He says that he has already been in contact with Mid-ohio about renting out the facility to hold the event there. But needs to touch base with how much interest we have out here for that kind of stuff. Well i dont know about the rest fo you guys but i would be stoked to participate in this. He was talking about having the event around april to may....and registration would be in the ball park of $200-$300. For the weekend. If your interested in this Please visit this site http://www.redlinetimeattack.com/ and contact: Info@RedlineTimeAttack.com Let him know your interest in the event and how many participants u think will be interested n our area. He says we would need to have around 100 participants. -Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I'll do it if he changes the name. "OMFGBBQ TEH TIMEZ ATTAKKZORZ!!" just doesn't quite feel right, neither does "The next "Big Thing" in automotive lifestyle and motor sports events!". Personaly I've grown to distrust and mock anyone using (and more specificaly marketing) the words Automotive Lifestyle. It looks realy fun, but comes off as uncommonly gay. It's time trials racing. Its Road course autocross with other cars on the track. The cougar says modified class looks delicious. At least it's not Drifting, or toe jam or touge er whatever the hell they call it.

What kind of track times have you guys turned out at mid ohio, i ussually turn out mid to high 1.40's on a good session. Good times! Ran mid 1.50's last April, plan on lowering times with more seat time and tweak the car. Track condition were not the best last year as snow on Saturday and wet track from melting snow on Sunday. This year will have to contend with a newly paved track. Yes, they finally laid new asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil3264 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 New asphalt, wow thank god. Those concrete asphault transitions are a real pain in the ass with bikes, thats how i lowsided back in september when i was coming around turn 5 and my sidewall on my front tire hit the line where it transitions and caused the front tire to skip. Do you know if they are gonna make it all asphalt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they are gonna make it all asphalt? Yeah, it is about time that Michelle spent some money on the track. Concrete will stay. Just the asphalt is being replace. I know in the car and hitting the right line, the concrete patches are great! Of course, they are wider then the motorcycle, and the transition is not affected.

Science Abuse Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ive done two track days at mid ohio on my bike, deff an awesome track but very challenging for motorcycles. What kind of track times have you guys turned out at mid ohio, i ussually turn out mid to high 1.40's on a good session. Club or Pro course? On the Club course I run about the same in the Cougar, mid 1.50s in the bird (rip). I cant wait to get the benz out and see how it does. I'm not expecting much on the straights, but the previous owner was turning 1:13s at beaverun, 10 sec faster then the bird, its going to be the bomb diggity. Yeah, it is about time that Michelle spent some money on the track. Concrete will stay. I heard otherwise? I like the grooved concrete....untill I have to replace my tires.

Mid Ohio Begins Major Capital Improvements to Facility -11/28/2005 In keeping with its reputation as America's most competitive road course, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course is currently undergoing extensive capital improvements in preparation for its seven-event 2006 season. Among the improvements will be a complete track and pit lane resurfacing, and the creation of a connector in the track's famed Keyhole section. Also included in the project will be the removal of concrete patches from the track, the relocation of the wall and guardrail at turn one, the expansion of gravel traps at the exits of turn one and the Keyhole, the replacement of all remaining old-style catch-fencing, and the standardization of curbing throughout the circuit. TrueSports, Inc., has made continuous improvements to the renowned 2.4-mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio circuit over its 44-year history, including recent surface repairs, wall relocations and gravel trap upgrades. In addition to enhancing performance and safety, these newest improvements will give the track three road course configurations, new timing loops, additional capacity and flexibility for its track and driving school operations, a complete amateur motocross venue, and a wider range of events and activities for fans. "Continuous improvement has been a hallmark of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course since its founding," said Michelle Trueman Gajoch, president of TrueSports, Inc., the owner and operator of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and The Mid-Ohio School. "As always, our goal with these improvements is a better, safer environment for our competitors and students, and a more complete and exciting facility for fans. We look forward to unveiling the changes in 2006." The resurfacing portion of the project already has begun, and will include the milling of the entire road course and pit lane, subgrade and base reinforcement in certain areas, and drainage enhancements. Ohio's largest privately held general contractor, Fredericktown-based Kokosing Construction, is the project manager. Dublin, Ohio, firm Ronald J. Gajoch & Associates is the architect. "As with most of the design work we've overseen at Mid-Ohio, there were a lot of variables to consider," said Ron Gajoch, principal of Ronald J. Gajoch & Associates. "Maintaining the track's character, increasing its capabilities, and providing a surface that enhances safety for competitors and spectators alike were all imperative, and we've accounted for each with creative solutions." "It's a privilege to manage this project for Mid-Ohio," said Kokosing Vice President Wayne Brassell. "They've approached it with a great deal of diligence and a long-term view, and that's the same way we look at our projects. We're looking forward to working together and creating a track surface that's second to none." Columbus-based Resource International is creating the asphalt mix for the track with help from Kokosing Materials' asphalt design division. "A race track is a unique roadway, and the demands that modern racing machines place on it require a unique asphalt mix," said Kokosing Materials President Bob Bailey. "We'll be doing a great deal of testing as we proceed to ensure that the Mid-Ohio track is not only fast, but also safe, consistent and easy to maintain." Among the other off-season improvements taking place at Mid-Ohio is the completion of an on-site motocross facility. The existing motocross venue will receive a number of upgrades in order to host American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and manufacturer events. The projects are slated to be completed in advance of the track's first spectator event of 2006, the American Le Mans at Mid-Ohio (May 19-21). Other events on next year's calendar include the EMCO Gears Classic, featuring the Rolex Sports Car Series, and Unlimited Audio Accessories Triple Crown Tuner Challenge (June 23-25), AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days (July 28-30), Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire (Aug. 4-6), Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio (Aug. 18-20), National Auto Sport Association Championships (Sept. 15-17), and AMA Superbike Shootout (Sept. 29-Oct. 1).

Lambguy Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Time Attack is sweet. All those cars that can't really be classified get a change to really shoot for something. NASA TT is cool but there are no over the top cars. Time attack is what alot of Japanese tuners do to prove there cars and products. Europeans base there tuning by how fast they lap at Nurburgring. Same concepts. So certainly count me and tons of my friends in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
