Poll: New track day NHMS

[sdog30]

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.

Paul is small, but I've seen how he rides a bike... so he must be amazing in bed.

Now I'm sorry Paul, so sorry

Don't be sorry, you're right on track...

[sdog30]

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.

[GingahNinjah]

gonna need some Control Rider staff?? Id be interested

[MaRce1o]

I'm game for CR too Sam if you need...all depends on dates too because of work

[Jim]

[WinVT]

Yeah, I appreciate all the offers, but actually have a whole staff lined up.

So is bomo done?

I'm not sure what they're doing. I know they have some plans for next year, but I'm pretty sure there presence in loudon is going to be fairly minimal. I heard the same with Tony.

Just looking to fill there holes (insert joke here).

[sdog30]

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.

[Jim]

i wanted to vote for #3, but i dont care about the new tracks coming

There goes your cr position...gingah, you still interested.

[nhbubba]

...gingah, you still interested.

Just make sure he has his valves adjusted before the season starts.

[GingahNinjah]

Figure i could allocate a few vacation days for this especially if it irks Jim

[union]

Wow between Jim and ginja I might have to attend. Hopefully pick up a few things

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.

[FirstDuc-1098]

I'm in, especially pre-LRRS dates

[jasnmar]

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?

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?

[Kat_man]

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.

[GixerJockey]

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?

not to shit on your parade Noel, but i was 10 feet shy of lapping you in the AM/NV race that was only 5 laps.

[Honclfibr]

How do you shit on a parade? Helicopter? Hot air balloon?

my bad. I should have just stuffed him in 12 rather than letting him get through safely.

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.

[Petorius]

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.

[MaRce1o]

I def need a day before first race weekend, just to make sure myself or the bikew ont blow up lol
