Anyone interested in organizing another CAM/BAD track day? I'm planning to do the TPM track day at Shenny on June 8 or 9.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Looks to me like someone just volunteered himself. |

I'll pencil myself in for that weekend, though won't be able to confirm until I get a better sense of where the winds are blowing at the time.
And I'll probably go B initially and see where I stand. Finished out last season running a decent I pace. But I expect this will be my frist time back to the track and with very limited miles under my belt for this year. So no need to rush it.

I could be in as well... The 749 should be back home from the pond by then.

I haven't been to a TPM day and they were highly recommended by a friend. If you know otherwise, let us know. What's taking so long with your 749? |

Poor planning. Taking it to any shop just as the weather turns nice for real. But the root cause is he's weeping oil from the clutch output shaft seal. Why TPM again???
Aside from the blue shirt conga lines in the B groups (not a concern in I) TPMN was fine by me. What's the fuss Frank? |

Are beginners required to ride behind a control rider at TPM? Cos that would suck. Or is it just the no passing rule and the large number of riders that causes bunch ups? |

They are not. Only folks in the first level of their class/first time to the track folks are not allowed to pass the CRs for the first two sessions of the day. They go out in pods for 5-6 bikes total - one real hassle and a scare for me was when I caught 1 pod who had caught the other pod. I was working through the big conga line when then checkers came out on the straight. A number of them forgot the specific instruction that checkers means carry on - and do NOT come off line and chop the gas. So a bunch came off line and chopped the throttle as I'm in the middle of their pack at +30 mph.
TPM allows passing in B group. Outside only, BUT there is no inside/outside after the apex

LOL.... lets see... really, the massive $20k effort for refinancing my house was the primary factor of the timing. Weeping oil is bad and I currently trust Duc Pond. |
