  2. Vintage Days Racing - Seeking to share a garage

    in Track is Crack

    Posted · Edited by DesmoDuc
    update

    If anyone is heading down to race at Vintage Days at Mid Ohio and you have a garage with some room to spare, I'd be interested in going in on it with you.  Just bringing one bike and some basic gear.  Have a trailer and canopy, but you know how it can get when it rains down there.  

    Plan to head down on Thursday, get set up and catch Friday practice.

    I imagine this has been posted somewhere, but Lean TD has decided to not run the track days etc at Nelson Ledges next year.  Sam and Holly want to do a few things.

    Sounds like some planning may be going on in the background to continue something similar, but no specifics.

    Megga thanks to Sam and Holly for what they've done for us ... a class act all the way around

    How do you coordinate rider changes, does the track do it with flags?

    Rider changes for pony express are at the discretion of the team ... we chose 40 minutes as a baseline as that seemed to be where the gas tanks started to display "low."  ( and for a 3 rider team ends up being 2 40 minute stints each )  But we also use a white board to signal early changes from the pit.  And riders can signal early stops if the need to.  The rain and dry out had us making all types of changes.

    I too had a great time running the 4 hr pony express at Nelson Ledges last weekend.  That rain made for some interesting strategerie.  We took 2nd (me, Chris Murphy and Robby Noe) despite all of us running pretty decent times, hard to fight guys that can run lots of 1:07s and 1:08s.

    Had a great time at Nelsons Ledges this weekend riding @Hoblick's ktm 390 in the ultra lwt endurance race. Last 15 min was a freak'n battle! I think both of us did really well - just couldn't do anything against the hp of the top finishing bikes.

    Tim, yeah that was an epic battle .... fun to watch!

  19. Painter for Race Bodywork?

    in Track is Crack

    Posted · Edited by DesmoDuc

    Fellow Gearheads ... wanted to share the results of a local painter who TimtheAzn recommended ...  Dave P did an absolutely killer job on the 1199 ... she's a proper bitch now.  The old rattler can black was, umm, a bit lacking.  The nephews and nieces thought black it was uber cool ... not so much me ....  Dave got it exactly right!

    PM me or TimtheAzn for contact info for Dave P.

  25. VMD Bound

    The old man is headed to VMD with the tri-colore Duc 1098.  Gotta try to uphold the eurotrash honor and all.  I'll be pitted in the lower paddock area under a red tent.  Stop by if you get down that way.
