blue03636 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'll be out. If I take the bike I will more than likely be coaching novice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica41 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I did Novice last time I was there in June. Gonna move up to intermediate this time, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Copeland Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Actually has a lot of grip unless you have slicks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhughes Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 it is still a few days away and we live in ohio .......it could and be clear and sunny or snow by this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Nelson has a lot of grip in the rain (can't speak for the new patchwork), just don't go out on 13 year old rains that have the profile of a brick... Riding in the rain is fun...kind of nerve racking as you first are trying to figure out how much traction is there. Once that initial period is over and you start to slowly push your limits, it is a great time. I'm not riding in the rain this year, only because of what happened last. but I will again in the future....just not again at Mid-O, there is no point there.

redkow97 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 not again at Mid-O, there is no point there. I literally just went through the WERA thread about them calling the event last weekend. It's a shame that track is 'officially' unrideable in the rain.

It is rideable, if that is what you call putting around constantly questioning what the bike is going to do in the next corner. Racing....no way...someone will just end up getting hurt, for what?

kramerica41 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've been on Mid Ohio in the lightest rain possible and it was like a skating rink. Not suprised MotoAmerica ditched them from the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica41 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 don't want to jinx it, but it looks like the weather may have taken a turn for the better!

blue-yamaR6s Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Does anyone know if they charge the $10 gate fee on Friday night? That being for spectators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I believe they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Just looked at the results, and i didn't see any names I recognize. Has everyone stopped racing? seemed like we had 5-10 riders from here registered for every round a few seasons ago. No Brandon, no Jinu, no Craig, no Ron... I know Steve 'officially' retired and Matt sold his bike while he's finishing law school, but what gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonStopable Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I have just had schedule conflicts with moto series events (weather didn't help either I have no desire to race in the rain ever again). That and the fact the schedule did not come out until March so it was to late for me to plan accordingly with work. If I can get the war dept. blessing I will be racing the 40 next Sunday.
