redkow97 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 This is ridiculous. What are the chances that the weather forecast is exactly the same as it was for the April 24 Mid-Ohio track day that got rained out. Mother nature really has it in for us this spring.buy spare rims and rain tires. it'll never rain again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 buy spare rims and rain tires. it'll never rain again.Sounds like a good plan. I'll take the rims and tires off the street bike and bring them "just in case" it rains, and then it won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looks like the storm might be rolling through a little earlier than they originally thought. Hoping it will clear up a little throughout the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yet another shitty forecast for rain on a track day I was too lazy to get my bike ready for. I still may come up and watch you guys ride in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidewaysmike Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 It rained in the morning on Saturday, then cleared up for a while after lunch, then it poured down a little later.... but overall it wasn't too bad.I only saw the crash truck go out maybe 3-4 times all day.I'm already signed up for the next one..... currently the forecast looks good for the 4th & 5th.

deion27 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Besides the crappy weather, I really enjoyed this track on Saturday. Especially when we had a few hours of dry weather (just enough for the track to dry up. To me, the bumpy patches throughout the track were not bad. There were lines that could be taken to avoid some of the rougher ones. The only turn that kinda messes with my head is I think is turn 13 (the final turn to the front straight) because of the patch-work but I felt pretty planted throughout the rest of the course (when it was dry).

TRMN8TR Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Ya I think we lucked out with the bit of good weather that we did have. From what I heard it rained pretty much all day up here in eastlake. I liked the track too, I didn't even notice the bumps and stuff, but probably because I was concentrating too much on lines, riding position, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Seems like a good time, other then the weather at times. So for me, either a track bike or an autocross car...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Seems like a good time, other then the weather at times. So for me, either a track bike or an autocross car......I ride 10-12 trackdays a year, which nets to about 1 front and 2 rear tires. I also count on burning through a $75 set of brake pads each season.an car's tire bill is a LOT more expensive, PLUS it uses more gas, PLUS you have to store it, etc.I think the choice is obvious.

jbot Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 get two track bikes, strap them together when you want to do a car track day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
