PrincessPratt Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi everyone! Well unfortunately I trusted the wrong person and I do not have another person to do my track days with this coming weekend at midohio. I am very nervous...somewhat scared about doing this on my own thus I would really appreciate someone going with me. )) I am doing two novice days on Saturday 25th and Sunday the 26th. The times are from 12pm to 8pm. I have already paid and it's nonrefundable. If I were to switch it to another day/weekend I would have to pay extra as well. The whole weekend cost $375. Now I'm not sure if I'm staying in Lexington over night but I am willing to suck it up and pay for the gas if others want to go along. I will be driving my SUV and trailering my bike with a WONDERFUL friends trailor. There is room for 2 more bikes on the trailer. I have other stuff I can bring, including a very nice generator if needed but I am really hoping someone is willing to go. I never thought in a million years someone would do this to me especially seeing how expensive something like this is but it is what it is. Any takers? Please feel free to send PM or call me at 614-563-0392. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap thats alot... I will be at Putnam that weekend anyway.. G/L! and have fun!Well I work TONS of hours so I'd rather pay a tad bit more and not have to be stuck driving in my car for that long. And just an FYI, that's for 2 days. I don't think its that much of a difference in price. I know we don't get the femmoto discount at Mid Ohio but I want to make sure I actually don't have a heart attack being on the track b/f I sign up for more. Anyway I just spoke of someone on the board and got a great reality check....I'm gonna go regardless. I'm not gonna waste the money but it would still be great to have someone to go through the class with and help eachother get our bikes off the trailer.

Please understand and not be so harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessPratt Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 anyway if i didnt have plans id go... i thought some where gonna be down there on saturday for but i coudl be wrongMost are going to putnam I believe. It's quite a bit cheaper. Several knowlegeable people suggested mid ohio for my first time out. I'm only doing this to actually learn how to corner in confined environment. Ya it was a female that was initially going but it doesn't have to stay that way. AND I don't have to know you. I'm a pretty talkative person......

You'd have to go to midohio's website and sign up for it yourself. It's not the company I want so much seeing that I will have alot of class time but helping eachother out off and on the track, loading bikes, etc. I'm not the strongest girl in the bunch and I don't want to drop my bike more than I already have. I'm used to doing most things by myself but I'm using my judgement here and asking for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femmoto is great discount, I sooooo wish mid ohio honored it. Definitely go regardless! You will have fun and there will be tons of people there that will help you out. Just make sure you have someone to call in case something does happen. You'll be fine, STT has a good novice class. Have fun and keep it shiny side up!!

I will be at Putnam that weekend anyway.. G/L! and have fun!Yeah, but Jennings sucks compared to Mid-Ohio. Then, you drive at least 3000 miles which is about 6 tanks of fuel and if in a truck, that's about $400 for fuel...If you drive to Mid-Ohio and drive 3 hours, you'd save more and spend actually less. You afraid to ride Mid-Ohio?? I only ever hear everyone who never ride it complain about the cost and yet they'd drive to what? FLORIDA?!?!? Instead?!?!?

PrincessPratt Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 so is this for the school? http://www.midohio.com/School/Courses/Motorcycles/Performance-Track-RidingYes but I went into the actual "schedule" link and then hit the date for mid ohio "novice" to pay for both days. This event is actually through Sportbiketracktime.com. If you have any other questions about the even you can go to their website and email bonnie. She was a wealth of information for me....in addition to Lizard 1 on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
