Ducati Revs Summit Point - June 5

[Slide Panda]

MAD is teaming up with Cornerspeed for a track day, June 5 at Summit.

DucPond (Ducati Winchester) will be out as the dealer rep - and I'd expect might have some demo bikes with.

I'll be out there. Anyone else?

Do they require safety wiring for that day?

[bdub]

From how I understand things the oil filter
and plug need to be as well as the oil cap.
I don't have a water cooled motor but I think
if you do you need to put something inthats
track approved. Also there is something about
the side stand which I'm not clear on.

I just got info off cornerspeed's website.
So not sure if this event requires it. But
wouldn't hurt.

From their website:

Bike Requirements for Students & Beginner Group
Bikes must have oil filter safety wired. (See Safety Wire Basics for help)
Bikes must have oil fill cap and oil drain plug EITHER safety wired or secured with Hi-Temp Silicone.
Liquid cooled bikes must run water only or racing approved coolant only, no anti-freeze. The racing approved coolant must be approved by WERA or CCS. Motul's product MoCool is approved by both CCS and WERA.
Remove mirrors, tape over all glass and lights AND tape over the speedometer. You do not need the speedometer on the racetrack. It is an unsafe distraction.
Tires must be Sport or Race compound with good tread depth. New tires are recommended.
Please remove all previous Tech stickers from any/all organizations BEFORE coming through Tech. If you have stickers that are not removed, you will not pass Tech and you will be asked to remove them before coming back through Tech.
Students are now permitted to use their sidestands. They are not required to zip-tie their sidestands in the up position. PLEASE NOTE: Side stand engine kill switch must be operational and will be inspected at Tech. If the sidestand engine kill switch fails, you will be required to zip-tie the kickstand in the up position.

I read that. Often times the Ducati days have less stringent requirements.

To safety wire your drain plug, you'll have to remove it, and drill. Then you can use a hose clamp and safety wire the plug and filter together.

The fill plug is easy. Drill and wire it to the oil pressure sensor.

I'd check with Cornerspeed and see what they say about it first.

Forgot that  I'd even posted this!

Well - anyone else go?

I was there, though left after lunch due the to the rain

[bdub]

I was there. Left about 5 ish
Very interesting day. Amazing
how slow I am and how fast
everyone else seemed to be.
Got a lot of information tho.
Good day !!!

Too bad I'd forgotten about my own thread and didn't manage a link up.

Do you go out to Summit with any frequency? Or was this more of a one off for you?

CornerSpeed runs a good day. Which group were you in? FWIW their average pace per group trends higher than some other TD orgs

[bdub]

More of a one off for me. I think. The price and proximity
allowed me to do this and not concern myself
with drinks/food etc. it was major fun and I really enjoyed
meeting people. I was in the beginners group.
Lots of stuff to learn, also hard to practice as a
majority street rider as I know my slow speed
maneuvering skills are also lacking.

I pointed one of our fellow riders toward the
CAM section here. I hope she looks it up.

Well - if you decide to come out to summit again, shoot me a PM. It's the closest track to me, so as you might expect its where I do the bulk of the TDs I manage to squeeze in.

[ducpainter]

bdub...how did you make out with the safety wiring?

[bdub]

Got Duc pond to do it.
They did a nice job -
It may have been overkill
for  the day, but it made me
feel better.
