May have to pay for this one if I get my bike ready in time.  Huh? tires, suspension setup, etc...  Undecided All the newbie stuff I have to worry about.

$150. pretty cheap... Can you save your cornerworking chit for a "private" day?

Will you be riding "Novice"? If so, don't sweat the tires, suspension setup, etc...

+1 on the price (cheapo fun)

I'm thinking the same. Save the 'credit' private day with AMS and pay for this one. Good plan I think. Novie to start the day with, intermediate by days end.

Sorry to say it's going to be at the expense of THC !!  Huh?  Tongue  Embarrassed So, there it is, i'm out of the HC weekend in favor of better riding skills. " I need skills" - Napolean Dynamite

Speaking selfishly though if I may, I secretly want to tail Sir L' Blur, T&B, Bryant848, McKraut, CJ, Kev and the rest around the track and actually be good doing it. Jeff assured me that he can teach me that. !! WooHoo!!  waytogo

99 44/100% in.  How else can learn to ride curves sans whiteknuckle.  I progressed so much from ground zero Sat. that I had better go (hopefully not such a crowded track). [moto] waytogo

Weather is really the only thing that would keep me at home. I do not get on the track when it is wet or too cold. Call me a wimp, but it really isn't fun without grip. The dust out there is bad enough  bang head

I have an invention that is going to sell (I hope) that is related to this comment that I'm developing that might interest you.

And next, I suppose you're going to tell me that that Yellow triple 9 with the excellent rider in position in the corner at the apex is someone you know??? HA...yeah right. Well good try but I know someone who has a yellow...., eh, triple ...9......er,   uh.... Embarrassed I'm gonna go now.

Great pic Lisa!
I'm doubtful for Nov. 24th track day but I'm going to encourage Jim to catch this one - if so I'll cornerwork and take pics  Wink

I don't think I can make this one, I think RichD already has a vac. day. We are short on help right now. I'm thinking about cutting a hole in the fence, and gettin in a little night track time.  [moto]
