WVRC - Dirt track - 10/31

[Mr. Kurtz]

So, WVRC has finished their race season, but "will keep riding til the ground freezes," so this Saturday they are having another "family fun day." It's basically like an open trackday, but really less structured; you can ride just about as much as you can take. Here's some video from the last time we went:

They allow anything under 150cc to run on knobby tires, so if you've got a small dirt bike or pit bike, you can bring it and run it. Also, they have a few rental bikes, I believe they are XR100 and CRF150 models. In the video above, Adam is on a rental.

The day Saturday will run from 2-5, which sounds short, but you'll be tired by the end of it due to the somewhat open format. It's cheap, too. I didn't ask how much the shorter(normally 12-5) day would cost, but I expect $40-50 max.

I wanna get one ride in on the RM/CRF before putting screws in the tires, and I really wanna try the KTM out(I'm sure it'll be awful), so I'll be there.

I have video of you turning laps so I'd wouldn't say your awful but close to it.

This was a blast last time.

Do they just run the oval? Thinking about this.....Also if you hear of this being cancelled because of the rain, can you let us know?

I've been pestering your boyfriend for almost two weeks to go. They run the oval primarily, but they do switch to the TT course for a session or two, which comes off the oval into the "infield" and has a very miniature jump.

I'm going to ask tomorrow if the rain had any effect, but I don't imagine it would have.

[jerseygirl]

I have been too! Apparently we are breaking him down We are a definite maybe haha

140mi one way, I don't have knobbies for the TT-R, hrmmm... can you TT on BT45s I wonder?

Of course you can...

[Kurlon]

Of course you can...

Can I do so and not die?

[Paul_E_D]

THAT, I have no idea..

140mi one way...

You need a buddy to help put wear on that machine, don't you?!?

[Mr. Kurtz]

Sure you can.

I'm running trials tires on the RM/CRF150, and rain tires on the 450. Both are passable options...and I'm surprised no one has decided to drag out a race motard with rains for some fun...*cough* Clarkie *cough*

Now is the one time I wish I had a set of rains for my Husky............there is however an XR80 in my garage that could fit the bill for a good laugh (pretty sure the owner wouldn't mind me using it)...............fat guy on a little bike anyone?

Little bikes are fun there. Bring it.

I'm going to need some 'Rider powered by OutOfSpec.COM' vests if this keeps up...

If we go, no approved video will be posted anywhere on the internet unless I say it is ok. I might look like I have never ridden a motorcycle before this weekend.

Come on, you are a TT boot camp graduate!

[jerseygirl]

3 days of getting my ass handed to me by those guys helped a bit, but....

[Kurlon]

I have a set of rains, just no wheels to match for my KTM...

[nhbubba]

..vests..

I've worn worse before.

You know you just invited every yahoo with a go-pro, right?

I wonder if I could put the 160 rain from the SV on the DRZ rims.

I wonder if I could put the 160 rain from the SV on the DRZ rims.

I was wondering the same thing about my roasted 155 and the KDX. Except I wont be around anyway

Its also not a 17" wheel

I wish I have an XR kickin around still to do this with. Last time was fun.

They have rentals, and it's still cheap fun that way. Or, shamelessly post up looking for one to borrow.

[tls25rs]

Any details on these rentals of which you speak? Do they have a website?

Nevermind, I'm a dumbass and posted before I looked at your initial post

Not that cheap, especially considering how short the day is going to be this weekend.

I'll have something to play with there by next season. Gotta thin the herd first.
