Now now, Timmy...

I ain't a pro, never will be, but I like to ride my motorcycle in a safe and friendly atmosphere as hard as I can.  Mid Ohio fills that desire pretty well for me, and no, it isnt perfect, nothing ever is.  But, damn man, it's a fucking race track, they want you to go fast and corner better and brake better and embarrass your friends on their stupid liter bikes.  It doesn't get much better than that.

Why dont people ever go to Nelson? They have tons of track days according to their schedule. 

I'd like to make it there soon.  Heard its much better after the repave.

I mean... there are other places to go lol

100%, but it's cheap and really close to me.  I want to know where Tim is going instead that day?  Maybe we can all do that instead.  Haven't been on track with him yet it'd be fun to see if Izzy could keep up with an sv650.

Maybe. I have very little want to go to Mid-O these days tbh. We'll see.

You're joking?

@Blitz. @bandit  @Limitedslip7

Yep!  I'm in!

How was the track in the morning? It was in great shape on Sunday afternoon. 

Monday first session was a little slick for the first couple laps, but came in great after that.  Tuesday was perfect from the get go.

Just got to say how much fun it was seeing some good friends and running around the track.  I was lucky to get Monday off and Tuesday was just as good weather wise and great to ride with Andy.  I plan to be out there again August 20/21.  Hope to see you all again and those that weren't able to come out, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Hahaha!  Yeah man, I was ~20 secs slower on Izzy.  Beat the hell out of those RoadSmart IIs!

Triumph is in the shop.  Izzy makes half the power and has touring tires...  still a blast!

Stop over and say hey. 

You should stay another day up there.

@Blitz

Yeah, doesn't seem like hes on here much...  haha!

I even volunteered to be his pit bitch/umbrella boy.  That's how fancy he is!

Do you have a current count of confirmed people to share your garages? Seems like we were in the 6-7 range.

 

Todd (not the midget) @bandit, Matthew @MatthewPowerPlug, Nathan @Limitedslip7, George @i-Zapp, Rick @durk, Me.  @street pilot?

Of course the more the merrier, have a buddy coming around 2 on his RSV4 for an evening "private fancy boy" session.  I'll hang around, might stay for Tuesday also if I'm not beat to hell.  @what should be around for Tuesday and it'll be fun to ride with him.

The lady said they have to give you the bump essentially. She asked if I had ridden before with Mid O in intermediate. I told her no but I had ridden there last year in novice. She said that she was going to sign me up for novice but to speak with the CR about the bump.

Sounds good, it helps to know what to expect from others' knowledge of how Mid-Ohio runs their track days.

We'll get it sorted out quickly.  I'm not worried.  Like Andy said, talk to the CR in your novice group and talk to the I group CR and you'll likely move along in the first couple sessions.

Just signed up. I’ll be staying in my truck Sunday night. If you need someone to share cost of a garage I can do that or I have a canopy I can use. Tried to sign up for intermediate as Todd mentioned. They would not let me do it. So novice it is. Bike is almost completely ready, I just need to swap out the tail section and remove my plate. Took it for a quick rip into town all geared up. The back protector is going to take some time to get used to. 

Garages are $50 each.  If not enough people want to join in for the second, I'll cancel it.  Just wanted to have the option of having everyone together.

Reserving garages now.  I got two, 15 and 16.  All are welcome!

Just called an no answer.  Maybe open tomorrow?

I’m trying to call to register but no answer at this point. I plan to be there. Working on prepping my bike now. 

Awesome man, cant wait to see you.

Can't get a ride down with dan, hes gonna be there all weekend and leaving Sunday. Doubt I'll have time to put a hitch on my car, buy a trailer and get it plated in time for this

You work in a shop, someone has one you can borrow.  Get down here.

Cool, there is power for warmers in the garage.  Buddy is reserving tomorrow, I'll post up the number then.
