Scorpion-Ninja Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hello, this weekend I plan on attending 1 or 2 days. Its months away, but I cant do the normal Ohio PTRs on Monday-Tuesday! Will anyone here be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm sure once we get September 16th or 17th, some of us will be able to tell you 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 My schedule is currently open for those dates, so I'm a likely if the weather is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion-Ninja Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 cool, yea aside from the normal STT days at Gingerman & Grattan near me, Mid-Ohio. I'm also looking at doing a N2 trackday at PittRace at least once. Fun track from videos ive seen! From my house Grattan is 172 miles, Gingerman 202, Mid-Ohio 210, PittRace 282. Nelson Ridges is like 234 but that track layout looks boring and from the videos ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fantastic. Fun is an understatement, from the track to the surrounding facilities its a premier track on the east coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion-Ninja Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Few more weeks to go. Hopefully weather is nice! If so I'm planning on doing 9-19/20th! Hows Mid-Ohio been this season? Track any worse in spots? Have they laid down fresh pavement in any areas? Just curious . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mid-ohio... so, treacherous in the wet and polished smooth on the racing line LOL Some areas like the bottom of the hill in turn 8? are really beat up, and the keyhole has a couple really shitty patches that I try to avoid. HEADS UP!!! They've been cancelling TONS of days, so expect the first day of a chunk will still be good, but the 2nd or 2nd and 3rd days will likely be cancelled due to low enrollment. So if it's Fri/Sat/Sun, expect only Friday will happen. If it's a Mon/Tues, they'll cancel Tuesday. They are sending out emails a day ahead now, but still... Someone at the last day said they cancel if they don't get 40+ bikes pre-registered but I don't know how accurate that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion-Ninja Posted September 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 aye, guess with the RONAPOCALYPSE , I might just wait to go to ACC Autobahn) the weekend after mid ohio. I'd hate to prepay, only to have it cancelled like you said, then have "Credit" on my midohio account that might not even get used up the next year! lol Hopefully next season shit is normal, but I doubt it with how shits going down in Merkua' !

EazyE Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 So they've still been having track days? I haven't gotten anyone to answer the phone in weeks. How has it been, what changes have been made due to covid? I was planning on the 18th, what happens when they cancel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RymerC Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Yes- still having track days. People wear masks, you have to fill out a brief medical questionnaire and turn it in at the gate, and have your temp taken. Not sure what happens when they cancel, I think they email you a certificate good for 2 years for whatever you paid for. If you email info@midohio.com or whatever is on the website I'd expect a response within a couple hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike22 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I tried to call Mid-Ohio on several occasions last week but didn't receive a response. Also sent email with no luck either. Did anyone else get through and happen to find out what the current enrollment numbers are for 9/18 - 9/20? It would be nice to get an update from them on whether upcoming track days are 25%, 50%, 75% full, etc. so people can plan their trip accordingly..

It would be nice to get an update from them on whether upcoming track days are 25%, 50%, 75% full, etc. so people can plan their trip accordingly.. This email was sent earlier this evening Just a reminder that there is NO PTR on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 (tomorrow)! We canceled it last week after learning that IndyCar would be here this weekend and we has safety concerns due to the excessive amount of rubber that would be left on the track. Tonight (yes, I know it is Sunday) is the first chance I've had to look at my email since Wednesday. Many of you have sent emails requesting to be added to rosters using gift certificates. I hope to get through the requests in the next day or two. Sometime Wednesday will be decision day for Friday's PTR and we'll need to decide before the end of day Thursday whether to run the rest of the weekend. If you are planning to ride on any of the days remaining this year, please register! I will no longer try to guess which day or days are 'safer' as I feel it discourages riders from signing up for the other days. The remaining dates are: Fri Sept 18 (2:30-8) Sat Sept 19 (2:30-8) Sun Sept 20 (2:30-8) Mon October 5 (12-6) Tues Oct 6 - Appreciation Day (more info to follow) Mon Oct 12 (12-6) Full day gift certificates can be used for any of these dates (no refund/credit for any price difference). Twilight gift certificates can be used plus $10 for the upgrade. Thank you.

I'll be honest - I'm the last one to ask for updates/info for Mid-Ohio. I stopped riding there in 2016 and won't be back until they repave the damn place.

Yes, I had a buddy stop out last year to see if he wanted to try track riding. He had a high end camera and they let him wander all over the place and use the photographer cutouts. They even gave him suggestions on where to take some good pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm signed up for friday (if they don't cancel) and haven't been in a few years. I went in novice last time and my bike was safety wired but my new bike isn't. Do I need to apply silicone for novice if I have no wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you just have to remove your license plate and cover your glass. Also, no oil filters with a nut on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 i thought the download packet said silicone last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyE Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yea it only says wiring is required in intermediate and advanced and that silicone is only allowed in novice. Doesn't say whether it's actually required in novice or not. I may just run to the store and grab some anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's required, but regardless, it's cheap insurance knowing you hopefully won't dump oil all over the track and ruin not only your day, but everyone elses as well.
