Sunday, October 28 @ Shenny and Monday, October 29th @ Main with Roger Lyle look like the last track hurrah of the season. They do have November dates, but lets be realistic.

So obviously I'm planning to hit the track. As you might expect, Shenny only due to my recurring excuse of having a slow bike. I'll  be testing out the I group, so back to being the slower guy on the slower bike. But hey, that's how we get better.

I know Frank's in... he's an addict. It's a foregone conclusion. Jim has also committed. Who else is in? With a little more lead time we might sort some of the logistics for the trailer less better this time.

Attendance (I'll update as they come)
Ian: Not attending
Frank: ?
Jim: ?
Brain (yes brain): ?
Brett: ?

Yep, I'm in. I'm almost certain Brett already committed, too.

Brett's in for both days.

Hmmm... thought i need not respond... but the ? can be changed to a yes. I would like to stay for the monday so trailering could be an issue.

hence the

It's more to help work out the days, logistics so folks can gang up for trailers etc.

I am burned out with Summit Point....Jim and I were talking of a VIR trip, and Thunderbolt trip late september and mid october with NESBA, and then Jennings trip later in the fall.  VIR and Thunderbolt will be with NESBA...They have some very fast guys in the I-groups and bumps don't come easy.  No coaches, but instead control riders who instill a strict structure.  Great riding with alot of ex racers and knowledge

Party pooper!

Though at some point I'd like to get to VIR for the SuMo sessions at the Kart track. Not going to happen this year... but perhaps the planets will align for fast bike and slow bike ways at VIR

I think your Sumo is too big for that track in terms of power/cc's down at VIR, but if you are really thinking of doing some good Sumo, you need to seriously consider goin to do the Beav' !!

Just a little inspiration from the last track day...

I think I'm looking a little less meerkatish...or is that my imagination?

That your 'Following that damn orange bike again!" face?

Least your not looking like a groundhog... unlike someone on a red monster  ;D

How come yer knee is so far off the ground?


 [evil]

I have short thighs? ;D

Lots of pressure to do the TPM gig on 20/21. You up for that? Sat/Sun on Shenny (although a faster course).

This is the 10/20-21 on thunderbolt that Brett was talking about? I'm a likely for both...

I'm talking Team Pro-Motion at Summit Point (Shenny), on October 20 & 21. D'make the beast with two backs you talking about lightning rods?

I can't believe I'm saying this... We need a meeting.

Clouding the issue!

Brett is talking about going up to Thunderbolt in New Jersey.

As noted, I'm talking about Oct 28/29 at Summit with Roger Lyle...

TPM at summit is the week before and not what I'm talking about :P

Get with it dude. Too much time off a bike has rotted your brain.

Lots of dates...trying (and failing) to keep my self out of confusion...

These are the dates I'm trying to do:
9/30-10/1 NJMP Thunderbolt with NESBA (Sun & Mon) (Brett says He & Brian are in for this)
10/20-10/21 Shenny with TPM (Sat & Sun) (I will need transport this weekend, but think Brett has room for me...)
10/28-10/29 Shenny with Roger Lyle (Sun & Mon)

I can't do Monday's right now due to work/life logistics. So I'm bailing on NJMP. I might do RL on 10/28 only. I can definitely do 10/20-21 with TPM. Let's huddle on Wednesday evening...

Are you in for both 10/20 and 10/28 weekends? It is a consideration of mine.

I'm trying to be. Won't have transport on 10/20 weekend, so will be begging for a ride.

VIR with NESBA 10-15.  It is a Monday..drive down Sunday, stay overnight and ride Monday..drive back Monday night.

Let's talk. A 2 bike uhaul trailer and we're golden. Clutch pack goes in this week!

I am only doing Sunday.... Have to be to work Monday so I can only do one day.  Come on out for Sunday

So... shall we create seperate threads or update the main post with location/date/who?

yes, I changed the title on this to reflect that is *only* the 10/28 29 Roger Lyle days

I though you were now out for these dates. Is that correct?

Never was in for the 29th. 28th is TBD. I want to get out there in Oct, but things are a little in flux right now to it might be the 21st with TPM. Nearly got my tubeless stuff done and the lighter tires... gonna be bummed if I can't put it to the test
