SJC1000rr Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Cold and rainy, never a good day when that is forecast. Just be careful if you go, mid ohio isn't normal asphalt in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 ^ what he said... spectators are free and get a good roam of the entire track just as you would during the AMA races. mid o not good in cool damp conditions just be extra careful when first starting out to get a good feel of the track, mid o is normally green (slick) in the AM sessions anyways and they will go over all of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Keeping in mind both that this is Ohio, and the seemingly limited accuracy of the weather forecasters--I'll be watching the forecast, ever hopefully, until 5am Monday with my fingers crossed...

bchristy07 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'll be out there rain or shine.. need to get the novice day over with so I can do Int. next season. The forecast is changing each day so i'm keeping the fingers crossed, If I can get one dry session ill be happy haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast is changing each day so i'm keeping the fingers crossed, If I can get one dry session ill be happy hahaIf it's raining you may really want to reconsider.... If this is your first N day, I wouldn't even consider, I would wait until next season. If you've never been to Mid O, even dew is dangerous. First 2 sessions of the day are always laid back before the track dries, and that is anytime of the year.In the rain, I wouldn't even consider making a trip 5 minutes to the track.

TwiztedRabbit Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 im with this guy^ john and i are on the same page.. plus after 1 day in the wet at mid o.. you wouldnt be ready for I the next year anyways.. or am i the only one that thinks this?

tyler524 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 im with this guy^ john and i are on the same page.. plus after 1 day in the wet at mid o.. you wouldnt be ready for I the next year anyways.. or am i the only one that thinks this?I think I did novice 3 or 4 times but I am probably in the minority. I wanted to male sire that when I did bump up, I would be confident and run a good consistent line. The bum from novice to open is pretty big. You have guys passing you and you passing others and I feel that you need more than one novice day to bump up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) i did 3 novice days.. at 2 tracks.. then bumped to Int. i have done shit i cant even count how many I days (over 20+) and am only now getting to the point of bumping to A at putnam.. Int. is a meat grinder there are to many that should still be in Novice but have big ball syndrome and think that their ego needs stroked into Int.. and of course their are guys that should be in A that just love beating up the I guys... so take the jump with caution.. a good street rider doesnt make a good track rider.. its the other way around.EDIT- just being fast doesnt mean your ready for I or A or whatever class.. consistancy is key.. smoothness is key and not being a danger to yourself or more important to anyone else.. control riders will help you take the critique as it comes learn and then bump when they tell you your ready Edited September 24, 2011 by TwiztedRabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 jsut get out there and have fun.. but be careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0rtal1ty Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 If I schedule a track day and it ends up being rainy.. I'd still go; its a good excercise in throttle and brake control and being smooth regardless of which class you run. And as STT-Guy Monte used to say.. it builds chest hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrbrent Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Will MO let you ride in the rain? MO is a great track once it warms up. Sometimes it takes till lunch to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 oh yes they will.. no rain out days unless its completely impassable.. EG: tsunami leaves half the track submerged in 3 foot of water haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
