Trackbikez Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was hoping to walk-in on Monday. Did they mention how many spots were left in each group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I did not ask. Make me an offer on the spot if you want, I'm just too busy this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with that, but I'm not made of money and I can ride the streets for just gas money. the track would cost me a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be over two bills for Monday. BTW, hoping to pit with someone that has a garage. Any forum members going to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackbikez Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Currently Weather.com for Lexington, OH on July 4th: Quote A steady rain early. Showers with perhaps a rumble of thunder developing in the afternoon. High 74F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected. Locally heavy rainfall possible. Accuweather only gives it a 60% chance. I'm afraid I'll be bowing out for Monday You guys that do decide to go, hope you get the other side of that 80% and have fun on a dry track!

Vagabound Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well if everyone stays home and I get a free and open track to 1p, money well spent! Posted in another thread, but I'm in need to borrow a back protector. I'd rather not spend the money on a new one. Left mine in Texas.

MidgetTodd Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Heed the warnings in riders meeting on track condition if it rains since you've not rode there before, Mid O is slicker than shit when wet. Few if any will ride. Matt is one of the few coaches that will go out when wet. He'll gladly tow you. I don't go out when wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they will cancel and give credits for another day if it's that dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabound Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well, if your going to be away from your family on a holiday, that IS the way to do. The rain gods blessed us with over cast sky's and a dry track till about 3:34p. That was THE emptiest track day I've ever done. Being at Mid-Ohio was just cherry! Big thanks to instructor Rick. Sorry about the first session talking to you received. When you wave me by, I'm grabbing some throttle. After the verbal spanking, Rick proved to be very knowledgable and had the most excellent personality to be a coach! Of course track days aren't worth it unless you meet some awesome people. Ohio Riders were well represented, however I'm terrible with names. Very nice catching up with Mark Junge, oh the memories. Such a class act and a ambassador to the sport. Have to say it was a bitter pride pill in the Novice class. When I finally got to Intermediate the big drops of rain started. Two and a half laps in and people started to drop like flies. Seeing THE most expensive bike on the track go down made me think about going out again so I just packed everything up. Good times, those who were scared about the forecast missed out!
