Title: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 11, 2008, 07:27:25 PM Hey guys, has anyone heard about this?
http://www.forumshawaii.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=400251 Seems like there was chatter about a possible track opening up Ewa way... Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 11, 2008, 07:40:36 PM read an article in the paper a few weeks ago... seems the parties involved w/the lease and ctrl over the site are at odds. and that thd hasn't seen a post since 4/10... besides, having a 1/8 mi. strip would not bring any support from the drag racers.
I wouldn't hold my breathe, nor have I since they closed HRP. Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 11, 2008, 10:02:21 PM Not really holding it, but just kind of hoping...
Bye the way, got me some Rogue Mocha Porter a few minutes ago. Isn't it odd how all of our threads seem to digress to alcohol? ;) Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 11, 2008, 10:17:21 PM the choco stout is better...
and since I'm not a mod anymore, I can't help keep you drunkards in line [cheeky] Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 11, 2008, 10:35:40 PM WOO HOO!! Drunkards running amuck!! [drink] [drink] [drink]
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: MadDuck on May 12, 2008, 10:53:49 PM Track talk? It could take forever, if ever, to get one going out here. We either have to make that Haleakala run or........... get this ........... a bunch of us go to a riding school together on the mainland. Eddie Spencer or Jamie James. How's that?
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 12, 2008, 11:50:41 PM a bunch of us go to a riding school together on the mainland. Eddie Spencer or Jamie James. How's that? SWEET!!!!! Do you have to ship your bike out to these? That would get pricey! Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: MadDuck on May 12, 2008, 11:56:12 PM SWEET!!!!! Do you have to shit your bike out to these? That would get pricey! Hey man, if you had to shit your bike there it would not only be pricey but pretty damned painful too. [laugh] Nope. They are still pricey though if you're renting most of the stuff. $2,500.00 or so. Some schools like Penguin are far less expensive (you can ride Ducati ss900's there) but it's way up in New Hampshire. At Spencer's school you ride new 600rr's. Someone told me Jamie James runs R6's. Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 12:12:04 AM Hey man, if you had to shit your bike there it would not only be pricey but pretty damned painful too. [laugh] Thanks for that. ASS ;) I think Spencer's sounds better to me. If I am going to cheat on either of my bikes then it should at least be with a bike made from the same company as my car. ;) Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: eltristo on May 13, 2008, 10:51:37 AM Oof. Speaking from a purely "My wife has a chain attached to my nuts" point of view, how much cheaper is the New Hampshire school?
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: MadDuck on May 13, 2008, 07:26:58 PM Way cheaper. I think $700.00 or thereabouts would cover the 2 day school, the SS900, and insurance. It runs at Louden International Raceway. Might be the best deal overall but you just have to travel the extra distance. Plus you have to reserve the bikes way in advance.
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 13, 2008, 07:28:07 PM hmmm... I could do this track school thing...
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 07:29:27 PM Ok then, whats say we book a trip to the New Hampshire school this coming December? ;)
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 13, 2008, 07:30:21 PM can. [laugh]
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 07:31:23 PM lol Ever been to NH in December?
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 13, 2008, 07:34:46 PM I know that I don't need to.
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 07:42:05 PM Yep. It's crazy cold up there that time of year!
But hey, you might see Santa. Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 13, 2008, 07:47:05 PM cool beans! then I can punch him in the face for not getting that nintendo ;D
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 08:10:10 PM That's the spirit! ;)
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: eltristo on May 13, 2008, 08:12:30 PM Next year then? Heck, I'll be in the neighborhood come july. I'm sure the wife would love to spend 2 days of our vacation watching me try to crash a rent-a-duck! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 08:14:54 PM SWEET! ;)
So Tristo, are you scheduled to rotate anytime soon? Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: eltristo on May 13, 2008, 08:16:25 PM July of the 2008. But I rotate to here, so, not really.
Title: Re: Track talk? Post by: DRKWNG on May 13, 2008, 11:44:07 PM July of the 2008. But I rotate to here, so, not really. You had better start packing now then. |
