Just signed up. I’ll be staying in my truck Sunday night. If you need someone to share cost of a garage I can do that or I have a canopy I can use. Tried to sign up for intermediate as Todd mentioned. They would not let me do it. So novice it is. Bike is almost completely ready, I just need to swap out the tail section and remove my plate. Took it for a quick rip into town all geared up. The back protector is going to take some time to get used to. 

back protector makes things a little tighter but you get used to it, and start to feel naked when you don't wear it while riding.

Garages are $50 each.  If not enough people want to join in for the second, I'll cancel it.  Just wanted to have the option of having everyone together.

Reserving garages now.  I got two, 15 and 16.  All are welcome!

Jacob, thanks much for getting the two garages reserved! I'm fine if we split costs with 2-5 bikes per garage. I wouldn't cancel the second garage. Just to be clear though, I'm only going to be riding on Monday.

Do you have a current count of confirmed people to share your garages? Seems like we were in the 6-7 range.

I'm hoping to get down there earlier than later on Sunday, would be cool to see some of the Vintage bike racing if it is still going by then.

Since this is my first time riding at Mid-Ohio, per their rules, I was forced to sign-up for Novice (like someone else mentioned as well) even though I've been riding with STT over several years (mostly at Grattan and GingerMan). Hopefully I can get bumped up during the first session (or maybe even before if they are willing when I talk with them at the track?).

Just speak with a CR in the morning and tell them you'd like an evaluation for a bump to I. I doubt you'll get get a bump before an eval. What will probably happen is, after speaking with a CR in the morning before/after rider's meeting, you will go out for Novice session 1, then you'll go back out during the I session right afterward for an eval with one of the CRs.

Sounds good, it helps to know what to expect from others' knowledge of how Mid-Ohio runs their track days.

@durk why wouldn’t they let you sign in I ? 

The lady said they have to give you the bump essentially. She asked if I had ridden before with Mid O in intermediate. I told her no but I had ridden there last year in novice. She said that she was going to sign me up for novice but to speak with the CR about the bump.

We'll get it sorted out quickly.  I'm not worried.  Like Andy said, talk to the CR in your novice group and talk to the I group CR and you'll likely move along in the first couple sessions.

Todd (not the midget) @bandit, Matthew @MatthewPowerPlug, Nathan @Limitedslip7, George @i-Zapp, Rick @durk, Me.  @street pilot?

Of course the more the merrier, have a buddy coming around 2 on his RSV4 for an evening "private fancy boy" session.  I'll hang around, might stay for Tuesday also if I'm not beat to hell.  @what should be around for Tuesday and it'll be fun to ride with him.

Hey I’ve also reserved a garage. Sounds like we may even be over-garaged now. Pretty sure they gave me #18.  I’ll write “I-zapp” on a pitboard out front. It’d be cool if I could at least split with one other. Riding A group fwiw. 

 

Also - Nathan, I’ll bring the PTR gift certs for your buddy.

Bike loaded up and pretty much all set to leave in about an hour after I run to town for dinner with my daughter. Looking forward to beating on the bike tomorrow.

Don’t worry about including me in the garage I wasn’t planning on it. The sun might help my spray paint dry HA!

but I can chip in if I’m upsetting the balance for everyone else.
