MidgetTodd Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'll officially consider it Sun night the 20th or Mon morn the 21st while staring at the radar. I know better than to ride in the wet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well, add the wife and I to the list of quitters. Her Mom is now scheduled for knee replacement surgery that weekend, so Jen is heading to TN to help out around the house the whole week. I'm trying to get more time off so I can go as well, but we're definitely out for this....sucks, but family is always first. You all enjoy and speed safely!

Looks like twilight rather than night time though. The full shadow of the moon passes just south of Columbus. Looks like we will get the most darkness at around 2pm though. Wonder if they will go an hour or 2 late to compensate? Might be worth calling them to ask. Does Mid-O have lights?

Tonik Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Just now, what said: Come join us as we sacrifice rubber to the track gods.. So yesterday I pointed out to the wife that this new bike gives me the opportunity to do track days. "Oh, so you can burn up the new tires?"

I had the Grom on track there last season when I was working. It did not set any records but it was faster than several novice times if I make this I'll be on the KTM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time on the track they have you ride far left and pit in. Then they take you far right and on the 3rd lap they show you race line. My coach was a cool guy and after mentioning I found myself wanting to go faster, he definitely picked up the pace on the 2nd session. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
