  11. Free Trackday July 2, 2018

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    This is a great opportunity to come hang with good group of like minded motorcycle nuts.  Here is the main thread about the day.  No need to have a "track bike", if you get drawn out of the hat and have a street legal bike, it'll work just fine.  Tape a couple things up and you're good to go.  Can be done the morning of.  But I don't have leathers!  Not a problem, Mid-Ohio has rental leathers available and your own two piece textile suits are enough to pass tech on your first day.  Here is the official Mid-Ohio requirements page, nothing too out of the ordinary from most street gear for the Novice group.  It's loads of fun, can't wait to see you there.

    Big thanks to Tim for organizing this day and for honoring Ryan in such a cool way.

    Ok guys and gals, we are going to do something for 1st and possibly 2nd timers (people who are new to track riding) the opportunity to do this day for free (in terms of track costs.)

    Back in 2016 @RHill (Ryan Hill) offered me a Mid-Ohio gift certificate so I could come out and ride the track the same day he was there ( I was a little tight on money at that particular time). I accepted this gracious offer and was going to pay him back with another cert the following year. Unfortunately I was never able to repay Ryan as he unexpectedly passed away that October. I'm not sure if I've ever met someone with the passion this guy had for all things track days and motorcycles. He was the first one to lend a hand and wanted everyone to have a good time. He was a staple in the paddock and is missed immensely.

    Since I was not able to pay him back, and I knew his passion for sharing his passion with other people., I am going to be giving away a Mid-Ohio gift certificate to a new track rider who would like to join us. I would prefer that person to be at least a member of OR since this is where details about this day will be posted etc. So if you had someone that was thinking about joining us for this epic day and is not a member, get them to sign up and post in here!

    You will have to let me know if this is going to be your 1st or 2nd time on track and I will keep a list of names and will draw a random number to determine the winner.

    No strings attached, and it's on the honor system in terms of how new you are to the track. I can't wait to get out there with you guys (since I wasn't able to ride last year).

    Might want to post this up in the main part of the forum so the real new track people would have an easier time catching this opportunity.

    That said, apparently Ib got his race license earlier this winter. Will make it even more satisfying to pass the bajeezus out of him every chance I get. We still need revenge for when he buzzed @jacobhawkins last year through kink. 

    haha  That was when I was missing shifts on my first day in I because of that stupid internal clutch part.  I deserved to get passed going 95 through the kink!

    We'll play it by ear man.  Might make the brew n chew afterwards at least?  I play all metal shows bro, so we tend to get rowdy ( on stage, and at the bar ) so pending my condition Sunday, we may be in?  

    Yeah man, just giving you a hard time.  :metal:

    What lap timer did you have on your bike? 

    John Corrigan followed me for a session, used his.  Have a few laps with those numbers on a friends stopwatch, too.  Also, I just count along in my head and that's what I was getting.  So poo on you bud!  Haha. Can't wait to get out there!

    Intermediate with a chance of some Advanced riders getting the OK to come tow me around.:lol: I was aboard the struggle bus all last year switching to a newer literbike. 3 seconds off the pace I was running on the daytona at Mid-Ohio. Ron towed me to a 1:53 last year. Control rider said we were running consistent 1:50's when I got bumped to I the year before. I'll gain a good portion of that back when I sack up and hold it WFO through the kink.

    Cool, we ought to have some fun this year.
