Author Topic: Track days at ECR 2/7 or 2/8 or BOTH; Ty Howard lessons  (Read 2512 times)

Well, the weather is cooperating (forecast is high of 66 for both days) and I have a free weekend so I'm planning to be at ECR on both Saturday and Sunday next weekend.

Anyone interested in joining me?  Guest fee is $150/day.  Please let me know. You can join me for Sat or Sunday or both. 

Also, I have signed up Ty Howard for a private instruction day on Saturday.  We have 2 people but would work ok with 1-2 more.  I will post up details on cost per person.  It's around $300 (including the track day fee so that's total for the day) if we get 1-2 more.

I'm planning on bringing the SV and the Duc and I'm looking forward to a great weekend of riding. Might even have to bring extra kneepucks!

Let me know if you're interested in either!

Damn Carlo, I am so jealous! I have my kids that weekend, but have been craving a track day since I bought the R6.  I really would love to join you on a Sunday that's a member day.  Just not this one, or Valentines weekend Undecided After that, I will make room in my schedule!  Clue me in if you have any coming up in late Feb or early March waytogo Really want a trackday to kinda run my own pace and learn my new bike. 

Thanks

There'll be others!  I will also be doing a Lone Star Track Day event on Friday, 3/13 at ECR.  Keeping an eye out for any Ducati track days, but I haven't any seen any published on the AMS website.

Ok. Forecast for Saturday is high of 69 (low of 52) so it should be a good day since it will be sunny.  Sunday will be high of 70 with 30% of a few showers.  I am planning to be there both days, probably showing up around 10-11am on Saturday and a little earlier on Sunday (9-10am).

Offer still stands to those who want to come as guests.  I don't expect more than 10-12 bikes (on a 2.5 mile track so we'll have plenty of room)...

Yeah they let anyone come on out to watch... but if you wanna ride the track its 150 bucks and you have to kiss Carlo's ass for a month since he's the track member

I'd figured it was something like that. I'm actually pretty interested. I just bought a new suit and I'm itching to take it to the track.

Must have previous track experience - forgot to mention that.  This is completely unstructured and is a member day.  Bike must be in good shape but is self-tech.  If interested, let me know and you can come as my guest.

It took over a dozen track days before my new suit had any sort of unplanned track contact...you'll be fine but if it's your first time, I suggest you do a school first where they have instruction and have more structure/guidance.
