Limitedslip7 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Going to my first twilight tomorrow night at Mid-Ohio, 9/14. Anyone else going? I've only done one Intermediate session but I'm running 1:50-1:52 laptimes now so I figure I should be fine. Might be a little chilly at 66 though! Also, does anyone who rode the last Mid-Ohio twilight remember if a tall guy in black leathers wrecked a red/black 1998 Honda 900RR? I also got an invite to a free Mid-Ohio trackday on Oct 7th for riding more than four trackdays this year! Anyone been to one of these?

I was at last years customer appreciation day and who complain about a free trackday? Already signed up for the 7th. Sign up before all of the spots are taken.

Limitedslip7 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I rode terribly. Feels like a wasted day since I didn't learn anything or get faster. I was killing it (for me) at the last trackday but this one felt like two steps back, I just couldn't get into it and focus for some reason. Oh well, there is still Oct 7th! Can't end the season on a sour note... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yesterday was crazy. A LOT of guys that were either really not qualified to be there or people were just wiggin out over the track temp. All I know is that it was crazy. Red flags all day every 1/2 hour it seemed and clumps of riders that were just riding tense and stressed. A few notable guys running where I expected, but it was crazy yesterday. But, it wasn't near an issue as most made it to be and the track was pretty good. But, a trackday is better than sitting at home watching TV.

Moto-Brian Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Seems like its always that way. Was is worse than usual? Yes. I think the cooler track temps made everyone a little skiddish. But a lot of new faces and many that shouldn't run Twilights. The Twilights are to be for experienced (Mid to upper level ) Intermediates and Advanced riders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
