TSB67 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Weren't you the one pushing Nelson in another thread?I really want to do Nelson, primarily because I've never done an SST day yet. I've heard (from you and many others) that they are very good w newbs. Definitely want some one on one stuff. But I looked it up last night and realized just how far it is from me. Prob gonna lose any savings on the $125 verses $195 in fuelCosts. Decisions decisions.Do both. STT has an awesome novice program. Midohio pretty much copies it.

madcat6183 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nelson = great learner because it's fast and way less technical than anywhere else. About 2 turns that might make the butt pucker, and lots of speed. I had a blast there even with some rain in the AM hours. Mid O = Great track, not as fast, but more technical, shit, maybe it is as fast, I haven't rode it in 2 years...Anyways, Track is 100 times more safe than street, and I believe way more enjoyable. Plus you get to know a ton of us at pretty much every event, and not all of us are A-holes like Dubguy. JK buddy, can't wait to spoon again, just don't tell Grapesmuggler or I will be cut off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mid O has a faster back straight but lower average speed. Nelson is definitely a simpler layout. Even in its current condition, I have friends who call Nelson their favorite track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAME O Actually this was a NESBA control rider who was lamenting the fact that they no longer ride there.He would come down and do MotoSeries, but an 8 hour drive isn't worth it for 1 trackday. I'm trying to convince him that racing is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapesmuggler27 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 fucking motoseries homos all of them!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 pure goldI would skip Mid-Ohio for your first day. It's a world class facility, but fast, expensive, and garbage in the rain. Even with good weather, it would be like losing your virginity to Megan Fox; super fun, but ultimately you wouldn't know enough to really exploit the experience for all it's worth.

madcat6183 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 However, Mid O has some of the best instructors around, STT is top notch, and alot of the Moto Series guys are really solid too, but those Motoseries guys are a ton of tools. I mean, wait, did I say that?JK dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
