Jester_ Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Im not sure how exactly each class is going to be ran, but was going to call closer to the day and figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yeah, I'd really like to make the 2nd if funds allow. Probably roll in Sunday night if I do. Wish the air fence would go in first and this would just be a track run event to celebrate all the track improvements...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslocum Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 A possibility. Why only 5-20 minute sessions? Should be 7 I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 They are probably having some discussion about the fence and crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslocum Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Been on PIRC website and can't find this event anywhere. Who's hosting this? Interested but need more concrete info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) I just called and spoke to Mitch from PIRC. He said that they wanted NESBA to put it on but they were to busy so the track is putting on the day. He said they were going to follow the NESBA rules for advanced/intermediate and when I asked about how a novice group would be ran he said they would have control riders from NESBA as well as some from the European motorcycles track days that are put on.

Sucks we couldn't get Todd at Motoseries involved to run the day. Another good place to promote MS in my opinion. I wonder why they didn't contact Todd if NESBA wouldn't do it.

Jester_ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not sure. Maybe theu still could if it was brought up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Doubt he could do anything on Sunday since there is racing at Nelson that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Maybe we could represent MS in some capacity on Monday. I'm sure they could use some racers for Novice or CR's for the I group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Very lightly considering doing the Monday event. Not to cr though... Need to get my beaver fix since I didn't get to play last time out there. I guess that'll depend on if any of the cool kids are going.

redkow97 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 NESBA may not be doing much at PIRC in the future. They are doing dates at the NY safety track, and I suspect that is killing their business at PIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 NESBA was at PIRC once a month when I started riding with them in 2008. Now they are there twice a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Please don't talk about NYST, my wallet doesn't like when you talk about NYST. Shit, I just looked NESBA is there the 24th and 25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
