Can't really put it on MS or N2 as they run their own days. I believe he's trying to start up a new trackday org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just wary of paying full price on opening day of a "new" facility. /shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) As they say, Once you go new black top you never go sideways will try one day for sure sometime in august if dates available, and might become "atracked" to it is this more "straights" kinda track? From drone views it looks like lot of straight sessions? Edited June 10, 2017 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will have to be ambulance and corner workers as the last org there got in major trouble with the tracks insurance for not providing this. As for Sam's experience he lead novice with MS and has race in motoamerica. I have no clue who he has for coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Never been to NL, but heard lots of comments from friends who race about the bad pavement. But Sweet Mother of Akron...is this that mystical place where old tires go to die? Must be a mosquito haven in the summer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't predict how much faster everyone will be in any given corner, but the new surface will open up potential for greater speed. That means that if you go down, you're sliding further ...at a track where tire walls were already closer than ideal with the slower speeds on the old surface. I would still ride it. But I would want to ride it, walk it, and ride it again before I raced it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I just had this conversation with a guy online chris... the dude tried to argue that it wouldn't be an issue if you rode within your limits you'd never go of track.... after explaining about pushing limits slowly sometimes we all make mistakes... or maybe some one else causes you to go off track... his argument changed to well look at the TT riders and IRRL they race on public roads all the time... and stay within their limits.. haha... he negated to answer me when I talked about how there is at least 1 death almost every year at the TT and that he should talk to WERA, CCS, omrl, motoamerica , BSB, WSBK and MOTOgp about staying on the track and in their limits...

Well, in the past we've seen some very intense 250 class battles... unlikely the repave will affect their lap times much, they were flat out all the time anyway!

Was more thinking an sv650 vs a 1000rr at the same time, aka open class track day. It'd be all kinds of fun if everyone was running the same displacement.

ludwb675 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm trying to get out of my Sunday obligation to make it. Weather looks like it's clearing up a bit. Hopefully there are a few empty spots still in intermediate where i can walk up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
