip in on the garage if I can get an outlet for warmers. Do you have one reserved yet?

Glad everyone who went had nearly perfect weather.  I came in to work very sad today.  Another example of me being an idiot.  So who's up for the 9th/10th???

I'm definitely in for one of those days. The 9th is my birthday so I'm partial to that, plus the weather is looking nice so far. Then again, the weather for today looked really nice a week ago too...

Well I canceled; going to shoot for the 9th instead. Now that I'm not going the weather is going to be perfect, so enjoy your track day!

Accuweather is down to 50% at 1, it might not be too bad with a brief shower. That track is going to dry out quick unless it's a downpour.

If this is your first day at Mid-O, just buy another 3 gift certs then you're considered a frequent rider and you can reschedule your day! On top of that, you then get to go to the free customer appreciation day in Oct. 

It's a win-win

Forecast took a turn for the worse it looks like. If it stays the way it is right now I'm going to push it to the 9th instead. If it improves I'll still be there...

I just signed up for I group. Probably should have waited and walked on; they said there are 29 open spots left in I group. Going to be an empty track out there... 

I'm probably going to be signing up Thursday or Friday morning depending on weather. I usually walk on but it might be packed with people trying to get some race practice for VMD the following weekend... If anyone wants to split a garage let me know.
