madcat6183 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I read that thread earlier, I dont see them confirming anything, just people wanting to go.... It says that June 9-10 is confirmed at Blackhawk, but that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 yeah, nothing confirmed. I read the entire thread, and it seems like Mongo is going back and forth between talking about Blackhawk, and what he'd LIKE to see at Mid-Ohio.And I'm with Brian regarding the sealer. I wasn't on it this past summer, but I saw no appreciable difference between last summer, and three years ago.my buddy Mike and I watched from behind the garages on a rainy saturday morning at Mid-Ohio in 2010.There was 1 rider out in "I"lap 1, he spins up the rear on the front straight under gentle throttle in 3rd gear.lap 2, he spins up the rear on the front straight under gentle throttle in 4th (we heard him short-shift)a minute later, we hear the starter's radio, "rider down in T7." And he nearly crashed those first two laps.This was a competent rider who was exhibiting more than ordinary caution, and had displayed the ability to 'save' (or at least not panic) the bike when the back end stepped way out.Mike and I were drinking beer by 11:00. We never even went through tech that day. The track was "cold" after lunch, due to water running across the track between 7 & 8. Had a great time on Sunday though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I really doubt WERA will be there unless they can piggy back onto an existing event. I really think a series needs to hit that track 2-3 times a season. The organization that clinches it, will reap the rewards...Moto Series anyone?

Maybe he needs you to push him into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 they would make a KILLING.hell, Moto Series & WERA could get together and have 2-4 rounds there pretty easily, either shared, or 2 and 2, and then use each others events as rain dates.

APCh8r Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah that thread on WERA is clearly speculation...I wouldn't expect WERA there again unless it was with them running the RRGC again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 info@motoseries.comMaybe you can help with the issue of getting an event at Grattan also...I think baby steps. Grattan is a haul for most people that would be racing MS...I'd say work on Mid-O and add to the two already in existence and work in Grattan later if needed...4 at Nelson, 2 at Beaver and 2 at Mid-O would be stellar...

If you could get a weekend event at Mid Ohio though that would be great. Either way I am all for adding more tracks if possible...except maybe Gingerman....

Either way I am all for adding more tracks if possible...except maybe Gingerman....You do realize that it is actually further for them to travel than it is for me, right? About 5 hours from the Cleveland area...I'm 4-1/2 and know a lot of the guys are from east of Cleveland which is adding more miles and time. They tried it before with little success.That being said, I again think WERA is losing people. So, there are a bunch of possible customers that could be had. With WERA now adding Black Hawk Farms and truly making it damn near impossible for NC racers to attend w/o a deeper budget needed, MS getting a Grattan event or two would be great.But, I think focusing on one new track is what should be done and if I were to suggest a second, it would be Putnam over Grattan...

blue03636 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 If any of these would be added I will ruin my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I actually like Gingerman for some odd reason. People were complaining about the seams the entire day we were there and I never had any problem with them. Just like the dip in the last right hand turn. I think Hoblick or someone else was the only person I heard of taking an off track excursion.But I would love to see MS out at Mid-O. Then Craig doesn't have any excuses to not go there.

tyler524 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would be up for Grattan since it is probably just as close if not closer for me than Nelson and closer than Beaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg624 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Never road it before the extension but I like it. The extension isn't hard at all though, just your basic double apex hairpin turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off you didn't have problems with gman since you were doing 35 all day. I plan on going next year to mido, it's been what 3 years now.
