I had to replace a part inside the Daytona and now I am having major issues getting the cover back on.  Found this:  http://www.triumphrat.net/street-triple-forum/233024-clutch-cover-installation.html  on a Triumph forum and following that procedure it seems like I'm still missing the clutch pull rod with the arm.  Any hints?!?!?!  I'm about to say fuck it and start prepping Izzy for the track tomorrow.

Way to not recognize me John! 

You're making me feel bad.  I was looking for the umbrella girls, and like I said, I'm not used to seeing you with hair.

Heading over on the 'Wing.  Do I need a parking pass for the bike?  Is there a dedicated parking area for bikes?

Oddly enough I was talking to Mark Junge before the season started and he said they were going to ban them.  I guess they weren't able to implement that right away.

Me getting passed by Nathan @Limitedslip7 (third bike - white R6).  Then trying to keep up for a lap.  Also a shot from his camera right before the pass.  Need to work on my BP.

Isn't that what the meatball is for? 

Different tracks use different flags and sometimes with different meanings.  Mid O doesn't use the meatball.  The black flag displayed at start finish means come around and see the track Marshall.  Black flag from a corner worker pointed at you means get off the track as quickly and safely as possible.

I'm going to try to hit up 8/11 or 8/12 though. 

Same here (not the boat thing).

You might be able to find someone, or one of us can look at it.  They are also going to check your gear.  Main thing -  all in good working order, good tires, nothing loose.  When I was at Jennings I asked if they did tech?  The guy said "Would you ride it?"  Point being, if you are good at keeping your bike up to par, there should be no worries.

They usually have us in the upper paddock for the twilight event until all the car people from the day leave. Then I'll move down to the garage area. Should see Jeff, Tim(?) and Dan by then and probably a few others.

So track walk 330ish?

If you want to get your ass run over by a car.  There are car events during the day.  If there is a track walk, it is usually after the twilight event concludes.

My buddy had the same issue, he'll be in novice and I'm sure he'd appreciate a heads up if it's full.  Thanks man.

I'm in the Advanced class.  Thank you! 

Advance usually doesn't sell out, but I will try to post the status of all three classes.

What are the hours for twilight. I may swing by on my way yo the hotel.

Twilight usually starts about 5pm.

I went online to register and apparently they cut off online registration Friday at 12.  I tried to call in and got no answer.  They have changed their website around a lot and I can't tell if Monday the 21st is full or not.  Is there anything on the web that lets you know?  I would hate to get packed up and make the trip to turn around at the gate.  

I'll be there Sunday afternoon for the Twilight event.  I can probably check then and post up the answer by 4pm or so if that helps.  What group?

Stupid iPhone.

@F4iguy I have a non OR buddy coming in for this.  He's up for throwing in for a garage if there is still room in yours...

I can move to F4 so he can be with you, np.

Either way, we should have room.  We have 3 confirmed - this will make 4.

Got a text, all is well. He is doing rehab and has been cleared to drive.  There is a pretty decent chance he will be at Mid-Ohio Monday with us.

Wow!  Hope I can buy him a beer, or whatever type of beverage he is up to!!

Jerry, I only met you once, but made an immediate connection.  Stay positive, we are all praying for you.

It should only affect one session at most I think. 

I emailed them about it.  They didn't think it would have much effect, but they are reviewing.

Do they have a usual order of the way groups go off.  Is it usually Novice then intermediate then Advanced or does it vary?  

Intermediate, Advanced, Novice.

Rinse and repeat.

I plan on doing the Twilight Sunday night. 

Rough idea where we'll be.

OK.  I got garage 21 for me and Jeff and whoever else wants to go in on it.  It will have my name, John Corrigan, and Ohio Riders on it.  I mentioned about Jacob getting one too so hopefully we'll get garage 22.  If we all gather and pit around that area, we should be good.
