Sidewinder600 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I finally managed to snag a cheap track bike, so it looks like I'll be holding some of you bastards up in the keyhole this year. A few questions to start off: From what I gather, it looks like some (relatively) close tracks are Mid-O, Nelson, Putnam, and PittRace, Grattan prolly if I stay overnight. I've done MO a few times a few years back when they did those KTM days, but that's all I know. Any others, and anything big to be aware of at those tracks?Is anybody else in Delaware or close enough to maybe split some rides/tows/gas occasionally? I have a smaller SUV that can tow a small trailer (prolly 2 bikes max), but as of now I have to deal with the pain-in-the-assery of renting from U-Haul as I don't have my own trailer.Are there any discounts offered at any of the local tracks or track day orgs? I'm thinking group buys, forum discounts, multi-pass pricing, veteran's discounts, anything really. Are pets allowed at any of them? My 100 lb. feces generator has made it clear on several occasions he's not happy being locked in the house for 15 hours at a time.Feel free to chime in with whatever other advice/insults you see as appropriate.

Hollywood33 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sweet! We always love some fresh meat! As I'm sure you know, most of us are definitely Motoseries enthusiasts. That's where I started and I haven't found the need to leave since, although I've done track days with a bunch of other orgs along the way. Nelson is our much-loved home track, and yes it's bumpy, but fun as hell and eventually you really don't even think about that crap. Pitt Race is also a fun track and pretty easy to learn. Motoseries also has top-notch instruction available (unless you get fucked and get Craig) and really sets you up to be a great rider. I've actually somehow never ridden Mid O (probably because we don't race there), but I know a bunch of us are planning on hitting a few days this year. I live in Cleveland but will be in Columbus this summer, and there are track guys everywhere in between. Shouldn't be a problem to ride share to just about any event you want to hit, just post up in here. And I know my friends have brought dogs to the track, and its never been a problem as long as they are generally not vicious killers and are kept on a leash/chain (although it's easier if you have a non-rider with you to hang out in the pits with the pup). Anyway, welcome, and hope you don't mind pissing away large amounts of money! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 So harsh. I thought we had something being your first coach. I really have nothing to add other than I don't think mido allows pets but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiztedRabbit Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Welcome to the madness. . I offer nothing else that the moto series guys dont already offer.. Mainly because there isn't anything any of those homos won't do.. moto series is a great group mid o offers great coaching and same with the days at putnam. I personally am out of columbus. And do mostly putnam and mid o days. Mid o from my understanding doesn't allow pets.. putnam does as long as in an enclosure or leashed at all times. There is a forum discount of like $10 or $15 for mid o I think during checkout it is code forum2014. Any questions ask.. a lot of us here are control riders.. and there are a ton of enthusiasts around Edited April 9, 2014 by TwiztedRabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Just kidding about the Craig part. As much as I hate to admit it, I did my first novice track day with Craig and he is part of the reason I fell in love with this shit and stuck around. With that being said, "poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master," and I ain't poor if you know what I'm saying. And fuck off, Kevin.

blue03636 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 You have been bitter since Brian quit coming around. Everyone should aspire to be faster than their coach. I still have one goal left unfinished that I set in 09 and that is to beat sexton, I think this is my year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowdog Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Its a trap!!! If Madcatt gets back out there this season DEFINITELY do not fall for the "hey let me show you my toy hauler" trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Clay Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sidewinder, I see you have some good taste in bikes.... I hope that xr650r has motard tires on it and join me in the back of the pack!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder600 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Seems like half the reason somebody would want a dog with them is to protect them from all the butt stuff. Kinda tough to rely on a security system that can be disabled with peanut butter though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Zip it, Chucky. You'll have plenty of time to be goofin' with me on the track since we'll both back in the back. Well, not THE back...Steve will probably still be occupying that spot. He-He. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'll be sure to give the stabilizer jacks an extra turn so the trialer doesn't tip over from all the rockin', Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
