I may be in on this one is not the 10/3 day. Possibly Courtney too since it is a Sunday not a Friday. Oops sratch that last part, I was looking at the wrong month.
Ride! RIde! RIDE!

If at first (or second, or third) you don't succeed...

I've signed up. We all know that in no way shape or form implies that I'll be there. I'm sure hoping though...

temp highs last week in rosamond: Wednesday, 93.  Saturday and Sunday, 61.

no forecast yet but average for 10/31 is 71.  it'll for sure be bitter cold in the morning.  i bet it got to 61 for about an hour out there this weekend.

i'm just sayin', come prepared...

And when it wasn't 61 (which was the other 47 hours), it was 3 layers, winter jacket and gloves weather.

Great news Gang,

I've been trying to peruade our buddy Jake into a life of happiness on street bikes.  He and I grew up riding dirt for many years and he's finally cracked and handled the DMV shite and is ready to come with us for a track day!

Anyway, he's signed up for L3 on 10/31! 

The guy needs some help though...He'll be riding my bike, he needs some gear...so here's the scoop:

Oval head, size TBD, so an Arai L may do.  Size 13 Boot (ouch).
He's about 6' 3" and, slim with a V shaped upper body, so if any of you (GregP?) have an extra suit for him, or any ideas for suits, that'd be great...

Extra gear ideas would be awesome as I think he still has yet to determine if he's fully "in"  or not.  I'm planning on running with him for a few days up on the '33' the weekend before to cut his chops.  He learns super fast and has countless hours on a motorbike so I'm hoping he gets real amped and gets into asphalt.

Gm2, I'm thinking those extra Held gloves will fit our guy...

There's a fine line between clever and stupid.

He can borrow my quantum 2 if he wants. (L, I think)

suit would fit him for height but he'd be swimming in it. (dainese 60)

boots are probably too small, they're 11.5/12s (46 eu i think)

talked to him yesterday.. gloves are his.  he feels pretty strongly about not wearing someone else's helmet (ha), so i told him to go buy a Scorpion.  for $150 you get a completely legit helmet.  so he needs boots and a suit.

also recommended that he take the track daz novice school on the 31st.. think that's gonna happen also.

stoked!   [thumbsup]

This thread should definitely be filed in the school threads.  :-*

seriously though, I may know of a suit...stand by.
