r1crusher Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 So you're saying your done with Mr. Smooth and have openings for new students? Hhhhmmm....I'm def. up for this "free" mentoring. I know I'll be at Mid-O at least once, but mostly at Pitt or Nelsons. I'll get with you as the season gets closer to opening to work on scheduling. I've saw what you did with Smooth and his messed up shit so I know it will be easier to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah dude, you already know I will be hitting you up too, once I start picking up the pace, I don't want you to have to run slow enough that you could ride a scooter around the track to help. Having Craig and Nick help me last year was a huge help, and this year hopefully I'll get competitive, and definitely be asking everyone for help lol.

Dubguy85 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 For any of you guys wanting it, I am thinking of doing more one on one stuff if asked. Meaning, I will watch at the track in certain places around the facility and take notes of what you are doing and then obviously help on track. I'm not a coach, but am willing to help anyone as much as I can. I have a bunch of washed up experience and am willing to share it with anyone if you'd like.Plus, I am a cheap date - FREE!! I just want to spend more time working with guys that want help in a manner that is more personal and more likely to produce results. If you are humble, realize that there are going to be barriers and a willingness to try new things and make changes, I am hoping to help. Hell, I am going to learn as well! Anyways, sitting at the airport and thought that there are enough guys on here wanting to do track days and even race that if I can help, all you gotta do is ask. Wait... Isn't that a commercial for a motorcycle dealer? CRAP! I was going to take you up on that until u said humble.. LAME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just put in my vacation days etc for the dirt races, wedding, honeymoon, etc. Only leaves about 2 Friday events at Nelson I can make as I have to take 2hrs min. each to make it there in time to ride. Sucks, but pretty much every event will be drive up Friday night and run Sat, race Sun. Still looking forward to it. Craig, let's try to correspond again when you can run Fri, and I will do my best to get out of work early. Or anyone else for that matter.

SJC1000rr Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've already got the first half of race Sundays off and the Saturday's in May & June off for the trackdays. Counting down slowly to the fun. Just need to get some tires and we'll be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 do you guys typically do a full trackday saturday and then race sunday? i cant imagine riding a trackday and then racing the next day because i am always SO tired after just a trackday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue03636 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I will be there saturday in April, won't race want to let the motor break in a tad.I have always done sat and sun. Think I only did one that was friday-sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 maybe a dumb question here, but does anyone here race without warmers? it seems like a HUGE disadvantage to go out on cold tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 i have never seen anyone without warmers go out on track for racing unless they had rains mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 however, that's not to say you couldn't race novice with a performance street tires that shouldn't need warmers. with a pilot power or 2ct, you can definitely run a mid pack pace, although it might take a few laps to build temp.

ama146 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 ill be using Q2's and dont have warmers. i didnt really think of that when i planned on starting racing this season. not sure if i want to drop the money on warmers and a generator or spend it on many more trackdays and just not race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 i have never seen anyone without warmers go out on track for racing unless they had rains mounted.I know a handful of people that currently run pilot pures or Q2's and don't use warmers and have been fine during races.

natedogg624 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 don't worry too much about a genny just yet. Being from the OR group, there will be plenty of available plugs if you ask around ahead of time and chip in a few bucks for gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
