    I get the parts for the CBR tomorrow. If she's up to it, I'm in for 9/2.

    Where's the meet location?

    Oh, and Pete (Oreo) mentioned getting the $15 rate and getting onto the infield: http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...tml#post404076

    I'd be down for that. I'll being the dSLR and snap some photos.

    Well...

    I may be there one of those days. I like to leave from Derry at about 9:00 and stop for Breakfast at the Lion Cafe in Deerfield. Back roads all the way and arrive at track in time for Rookie Race on Saturday....

    I don't even know what time the races run. I was just thinking of tagging along with Joe.

    Well, about Mark, we can take his bike, since he won't leave the house.

    BTW...

    Nope, but I'll bet you're hoping that I was.

    Too bad for you.

    One of the few strictly enforced rules at the track is that no alcohol may be consumed at any time while racing is in progress (bikes on or scheduled to go on the track). So I wouldn't bring any beer on sunday.

    Motomarket sounds like a good meeting spot.

    Questions I have:

    What time do the races start?
    How long does it take to get there from Motomarket?
    Does anyone have a decent route from MM to NHIS?

    All this will determine the meeting time I would assume.

    This rule is for the infield. if you're in the main stands or in the stands in the bowl you can drink all you please. The vintage and sidecar races on monday are the best....besides watching me race that is.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    I highly recommend going for the whole weekend for those that can, that way you get the best of all of it. Rob and I have been going for the past year and a half, and this year we cornerwork. Though we also highly recommend that, we know a lot of you could be coming to your first race weekend, and therefore want to sit back and watch, which is perfectly fine.

    A few suggestions:

    bring a tent, or plan on getting a hotel room if you want to stay the night. most people don't have spare space in their trailers/campers.

    Get there ASAP to hang with as many people as possible and see as many races as possible.

    Practice is from 8-11, so if you're only coming to watch racing that starts at 12. HOWEVER, there is ample visiting time in the morning between practice sessions, and not many crashes.

    Plan for all weather.

    Cornerwork if at all possible. Best seat in the house and a great way to meet racers/learn race lines. Downfall: no picture-taking.


    Also, if you come on Friday, there aren't a lot of people around. The highest percentage of NESR racers is on Sundays, and most people get there at some point Saturday.

    Finally, you are always welcome in the turn 1a pits (Hawk guys), or right across the way (Low Down Racing and Cheap Bastid Racing), which is also where we pit. Most importantly, come tot he races, enjoy yourselves, and support our NESR racers!!!!
