Title: My name is sqweak, and I have a track day problem.
Post by: sqweak on May 15, 2008, 02:20:44 PM
I did 2 days last week at 2 different tracks, and now I'm going through withdrawals.  I have another day scheduled for 6/20 but that's so far off.  I'm eyeing memorial day and considering going, even if I have to go alone.

I think I might have a problem. [laugh]

No Shit.  My IM window pops open daily with you pushing me to get out there with you.  And yes, it is normal.  And yes, I do need to get my ass to the track.

'tis true.  My scoot will be delivered to the shop by none other than Mr. Sqweak here next weekend so it won't be ready in time.  However, if anyone has an extra track bike laying around that they'd be willing to let me thrash around on, count me in. ;)

Done two dates this month already. 
Plan on doing another one for Memorial Day. 
Miniumum of two dates a month for the rest of the year, which I have written out in detail on my calender for all of the local tracks and track schools in my area.

So... no, you don't have a problem.  Anything less will be abnormal

Enjoyed your write-up on the CSS.  Welcome to the addiction.  ;D  [thumbsup]

speaking of that, i read in some hollywood rag last month about how brad & angelina just bought some huge estate in france, near the riveria.  big deal you say.  reportedly this was a property they wanted to buy some time ago but this time brad finally got the approval he wanted to build something on the property. 

...you guessed it.  his own track.

I would _so_ live there...y'know, if it weren't in BFE Georgia and stuff.

Any one wanna go in on a paddock lot? ;D

I don't know $31K a year in association fees is pretty steep, you better be making stupid kinds of jack to live there.

the prime selling point is that the front straight can be used as a landing strip for your private jet and the lots (not houses, just the lots) start at about $675k...in rural georgia [roll]

I'd say your assessment is pretty fair ;D

Have you been to the GP/MotoForza track days?  They really run a great track day.  I just got back from one on Monday.  It was 107 degrees out there.  It took a couple of days to recover.  The next one isn't until November.  I will try to get in some supermoto track days during the summer and get the SBK out again in the fall.  Here are some pics from Monday to help with your withdrawal.
