redkow97 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Tire Warmers in novice would be counterproductive IMHO. your pace won't hold the heat the Warmers generate. That means your grip will actually DEcrease as the first few laps go by. I can't foresee that ending well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have no problem being open minded and I really want to learn, improve, and eventually move up. I just want to learn to do all of these things without being a danger to myself or anyone else out there.Get plenty of sleep before your Novice day's,they are long and exhausting !But well worth every minute !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sleep is crucial. My last track day, I was so tired by the end of it, I had a buddy drive me home. I was still going on adrenaline , but once that wore off, I could barley hold my head up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcel Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just bought myself three single day gift certificates and a pair of Q3's. Bring on some nice weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just bought myself three single day gift certificates and a pair of Q3's. Bring on some nice weather! Buyone more and you get invited to the free track day in October! Assuming they have it again this year that is. I bought four gift certs back in January when they were $25 off each one. Can't wait for some warm weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 If you already bought 3 days call midohio and tell them you just bought 3,and you want one more,so you got the option to reschedule one day if need it.if you don't care about the reschedule option,you can buy another day later.to be eligible for the track day in October,you must purchase least 4 track days the entire season.if you have 7 + days ,you will participate in raffle,where you can win free next season .

Habi Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I would think you need to schedule the track days at once, not buy gift certificates at once. However rusty may know best with this. Last year they were pushing this at there opening day saying you could still qualify if you signed up for more.

lowcel Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I spoke to a very nice lady this morning and I paid for another track day. Since it's my first track day there (and thanks to Rusty) I received a discount but I did have to pick a date. She told me the four day rule applies and I will be able to cancel or postpone a day. See you all on April 18th and 19th. Bring on the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcel Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Kind of bored so checking my bike over today and playing around with safety wiring. Most of the bike is already done but some of it has holes but no wire. Very relieved to see that the oil drain bolt and filter are already wired. I can't believe how little room there is to get in there to change the filter though. I did get to practice safety wiring on the front brake. I don't think I did too bad. I wish the previous owner had drilled two holes in each bolt but they didn't. Anyway, I plan to have everything safety wired even though I'll be riding novice.

In the last picture your safety wire is actually pulling the top bolt in the loosening direction. On aircraft safety wire must always pull in a direction that pulls the bolt tight. I know this isn't an aircraft and the FAA isn't going to pop you for it but an observant tech inspector may give you a hard time about it.

I doubt anyone will say anything, the wire is just there to keep the bold from coming all the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yeah, lowcel...that last pic should be lockwired over the top bolt if you're not drilling a 2nd hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
