This thread got bastardized pretty quick

I too am signed up for this trackdate and I will be on my trusty steed, SV650

This will be my second trackday, ever. I did my last one in May with PRRS and it was a blast.

**joberly** · 08-21-04, 12:29 PM

I'll be there, this will be my first trackday... can't wait! Just gotta get everything in order and find a trailer before then

**roadrider** · 08-24-04, 09:10 PM

I'll be there cornerworking...wanted to ride but got laid off so can't spend the money.

**s a x m a n** · 08-25-04, 01:33 PM

I can't wait!!

Tick Tock People...

Remember the SEPT 1 deadline for RETURNING riders that have paid this year.

If you are a "newbie" to TonysTrackDays.com, then the cost is $200 right now.

Spots are filling quickly... I imagine a lot of people are going to send in next week to get the $150 rate.

Visit the website in my sig file to see if spots are available (I will post in BIG LETTERS as soon as it's full, so if it doesn't say it's full, go ahead and sign up).

Questions that are NOT answered on the site? Email me direct or post up here... most people can answer them by now.

**highsider** · 08-26-04, 07:42 PM

I paid about a week ago, and I got a confirmation e-mail, but my name is not yet up on the site. Is that normal, or should I e-mail Tony?

**Suf Daddy** · 08-26-04, 08:44 PM

Yeah we know Bruce. Saw him in July.

Maybe we'll see him again Monday Tuesday at the Glen

**Suf Daddy** · 08-26-04, 08:54 PM

SInce I'm BACK to square one on a bike at a track. I'm concerned the bell won't go off like it would for others.............

I don't know about getting air, but plenty of people crash there If you are really aggressive, and hit the wrong line, it can unweight the tires enough to lose traction. It's the most dangerous spot on the track to go down IMO.

Don't worry though, it take YEARS to develop the nuts required to take T8 that fast on a motorcycle. Most people have survival reactions going off like crazy which prevent them from having any real speed through there.

No better feeling than to show up at a new school (tracQuest.com) knowing two people and having NO open slots for ride alongs because EVERYONE wanted to ride in the "grocery getter" (rental car)

The track events I do are like the Tony's Track Days, we're not allowed to time them. Most of the SCCA Production-type cars run between 1:05 and 1:10 or more, depending on the driver, the car, etc.

Suf Daddy always rents a car (seriously - like from Hertz or whatever) and drives on the grass more than the track - keeps up with prepped track cars. I rode with a guy in an Audi A4 once, we tried to catch Suf in a rented Chevy Malibu, decided it wasn't worth nailing the wall......

**Suf Daddy** · 08-26-04, 11:05 PM

Okay to be fair to Highsider, I spent an hour looking for the NHIS DVD from May' 04

1:25 traffic
1:22 open

1:05 in a production car? How can that be? I know the cars skip the T12 chicane , which makes 11 faster and give a better drive onto the straight, but come on, no car accelerates like a 600 sportbike, or an open classer.

Would those times include skipping 1, 1a, 2?

HOHUM:
The club I raced with (BMWCCA) typically ran 1:18's to 1:20's in the class I was racing in.
See the results of their last race here: http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/result...cing.asp?race=2
and that's with an eliminated 1, 1a/2 and a different setup for the second chicane as well.
Basically if you can pull 1:18s up there you are competative at the club level.

Cheers,
Chris

**TTD** · 08-31-04, 08:59 AM

We are very close to being FULL.

As the website says, you must email me first before sending in payment.

This will allow me to get a better count and not have 30 payments arrive at once.

Do NOT PM me or anything else. Send an actual email to:

tony@tonystrackdays.com and I will let you know if you can submit payment... or I will add you to a list and get back to people in the order that I receive the emails.

Thank you.

**hohum** · 08-31-04, 09:34 AM

Just paypal'ed the funds. This will be my first trackday, nervous as all hell about it, but I hope to learn alot!

See y'all there!

Cheers,
Chris
