Title: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 01, 2009, 09:44:48 AM Well, the weather is cooperating (forecast is high of 66 for both days) and I have a free weekend so I'm planning to be at ECR on both Saturday and Sunday next weekend.
Anyone interested in joining me? Guest fee is $150/day. Please let me know. You can join me for Sat or Sunday or both. Also, I have signed up Ty Howard for a private instruction day on Saturday. We have 2 people but would work ok with 1-2 more. I will post up details on cost per person. It's around $300 (including the track day fee so that's total for the day) if we get 1-2 more. I'm planning on bringing the SV and the Duc and I'm looking forward to a great weekend of riding. Might even have to bring extra kneepucks! Let me know if you're interested in either!

I have my kids that weekend, but have been craving a track day since I bought the R6. I really would love to join you on a Sunday that's a member day. Just not this one, or Valentines weekend :-\ After that, I will make room in my schedule! Clue me in if you have any coming up in late Feb or early March [thumbsup] Really want a trackday to kinda run my own pace and learn my new bike.
Thanks Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 01, 2009, 01:11:03 PM There'll be others! I will also be doing a Lone Star Track Day event on Friday, 3/13 at ECR. Keeping an eye out for any Ducati track days, but I haven't any seen any published on the AMS website.
Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: DLSGAP on February 02, 2009, 01:32:52 PM I envy your track budget... I SOOOOOO Wish i could go this Saturday. Maybe I'll stop by to say hi and be jealous of your track time
Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 04, 2009, 03:54:47 PM Ok. Forecast for Saturday is high of 69 (low of 52) so it should be a good day since it will be sunny. Sunday will be high of 70 with 30% of a few showers. I am planning to be there both days, probably showing up around 10-11am on Saturday and a little earlier on Sunday (9-10am).
Offer still stands to those who want to come as guests. I don't expect more than 10-12 bikes (on a 2.5 mile track so we'll have plenty of room)... Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: DLSGAP on February 05, 2009, 08:27:44 AM i'd blow the cash for the day on saturday if i thought i could get out of my baby daddy duties for the day... I'll still stop by and say hi though

Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: bryant8 on February 05, 2009, 11:00:40 AM Carlo, I'll have to take you up on one of these weekends once I get a calmer schedule and a track scoot to play on [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: DLSGAP on February 05, 2009, 12:24:45 PM Anyone can come? Yeah they let anyone come on out to watch... but if you wanna ride the track its 150 bucks and you have to kiss Carlo's ass for a month since he's the track member Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: El Matador on February 05, 2009, 01:05:17 PM Yeah they let anyone come on out to watch... but if you wanna ride the track its 150 bucks and you have to kiss Carlo's ass for a month since he's the track member I'd figured it was something like that. I'm actually pretty interested. I just bought a new suit and I'm itching to take it to the track. Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: DLSGAP on February 05, 2009, 01:28:04 PM wear it a while first... many say that a new suit at the track is bad luck

I bought it used off a member here Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 05, 2009, 08:54:46 PM Anyone can come? Must have previous track experience - forgot to mention that. This is completely unstructured and is a member day. Bike must be in good shape but is self-tech. If interested, let me know and you can come as my guest. Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 05, 2009, 08:56:45 PM well, it's new to me. I bought it used off a member here It took over a dozen track days before my new suit had any sort of unplanned track contact...you'll be fine but if it's your first time, I suggest you do a school first where they have instruction and have more structure/guidance.

New suit. I've been to several a trackday already. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 05, 2009, 09:01:09 PM New suit. I've been to several a trackday already. [thumbsup] Great! Then come join me on either day. Picked up a little flu-type bug this afternoon but I hope to be over it by Saturday afternoon. I'm planning on being there later on Saturday (if you want to go earlier I'll just let them know and I have several friends also going early and you can join up with them) and Sunday if all goes to plan. 4 of us are taking lessons w/ Ty on Saturday.

Wait, is it this sat or next? Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: cm on February 06, 2009, 04:44:54 AM tomorrow and the day after...
might also go next weekend. Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: DLSGAP on February 06, 2009, 07:27:21 AM Hmmm next weekend too you say... I may have to get in on that one :)
Title: Re: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons Post by: El Matador on February 06, 2009, 07:41:56 AM tomorrow and the day after... might also go next weekend. I'd be able to go next weekend. If I skimp out on Desmolu's birthday to go play at the track there is going to be hell to pay.
