OSUYZFR1 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 i know this is a bit much to ask, but for the sake of any late trigger pullers on here, could you post when you get close to selling out in any particular group for the weekend?if you can't, no worries. figured it couldn't hurt to ask.thank you!+1 Waiting to see what the weather is going to be like before I commit. Know of a couple others doing the same thing. Probably only do one of the days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 For the upcoming weekend, our experienced track coaches will be able to assist you in tuning your bike for our track. The extent to what they can accomplish is somewhat limited as they will not have time to completely rebuild a suspension, mainly tune.Moving forward in the season various track coaches will be available throughout the day to help you with all of your suspension needs.No offense but you guys really should evaluate any of your instructors that help someone set their suspension. I had one of them "help" me one time just to see the results and they cranked my shit so tight that tucking the front was almost guaranteed.. As soon as he walked away, I reset my suspension to my normal track settings and then adjusted for the temp that day. Im not saying they are all like this but you have allot of students that place trust in them and not all of them know how to properly set suspension.. Its just something to think about not only from Mid-O's perspective but also for anyone asking one of them for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm considering one of these days. I'll be watching the forecasts and deciding last minute. I'd be interested in splitting a garage with someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in splitting a garage with someone.Right there with you! I'll probably make my decision around Tues-Weds based on weather forecast. If you make a garage rental before then let me know. I still have your cell # also if I get one before you let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 quit hatin.Not hating at all. Its just a valid issue that both Mid-O and the riders going should be aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wasting money cruising around on a wet track. I did that once last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Forecast looks absolutely horrible... can't beleive i just wasted 400 bucks. lesson learned i guessEverybody buy rain tires, maybe the weather will clear up. I can't believe this either those days are the only days with rain in the forecast out of all 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Even with rain tires, the track will still be really slick. Being super smooth and even slowing way down for the turns will be key if you plan on going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I was more saying for superstition not to actually use them.^ works every time. I do everyone at the track the courtesy of making sure my tent is fully tarped over, and able to withstand hurricane-force winds.Generally this results in 78 degrees and sunny for the entire weekend.the ONE time i've tried to sleep with my rain fly off (not a drop of rain in the forecast btw), I woke up soaked, and had to sleep in my truck from 4 AM on.Don't sweat the forecast. I would be pretty surprised if it doesn't change between now and the weekend anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 +1 ^ I've watched it for the last several days and its changed almost daily. By Thursday evening it should be fairly close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suntorn Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I guess a garage would have been a smart choice. Anyone want to go halves? hell, i'll sit in my jeep as long as i can park the 1krr inside... or maybe i'll just buy a canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'll be there both days due to my friend and I'll get a garage if someone want to confirm sharing on it. They are $50/day and we can work something out to stay out of the sun and any less polite weather. PM me if that sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I hope that weather pushes back a day. My bike's not coming off the truck at MO if it's raining. I'll be there though because it's paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
