TwiztedRabbit Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 bumping down never hurt anyone.. I've done it in the past when I was a newer int rider.. and I did it as a new advanced rider a few years back when I had yet to run advanced at the other track.. (ended up being bumped without asking..) no one is out there to get on ya for dropping down one to be safe and learn more.. if they do.. fug em.. they aren't the people you want around..(razzing is the exception you sandbaggers)hell the wife dropped down 1 group when she bought the newer cbr just to shake it down and feel it out.. she was back in her normal group a few sessions later after talking to a coach (we are here to help!) we're all out there to learn and have fun.. and its very hard to do both when your in a group or track that your not ready for or accustomed too!

MotoBella Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I did my first one, on the last one of the season in October. ...every one is soooo helpful! Great group of people! The weather was a little crappy, cold and wet, but it was a blast!!! I am so looking forward to going back and being on warm pavement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Makes sense.I'll probably learn more about the track running a slower pace for a few sessions,plus I'll have no clue how the SV will handle.Probably a good idea. Especially with a new bike and early in the season. At Jennings your first time there, they make you do one session in novice no matter what. You get to practice pit in and pit out and get used to the layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_ Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The track is slippery enough in the first 2 sessions that everyone takes it easy for awhile. I honestly like the Monday/Tuesday track days there. I get a decent amount of vacation so its nice to just head to the track on a whim and im normally back home and unpacked by 730.

RHill Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I hope to hit up a few days there this year and really hope to make it to the wera races. I need to read up about WERA rules, but yeah....count me in for races at Mid-O. We need to plan out a OR day Mid-O....would be cool to get to know some more screen names in person. Maybe even get some street guys out to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxkat1100 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I would be in for an OR day, but no race bike here. My bikes aren't track worthy, and parts are getting harder to come by if I break something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpgasser Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Maybe even get some street guys out to the track. I will be there this year...picked up a GSX-R600 just for the purpose of Track Days. Too much talking about it...need to commit and do a few this season, 11 years off the track is too long! DPG.

TimTheAzn Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 +1 on an OR Mid-Ohio day. I plan on getting out at least once this year to Mid-O. So long as my car holds together. My bike would have to bum a ride from someone in NEO though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'll be going to as many Mid O days as i can this year. Made it to 4 last year. Planning on the April date if the weather is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Any info on the gift cert discount this year?No idea about the gift certificates discount,call midohio office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Discount is available using code 25riding15. Enjoy!! I'm going to pick up a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 So if I pick up a couple of Gift Certificates, can I use them for any dates that I wish? Also, can I decide a few days out on which dates I choose? To assure decent weather conditions. DPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yep, I've weather watched and signed up the day before using the gift certs; hasn't been a late registration penalty applied. Dave, your going to get hooked! Thanks for posting up the code....after I hear back how many I still have from last year, I'll be picking up a few more.

Habi Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ya the gift certificates are nice not only because they are cheaper but no late penalty. Signed up the day of with no late fees as well. I figure it's 45 off since I won't sign up 10 days out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Great! Bought 2 days...the discount code worked. Probably do 2 days at Nelsons also. DPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 What kind of bikes are y'all planning to take to the track? Especially those of you doing the Novice class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aforrest4 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 What kind of bikes are y'all planning to take to the track? Especially those of you doing the Novice class? I have coached Full sized BMW baggers, Ninga 250s, Ducati 1098s, 600s, FZ-6s, etc.I have even seen Victory 8 ball cruisers out on track days. Run what you brung!!!

TwiztedRabbit Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 ^ what he said.. there are some clearance issues with certain bikes when in doubt call the school and ask.. but I've had the same experiences.. from councours 14's (hard bags removed) to motards... we welcome most (say most due to some restrictions on bikes) if your bike has a center stand that has to come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Very nice, I'll probably bring my DL650 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Very nice, I'll probably bring my DL650 then.Hell yes, and you won't regret it - more fun than street riding ANYWHERE imo, controlled environment, prepped surfaces, the only speed limit is set by your comfort level, and medical on site just in case....you'll likely find it as addictive as the rest of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 it isn't addictive....I just choose not to stop forreal though, the track removes a lot of the "what ifs" that can happen on the street; it enables greater focus on your riding. it's still winter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Great! Bought 2 days...the discount code worked. Probably do 2 days at Nelsons also. DPG. You're putting ideas in my head Dave. I just ordered 2 days of certs for mid ohio + a new set of Q3s for the CBR. Thanks for the code Habi. It will be nice to check the weather before signing up. No more rainy days there for me.
