Trackbikez Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 There was A LOT of people going down today though. 9 alone in the keyhole by 2pm; hopefully not anymore after that. They were saying the new patch was the majority of the problem. Count me as one of the 9. Was trying to go outside a couple of riders, hit the new patch job and low sided instantly. Disappointed as I was trying out some Pirelli slicks and they were awesome up to that point. Definitely feel I could have hit a new PR in the afternoon if I could have ridden. I had scares on each of the three morning sessions at the keyhole because of "the Patch". Sorry to hear about the few unfortunate folks here.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Great track day yesterday, aside from everyone going down. Learned a lot , ready for the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Just woke up and it's still raining. I think I'll stay here in medical all day, not going outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 All parts are on order, thinking about going back Aug. 25th. Need to check the schedule first. I am ordering vortex rear sets as well as stock, just in case. Still can't believe how many went down. Extremely upset I went down so early. Thanks Todd for hanging out with us, the tips and checking on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I wouldn't worry about stock. Just the Vortex and two spare pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-yamaR6s Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Does anyone know if they will still race in the rain? Could it be delayed? I have tickets for today and tomorrow and driving 100 miles to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain has finally died down and we will keep our fans posted with schedule changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 They will if it is a little wet.. But the Superbike guys went out early and said it's too unsafe at its current condition.. So rain delay until conditions improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 What a day. Nothing like watching cars try to run the track dry all day at the bike races I'd like to punch mother nature right square in her suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 So, I have never been to the races here, or even mid Ohio for that matter. Can anyone help me out about what to expect? I'm going tomorrow. You picked the right day! The format looks to be as if they are going to try and fit in both days into one. The best viewing points are the Keyhole (On the left - large grassy hill with a billboard) the esses off the back straight (Drive over the bridge and the big grass area and Thunder Valley into the entrance of the Carousel. You'll love the track as it offers some great viewing points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue-yamaR6s Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Agreed...bummer no racing today. They would get the track dry and it would start raining again!!! Tomorrow should be a good day, fingers crossed. Saw a few Motoseries guys there too and talked to them. Be back again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Heres one of my novice sessions. I started out in group 6, because I'd never been on mid ohio before. The CR told me to move to a faster group. I spoke with the guy running the novice group, and he told me to meet him in hot pit for the next session. We ran a session between group 2 and 3 and then ran a session behind group 1. He then threw at me we were going out in front of group 1, and thats what him and I did the rest of the day. Heres the first session him and I went out ahead of group one. My lines aren't perfect, but I sure had fun. The SV is way more fun on the track than I ever imagined.

Trackbikez Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Session from yesterday towards the end of the day. That matches up with my video from the sixth session. You fly by on the inside heading into turn two around the 2:30 mark -- never to be seen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
