We've talked about doing one at Bwillow, but have never got it together.

+2 on Miller.


I've always wanted to do a trackday.

I would be down for Streets of Willow.  Big Willow is just ok on my Monster....

BARBER

DMF Trackday Southeast.

I'm down for Barber, and could probably accomodate a couple people who need to spend the night.

I've been trying to figure out how to get a group together to go down there for awhile. I think it would make an incredible "Ducati Owners of America" national rally location, with the track AND the museum, plus scenic roads in the area

how's the Italian bike trackday going?

[junior varsity]

it petered out. Had some interest, but not enough to make it affordable for all those that were interested. I think it needs to be combined with a rally for cost-effectiveness.

Have a band, show/awards for various classes, t-shirts, professional photographer for your bike, perhaps a dyno pull, etc, and cost of admittance all to help subsidize the trackday. Putting it all together as a Ducati "extravaganza" would be really cool. But would require some serious backing from DNA.

So that's the plan. I'm going to routinely bother them with my ideas until they jump on it.

[RetroSBK]

Good luck on that...

Ok, heres an idea...  We all know the biggest problem is the cost. And figuring that a Trackday at Buttonwillow is fairly cheap at around $6k total, it would be a good start. That being said, if a trackday it too expensive, how about a session at another persons day? I can pretty easily put together a exclusive session for Ducati riders... Everyone in the same group, all on the track together...  Good start no?

Yikes, there be some folks with experience who will want to get the "most for their money" on the track at the same time as a track-virgin (if we do one group on the track all at the same time). Just feel like those who are experienced will feel like its a parade-lap, while the novice group might be overwhelmed, and the intermediate class being pretty well satisfied.

For reference, Barber is over 15k for a weekday.
