Which means I will have to tape up my bike after I get there. Figure I will be at the gate long before the 6:45 opening and tape it up then on the side of the driveway. Wait... you're riding your bike to the track?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you have your shit set up and ready to roll through tech. Plus it's extra hang out time with the people that do the same. I know that Dan (Jester) is going to be there Sunday evening. Which brings me to why I came in here in the first place, who all is showing up Sunday night? I asked for experienced track guys.... I'm just kidding. Are you going to be there for this?

You are lucky that 1, Mid-Ohio's Novice is too structured for me to ever want to go back, 2 one of my buddy's is riding my 1k this weekend. The track is a whole different can of worms than them Toledo roads you've been riding. Edited August 15, 2017 by TimTheAzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV, but I target arrival no later than 7:30AM. It all depends on how much you need to do to unpack. I'm a minimalist - No canopy, no generator, bike is already fueled up and ready to roll. Arrive, Park, Unload Bike, Pay, Tech, Say hi to folks, Riders Meeting, Suit up. A few of the Intermediate guys suit up before the Riders Meeting in case it runs long and they get the "5 minute call" that they're on track right after the meeting is over. Novice guys typically head to classroom right after the riders meeting, but have plenty of time to suit up after class while I/A is out on the track.

Limitedslip7 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm a slacker and usually show up at like 8-8:30. I usually skip the 1st Intermediate session to let the track heat up and the dew to dry off. Gives me plenty of time to get my gear out and tires warmed up. I'm usually pooped after six sessions anyways... I would find myself making a lot of mistakes and cramping at the end of the day if I ride 7 sessions hard. Need to get my ass in better shape I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'll be there Sunday night if possible, I'm not a morning person. I would much rather wake up Monday morning already in the parking lot, drop the bike off the trailer and make brap brap noises almost immediately.

ludwb675 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just an FYI they redid starting times a bit this year. Session 1 starts at 8:45 instead of 9:00 (after riders meeting) Session 4 starts at 12:30 instead of 1:00 (after lunch) So last session of the day (session 7) starts at 3:30 with everyone off the track by 4:30.

Do they have a usual order of the way groups go off. Is it usually Novice then intermediate then Advanced or does it vary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
