Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
Start off with 2 individual days, maybe 4. Like I said, not looking to sell my my first born. Nhms requires 50% down for new track day orgs, so I would need some people to commit in order to make this work. If this year is successful, I could add a few more next year. If membership sales or pre-orders were good, I have the option of adding more nh dates this season, even.
Doing events at nj or ny is much easier, so adding in a few of those dates isn't an issue. Not looking to get rich doing this, so my plan is to try and offer some good packages (insert joke here) to riders. I see being focused on racers (hence the no passing rules in advanced and racer discount package) and also offering tons of instructing for new riders.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I'm basically modeling my org after BostonMoto. I think Degsy and Scottie did a really good job of providing a fast practice for racers and at the same have a very structured introduction for new riders.
I would even run 4 groups if the sign ups warranted it with a faster advanced group. Believe me, I have a ton of ideas and I think the need is there in nh. Just wanted to feel it out before I actually take the plunge.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
Look guys, trust me, I have a good business plan in place. I have most of the elements to do this in place already. I've already gotten pricing and dates lined up with the track. I have a staff already.
I just wanted to test the waters before committing time and money to something that is or isn't needed. :wink:

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
Figure i could allocate a few vacation days for this :D especially if it irks Jim
-
Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
Wow between Jim and ginja I might have to attend. Hopefully pick up a few things :D
Sam I think if you have a plan in place then go for it. Youre certainly going to have to reach out further then these boards. I hope it goes well.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I'm in, especially pre-LRRS dates
-
Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I'm planning on doing somewhere between 5-10 days at Loudon next season.
My previously preferred vendor has backed away from a significant presence at Loudon for next season.
I've made no decisions about who to give money to for track days next season.

Any other questions? :D
I have a few:
What time will you start?
Will you run during lunch cause I like to.
Will linch option be vegan?
If it is about to rain can I cancel and get my money back plus 10% since you made it rain?
My bike won't pass tech can I ride anyhow and have everyone else sit out those sessions in case I leak oil or coolant?

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I've already bought a membership elsewhere, but I'm up for some more time at NHMS. So, if you get it going I'll sign up.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
Wait... Jim is on staff?
LRRS is going to charge me $60 for 8 laps of Jim-passing.
You're only going to charge me roughly $200 to do it all day long?
Can I sign up right now?

x10. It seems to me you need to have a very strong presence on many forms of social media among other things to fill up days. Even more so than the 'established' company's. Think more forums, facebook, twitter etc.... I would love to see another trackday there, Fishytail and T's are a bit sluggish in their fast groups. Even penguin advanced will hinder a fast track-day guy without a race licence by their grouping. I'd be happy to help if you need it.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I would love more NH time, and I have a few friends who probably would too. I want to race as soon as I can do it without being a danger to others, and I need a lot more time at NHMS before thats a reality.

Re: Poll: New track day NHMS
I def need a day before first race weekend, just to make sure myself or the bikew ont blow up lol
