madcat6183 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hey bud, take a look at the sticky at the top of this section. There's a complete checklist by CBRJess.There's also a thread about the Beaver weekend started so I'd recommend posting in there if you have ?s.

blue03636 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 If you can't find any, Todd rents some for like $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600juice Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Who's Todd and where can I find him? Also, to run bovine this weekend, I just sign up at the track and I can ride, right? No classes or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Todd runs motoseries. info@motoseries.comIf they aren't full you can sign up at the track, there might be a late fee or sign up online. http://www.motoseries.com/checkout/Guessing bovine is autocorrect for novice lol. Saturday there will be classes, sunday there will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Dude are you using Exarch's keyboard too? I would suggest reading the thread about track days and the threads. Also if the events are all handled differently but I would suggest reading their structure and policies on their websites as well.You don't really just show up and ride anywhere. Bike's have ot be prepped, you need leathers, etc. You don't just show up and ride.Just want to make sur eyou know what you are getting yourself into etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have a set of leathers that would fit but I'm in Dayton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No classes or anything?definitely get a hold of todd asap to make arrangements. without knowing your track experience, knowledge of beaver/PIRC, riding/racing experience, we couldn't tell you much.i'll bring my spare set of leathers just in case. it's a size 42US (52 euro). i'm not sure it'll fit you (sounds like it'll be a bit short), but if you can't find anything, it might work. todd should have something that will fit you though.good luck, and hope we see you there.

jbot Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 ok, i just saw your post in the beaver thread.since this if your first time on track, you need to sign up for novice and go through classes until somebody can see how your riding is, and if intermediate isn't too crowded, you can get bumped up if the control rider believes that you would be a good fit and have the necessary set of skills to get bumped.as for skipping classes, though i highly recommend against it (especially since this is your first time on track), you can talk to todd about it and see what he says. if you ride in novice, at least for the first session, you'll ride with a group and then there will be some re-arranging to allow similarly paced riders to ride together. it is very unlikely that you wont be able to find a group suited for your pace.post up or PM any of us if you have more questions.

redkow97 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 before we get ahead of ourselves here, does the OP have all the other necessary gear?over the ankle boots"gauntlet" glovesa full-face DOT approved helmet in excellent conditionAnd I'd suggest getting in the right frame of mind/attitude... Avoiding or skipping classroom sessions isn't the approach to take. The track is a VERY humbling experience your first time out. After 4 years of track riding, I'm finally almost as good as I thought I would be that first day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600juice Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 When I posted that I didn't mean to sound like I wanted to skip classes.. I will start in novice like everyone else. I've spoke to Todd and have everything ready to go. I post from my phone so I can't view the drop down menu to see what the exact steps are. I have everything taken care of and have a pretty decent understanding of how/what I need to do. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 i'm glad you got it worked out with todd.come hang out with us in the pits. we'll probably be taking up a large section of the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
