Email rec'd today: "We are coming up on our next event next weekend Sat/Sun September 5/6th at Streets of Willow! Weather so far is only calling for mid to high 80's so should be some good riding weather for sure! Sunday's B group only has 1 spot left but we still have room in other groups for both days! Hope to see you there! Best Regards, Take it 2 The Track Customer Service" You in?

Anyone have a decent set of take offs they want to get rid of? I'd love to spare my street tires if possible. Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: gm2 on August 27, 2009, 08:28:34 AM call west coast gp.. they often have some decent take-offs sitting around

Any chance you guys have an extra outlet on the generator for a set of tire warmers? I'll bring an extension chord and power strip. I borrowed a 2 stroke generator but that thing is crazy loud and if I don't have to lug it along, I won't. See ya'll in the AM.

Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: lawbreaker on September 04, 2009, 07:44:46 PM I have a set of Michelin Power race take offs- previous owner of my 998 tossed 'em in and they look o.k to me...
You're welcome to 'em (located in Whittier) [thumbsup] Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: Speeddog on September 04, 2009, 08:02:00 PM Have fun guys!
Come back with good pictures and tales of riding awesomely. [thumbsup] Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: GregP on September 05, 2009, 05:21:20 PM Good seeing you guys!
Good luck on both of your new adventures! [clap] Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: joekarati on September 06, 2009, 03:25:21 PM Great to see you two, too. GregP, glad you could make it for a few wings and a soda after!
jc Quick track report from the mind of jc: Weather=great, totally tolerable and awesome, love the drive out and back, beauty. Tires=too new to me, new size, new profile, new stickiness, at least they'll last. Personal Riding=awful, moto riding >101. No mojo. What CSS classes did I take? Worst Part of Day=watching G go down. Best Part of the Day=watching G get up, give the wave, like nothing had happened. Bike OK. Best Part of the Day 2=getting smoked by GregP on the SV. He rolled 'A' group at the end of the day and was rocking. Fun Factor= [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [moto] [moto] [moto] [beer] [beer] [beer] Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: gm2 on September 08, 2009, 07:21:14 AM much fun on all accounts!
think i need a sleep doctor or something for the night before track days... got hot and windy in the afternoon (at willow? what?!) but was a totally tolerable day. went faster in several places, mostly thanks to ben spies. woops, got up close and personal with the alligator strips in the skidpad. that fukin' place. i've lost the front there before and managed to save it... this time was front, then back. i guess my preferred lean angle and that ghetto surface don't get along. JC: i remembered later that i had also just filled up my tank.... ah well, this is precisely why i have a japanese bike =). replace 1 $15 clip-on tube and all's well. caliphoto got some really good pics. and if i can ever find my stupid card reader i think i got some great video of joey. thanks guys! :D Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: madmatt on September 08, 2009, 01:16:47 PM sorry to hear about the crashie-poo G-Man.

Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: orangelion03 on September 10, 2009, 02:30:40 PM Just curious...when you run bikes at Streets, do you loop into the skid pad, or take the short chute and bypass the pad into the straight?
Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: derby on September 10, 2009, 02:36:21 PM Just curious...when you run bikes at Streets, do you loop into the skid pad, or take the short chute and bypass the pad into the straight? depends on who you're running with. Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: joekarati on September 11, 2009, 08:12:55 AM ...but for all track days/ clubs we've been, it's loop onto the scare-pad.
CSS, the school, runs the tight chute. Title: Re: We're off to the Track_9.5.09 Streets Post by: gm2 on September 11, 2009, 09:55:02 AM i've never seen a track day org use 12-13-14, only CSS. afaik all track days = alligator pad.
