donkason Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 It was a packed house today and lots of fun. It was slick as ice early with brand new Michelin sneakers on the 750 with a cold track. Shout out to Longdoracing for giving me a tow and helping me learn how to pass safely. I always learn a ton from coaches that love what they do. It was still an ego shot watching him turn around to keep an eye on me while I was going flat out. Then I got to work on some passing drills with my buddy Mike. Very few riders went down and that makes my day. Good luck tomorrow for those riding. It looks like rain tapers off in the afternoon. It was a blast seeing everybody and a shout out to all the coaches that help get us there.Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Glad to hear it was a good day. Wish I could have made it up for today since tomorrow is a wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ01 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 It was very slick in the morning even going slow in novice. Better in the afternoon just way to much traffic. Had a lot of fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Gave the first session the finger after sliding around the first 4 laps...went back to pit to drink more coffee. Grip got much better after that.Rolled through hot-pit more times today than I think I ever have. Got in one cluster this afternoon that ended up 7 or 8 riders going 3-lines-wide through Turn One (felt like rush hour traffic for a few seconds). Very few crashes, though, and a good day all-in-all.

I'll pull some clips if anyone wants, let me know your bike/colors and group.I was the metallic gray Gixxer with black Astar leathers and a flat black helmet. If you were snapping pics in pit lane I was the guy who threw up the sign of the beast at ya. Coyote were you running in I today? I was passing 3 wide in a corner a few times and the back straight looked like 270 during rush hour a few times. It got me to experience a whole new set of lines.

LongDogRacing Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 i talked to Mike. he said there were only 4 folks signed up for intermediate and ZERO signed up in advanced.they didn't get any riding in for the morning sessions, so the Mid-Ohio staff did a detailed track walk with them. he told me it was well worth the money.in the afternoon, they did 40-minute sessions because there were no advanced riders. it was dry and overcast, he said, but still good riding.

Habi Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well that would have been more seat time and a nice track walk. If the rain from the west wouldn't have come in it wouldn't have been so bad. Looked like most of the southern front missed the track.

By the time I got out to the far end of the track (thunder valley?) the intermediate session was wrapping up. Thanks for chatting with me though you guys, I definitely have a track day in my future. http://imgur.com/a/gYwse#0It was a bit overcast, so the pictures aren't as crisp as they should be, also my first time at Mid-Ohio and a bit rusty with tracking shots. I had a great time watching the riders and chatting to a few, and the engine noises more than make up for the crappy shots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu0vSQ3lssQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgossel Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Had a blast fellas...Monday was amazing weather with great riding. I was nervous for Tuesday, but it turned out to be great day. The track walk was awesome, it puts the track into a whole new perspective. It looks totally different when you are not riding your bike on it. Needless to say, I was exhausted and my legs are killing me.Shout out to Donkason (Mike), had a blast working on passing and trying to catch ya. Oh, your avatar is driving me crazy. My head keeps twisting back and forth next to you. Thanks to Justin (longdogracing) for getting me hooked to the track and put up with me for the whole Summer. Learned a lot from you and appreciate you taking the time to help me out.Can't wait till next year fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgossel Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Dizzledan, do you have any pictures of me with the black and yellow helmet with the sun on one side and the moon on the other? R6 with white/black/yellow and pitpull stickers on each side. #007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were certainly a lot of bikes out there, I think close to 100 counting the instructor/control riders. Even with 30 bikes out at a time, there seem to be some good open gaps on the 2.4 mile track that were not being used.

wantahertzdonut Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 http://imgur.com/a/8r0qp/layout/horizontal#0M Thanks for shooting those, they came out great. Between you, Kyle, and my girlfriend taking photos, I'll have tons to look at.The video is outstanding too. Great angles and sound. Watching that reminds me a bit of the second race in Grand Prix.
