jacobhawkins Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I just signed up for the 3rd. Got a garage. Another coach buddy is coming along for his first track day. Excited to have the daytona in it's natural habitat. Shit, I need to swap tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of time for the weather to turn around. Not going to look at weather again until Saturday. This is my last opportunity to get to the track until late august though so I'm motivated.

I hope so, I need seat time after mido last year and the gsxr needs dialed in for the endurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'll be checking the weather Friday morning. I don't like doing the walk-in thing after getting stuck in novice last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ooooh I didn't even notice there was a track day on the 3rd, I just saw the Twilight on the 2nd. In for sure pending weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Is two peice suit with 360 okay for going for novice as well as intermediate Edited June 28, 2017 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 If it's a leather suit that zips together at the waist to turn into a 1-piece, that's fine for novice/intermediate. Textile that zips together is ok for novice, but not intermediate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 7 hours ago, NinjaDoc said: Is two peice suit with 360 okay for going for novice as well as intermediate All riders must wear one or two-piece suits with substantial reinforcement and padding in critical areas (knees, elbows, shoulders at a minimum.) • INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED GROUP riders must wear one or two piece leather suits designed for motorcycle use. Two-piece leathers must provide at least 50% attachment between jacket and pants. • NOVICE GROUP riders must wear one or two piece leather or ballistic suites. It is recommended that two-piece suits provide attachment between jacket and pants. • INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED GROUP riders MUST wear a back protector designed for motorcycle competition in lieu of, or in addition to, the standard back padding in their suit. http://www.midohio.com/images/pdf/2017 Waiver Packet PTR2.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwb675 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I was told end of last year that two-piece was not going to be accepted for intermediate this year by one of the techs (i was wearing a two-piece at the time). I bought a better one-piece over winter. Not sure if they are enforcing that, i kind of doubt it. But something to keep in mind if you are buying a suit.

I hope they dont change, i dont fancy myself wanting to step up any higher than intermediate ever. How long do we need to be in novice before given a chance to I group?

Novice guaranteed for the first 2 days at the track unless you ask to be bumped and can run 1:58'ish or faster lap times consistently. You can ask to be bumped on your first day, it's up to the lead control rider to say yes or no after being evaluated by a coach. also, I see you posting in this thread.. you coming Timmo?

I would start with the 2-piece. If they ever say anything about it, then you can look for a nice used 1-piece to use at the track.
