Are you on Trackday Junkies in FB?  They have a Yard Sale subgroup.

Most of the track day org's that ride down south have posted their schedules.  Anyone have any trips in mind yet?

Only met Jerry one time, at a non-riding function.  Heard so many good things about the man and saw that they were all true.  I was looking forward to riding with him someday.  Condolences to all friends and family.

2018 schedule posted.?

We just updated the sizes again, the gloves are getting very limited so do not wait. Still want something in time for Christmas? Call MIKE for express shipping options! 

Grabbed a pair of the gloves.  They look and feel great.  Can’t wait to get out on the track with them!  Thanks Mike!

Definitely in for this.

Which one did you get?

Didnt buy any this year. Have 1 or 2 left over from last year, and with limited PTO I believe most of my track time will be spent at PIRC.

Two of my four are twilights.  They’re a pretty good deal when the sun sets after 9pm.  Are you going to buy one of the N2 packages?  I am debating that.

Tucked in for the winter.

$157.50 - Full Track Day (was $146.25 last year)

$120.00 - Twilight

 

I'm in for 4.

Ditto.  Still a good deal.

Come here and I will taunt you a second time!

I've got some nice Q3 tires for you if you need them. Only used on the edges, so they should be fine for you.

this is mine now, you filthy nerds.

Seriously, you are now with bike again?

 I am thinking about loading up and being ready to roll if it changes. Work a half a day and roll in about lunchtime and ride the afternoon sessions if the weather permits. 

I'm doing Mid Ohio or nothing.  I'll just have to wait until the last minute to take a vacation day.

Another one following @jacobhawkins for your viewing pleasure.  Nice double pass by both of us near the beginning.  When I saw it coming up, I was thinking "Jacob - go for it, I'm right behind you" and then as we are going around the keyhole and nearing the end of the turn, I was thinking "Jacob - hurry it up!!".  lol.  There are times when the wind noise isn't too bad, you can hear the two 675's winding up in unison.  Pretty cool.

Looking good out there @F4iguy, @jacobhawkins, and @J_Copeland. Jacob your lower body looks pretty good, plenty of foot clearance (which I struggle with, you should see my toe slider). Your upper body isnt bad, but your head is still center of bike. Get that head out there and try and kiss your mirror!

Can't wait to mix it up with you bubbies next year.

@jacobhawkins has aftermarket rearsets.  In most cases, though, making sure you are on the balls of your feet helps.  I have stock rearsets and the only time I touched a toe slider was in the carousel at PittRace.

Some video following @jacobhawkins and @J_Copeland on the 2cd.  (Turn down the volume.  Apologies for the wind noise.)

Haha kinda. If you watch close he passed me twice and I passed him back both times. But I wasent going to push through those 2 riders. 

Is that your R6?  I thought you traded/sold it.

Yeah!

Ok.  I'll go ahead and book it.

Signed up for the 2nd and the 9th.  Good way to finish out the season.

@jacobhawkins, @J_Copeland and I are going on the 2cd.  You want to split a garage?

Signed up for the 9th.  Probably going to do the 2cd as well, pending weather.  I have one more cert I won't be using this year that I will sell if someone is interested in saving a few bones or clams or whatever you call them.  $146.25 - same as I paid for it.

I was studying up on Harry's Laptimer.  They have a forum that will answer a lot of the questions on using a phone, an app, a BT GPS receiver and even a BT OBD II unit.  I really want to overlay my RPMs so that I can work on corner entry and exit, optimizing the power band.

The R6 is absolute money when it comes to the track. 

 

Only 600 that comes close is the 675. 

675rrrrrrrr foreverrrrr.
