@GSX-Sam We are planning Mid-Ohio on Labor Day (9-3) if it fits your schedule...  

Looks like you're having an awesome time with the wife, Jim!  Enjoy it!

Good on you Tim!  I guess it'll be my turn next year to offer the free track day.  

Sam, from what I saw on facebook, looks like you had a blast.  Hope to be out on the track with you in the near future!

And another race

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. 

Just couldn't find my way around without really stuffing it...

Good idea... maybe adding a relationship line to the emergency contact so if it's ever needed, at least the person making the phone call understands the relationship to the member.

Damn man... unfortunate turn of events... I always get nervous about these kinds of things.

Incredibly lucky that the weather held off and we got all dry races in.

Didn't get race 1's cause I forgot to put in the SD-Card 😭😭

Ouch.

Like I said though, he's still learning the bike... there's something to be said about not having any feel, suspension is shit, brakes are shit, and no power.  It takes some getting used to.  But yea, he was well off the pace.  With that being said, he didn't finish in last...

Even practice is a race haha.  jk.  you know what he meant by lap traffic it meant he was faster than me. 

When you pass the same guy every two laps.. I think it's fair to say lapped traffic hahahaha

Lapped traffic... gonna let him talk about you like that @kbrok?

Kevin was getting familiar with the antiquated OMRL machine.   It's a little different than his RSV4.  

All I can say is that at least he was out there giving it a go... unlike some people... :shrug:

when's the next time omrl is running or practicing close to cleveland area?  is this track the closest to cleveland or are there other tracks?  this one is 1.5 hrs away, so not horrible.  do any of the other racers bring their kids/family, so if i were to bring my daughter, she could have someone to play with while i make a fool of myself?

Adkins and PIRC are the two closest to CLE... the other tracks are Circleville and G&J.

PIRC is great but the most expensive cause they charge an arm and a leg to rent the kart track.  

Unfortunately the last 4 races of the season are only G&J and CRP

Here are some of the many photos that @tall_tracy and I took over the weekend.    Pictured @kbrok @Helmutt @snot @ShortyMoto @jacobhawkins @what and myself.

So how much is it to rent a bike to try out this madness?

There are plenty of practice days.  You are more than welcome to take my CRF around the track as much as you want on those days to try it out.  If you are looking to race, it would be like $70.00  (4 races) + bike rental fee.  And honestly, we have enough guys that may or not be able to make a race weekend occassionally that we can yank their bike for you to try it!

Yes, was a blast.  Got my first podium in F3.  Finished 3rd out of 22 just behind @jacobhawkins.  

I can honestly say that if you are at all interested in racing or track days, you should consider this. 

It's substantially cheaper than the big bikes and just as much fun.  

I'll post up some pics when I get em edited and uploaded. 

@kbrok

Here you go...

@durk   Sorry, I lost your email but here are a few of the pics I took of you.

Ordered another hitch that will hopefully actually fit my car. 3-5 days shipping. What size coupler does the trailer have Nivin, I need to know what size ball I need.

Leaders Moving and Storage. I've used them 3x now and they've always been the best price and haven't ruined or lost a single thing of mine

Called and got voicemails.  Guess I'll wait for them to call me back...

Company is agreeing to pay for my move back home and need to get some quotes from some moving companies.  Just moving a 2-bedroom apartment w/ garage from Toledo to Akron, OH.

Any recommendations on who to go with or who to avoid?  Need to get a few quotes to the boss so we can select the best one that fits the need. 

Thanks

just checked Pitt's posted rules, nowhere does it say that they charge extra for pit bikes or scooters, it just says don't be a dumbass when using them for transport around the grounds and that they are permitted. 

If you look at their tickets website, $50 for offroad vehicle/golf cart pass.

Hope he paid the extra $50 to use that "off-road vehicle". I don't remember if they had that last year, they sure as hell didn't enforce it. Maybe it's new for this year and they will enforce it this year.

 

Those things were bang'n. All of the goodness of a s'more, with none of the mess.

I am still trying to figure out if the guys @Jester_ @blue03636 and the rest of the crew are doing an NC bike weekend that weekend or nothing. They need to make a decision soon.

Good thing the Z125 isn't an offroad vehicle

Also, you'd better bring that salsa you brought last time!  I can bring whatever so just keep me in the loop.

Yeah, I totally get it, in this antiquated age of technology where it's so difficult to text or message or whatever.  Makes perfect sense Squidward.  

And there in lies the reason I PUT IT ON OHIORIDERS...so the people I forget to ask can remind me
