Do we have one?? If not, hopefully this can suffice...  it seems like enough of us ride track/are getting into it that it might be good to update a continuous thread with who is going, where, when and with which org. rather than having lots of mini-threads that get a few responses...

I am finally getting into trackdays and will be @ Big Willow 9/6 with TrackXperience and 9/18 with TrackDaz.  Anyone else going? :P

probably still won't get a lot of responses  ;)

several of us are going to streets 9/5... that's about all that's planned currently.

what're you riding?
Like this is the racing, no?

I've been wondering about that, since my leather suit is perfed.  Do you think that wearing something like Frogg Toggs as an outer layer will be enough?  I don't think I can fit any additional layers inside...

no worries. as soon as the shrinkage hits, you'll have some extra room.

...whatever that is, sure.  ;)

I've worn a hoodie or fleece over my suit at this time of year before.  once you're out there and working you sorta forget about it but standing around in the morning.. it's cold.  i always bring a hat, gloves, and big down jacket.

and of course, beware cold tires & cold track.

I've taped some of my perfs before.

I'll be in the c group on a yellow SV providing valuable passing practice. Dana, I'll see you there!
