@F4iguy I have a non OR buddy coming in for this.  He's up for throwing in for a garage if there is still room in yours...

I can move to F4 so he can be with you, np.

He's doing this so he doesn't have to look me in the eye after each session.  

But just so you can get yourself mentally prepared, here is a good preview of something to get used to because you'll see a lot of it ...

Appreciate it, but no worries, we'll be right next to each other anyway, one big happy OR family.  Speaking of which, is @Casper coming, or does he even ride anymore?

Only because I can't pass you in the corners. My superior cornering was how I dusted you on 536. See you in intermediate.

all this shit talk but you guys are going to be passing only when your CR says you can.

Exactly.  If you want to race, come down to an OMRL race.  I have two bikes and would happily sit out a race to watch Derek and Tonik battle it out on 6 hp bikes.

If/when I sell the Duc I'm using that money on an XR100. Dirt training to get a feel for drift/loss of traction AND play road rash in real life.

This is tame. You should see the texts.

You guys be taking it too seriously.  We are just trolling each other.  I guess we've achieved a new level of success.  The texts are far better than this tame forum banter.

Life is serious, jokes are for children and animals.

Either way, we should have room.  We have 3 confirmed - this will make 4.

No luck needed. I'll be driving the Tesla.

 

 

Any moron can turn a perfect run with it. Kinda pisses me off, I had a 9 second SS when I was a kid. But it would only do a 9 if I did my part. Damn kids these days with their computer controled launch crap.

Yeah, I figured you'd be in the Tesla.  I drove a p90d with ludicrous mode a year ago and it was nuts.   Mash the pedal and you're gone.  No sounds,  no squeal, nothing, just woooooosh.  Weird, fun, but weird.

So I just checked, this one isn't Ludicrous. Its gonna be a race. But he will still have to be perfect.

Still won't be a race.  The 0-60 times posted for bikes are unattainable by mortals like us.

I went online to register and apparently they cut off online registration Friday at 12.  I tried to call in and got no answer.  They have changed their website around a lot and I can't tell if Monday the 21st is full or not.  Is there anything on the web that lets you know?  I would hate to get packed up and make the trip to turn around at the gate.

Try calling a little later today. I'm not aware of any way to check how full a course is online.

I'll be there Sunday afternoon for the Twilight event.  I can probably check then and post up the answer by 4pm or so if that helps.  What group?

My buddy had the same issue, he'll be in novice and I'm sure he'd appreciate a heads up if it's full.  Thanks man.
