r1crusher Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 There was at least 4 wrecks in that turn that day.Well, apparently the other 96 plus overbooked people didn't find much problem with it. 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.I'm going to blame Teá for the slow pace. And yes, I was only doing 35 and that's why she got mad at me for taking off during the leap frog session. Ouch, that is going to definitely going to get a response Duh.I'd do the race school and run a few Sundays just to be a back marker and hold you guys up....well Craig and Jinu anyway. It shouldn't be hard to stay in front of you buttercup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 if you all want to really impress upon Todd that you're serious about wanting other tracks, don't just say, "i'll register if you race at ________ track."send him pre-registered fees now. Post-date a check, and write "mid-ohio entry fees" on the memo line.That's a commitment, and everything I know about Todd makes me trust that he wouldn't cash the check if the event fell through - but it would be a REAL commitment, instead of just words.

jbot Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 todd had 600 or 700 in cash from me (and others) since Jan of 2011 (at bike show). the commitment is there, but there were/are greater issues that needed resolving than a deposit.

I have paypal and bank with Chase, I can send funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I don't know that I can go to every single track day, but I'd be happy to help out Todd in any way possible. Work the show, pre-pay for 4 events or so, whatever it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 pre-pay for 4 events or so, whatever it takes.4, they only do 2 at beaver. Does this mean a nelsons trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Nick, remind me about the $$ come that time of the year. I remember you telling me last season but I wasn't set on what I was doing. Obviously, this time around I am ready to toss some $$ Todd's way to help get things rolling or whatever.Thanks bud.

Obviously, this time around I am ready to toss some $$ Todd's way to help get things rolling or whatever.Thanks bud.Just come to the Cleveland IMS show with us. You can pre-pay for events and pay for your license for next season. Usually a pretty good time, and get to see some people from OR, check out new bikes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Paul has convinced you into some other color than green since you obviously bleed Yamahahhahhaaa blue.That means I have to hang with Craig, Jinu, and you.... I dunno about that I get the same feeling at the track. Just keep you back to a wall and you'll be fine. If Craig has his "Smooth" going there might actually be some girls at the booth.On this topic though, I read this post by Todd on his forum:Dated 10/8/2011"I have always been looking to add more tracks into our race schedule, but...We can only get dates at other tracks that are not weather friendly such as March and late October.Those are pretty much guaranteed to be cold and rainy if not worse, snow and ice.I have been asking for years at nearby tracks to give us a date but until a date opens that another group (car or motorcycle) decides to cancel or no longer use that date will it be available to even ask for.We have been stuck in this holding pattern now for the past four years waiting for someone to cancel and us to be next in line.I have been telling guys to call and email tracks to express our interest in coming so that perhaps they will give us more consideration when it comes to scheduling."So it might be worth while for us all to start a campaign to petition some tracks that could be added to the MS schedule for next year.

r1crusher Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Maybe Todd could send an email to all the registered users on MS and put in a link to the thread and/or petition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 OK, not to critique, but there needs to be a plan in place. A set of tracks that will be targeted and a process by which someone, somebody or some group will proceed.Getting signatures isn't going to hold water if it isn't a targeted idea.My proposal would be to target Grattan, Putnam and Mid-Ohio. I would get people to sign and list where they are from, race status, current racing organization, etc.I think that Moto Series has a GREAT opportunity to succeed in the wake of WERA's lacking grids in the region. I think that you need to give a description of the way MS does the events, what they offer and some quotes or recommendation letters from some of it's well known racers that run multiple series and may even be WERA licensed racers.The fact is that this has to be a benefit to the TRACKS. Not to anything else. Otherwise, it is like asking how many people would be in for a private track day, needing a set number of customers and when the internet polls come up, it appears to be easy to pull off, but when time comes to shell out money, drive, participate, etc., people drop like flies. The tracks are going to look at a signed petition and maybe feel that MS is worth a look, but in the end, unless there is money attached to that list, it doesn't weigh much.I am talking to a few people and will call Todd soon. I am trying to get some folks to call back and see if we can possibly get into some places, but there are going to be hurdles. Anyways, not trying to be Debbie Downer. I just think there needs to be a few more steps and maybe you'd get more signatures. I also think the process needs to include a description to what will be done in pursuing this with tracks.

blue03636 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I would have went with negative Nancy.Ok really though, we do need a good plan of attack for this to happen. I know we have a few big hitters on board and we need to utilize them as most of us don't have that much pull. I know Brian and jig both have some ins with a few of the tracks and I'm sure there are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
