    Doc's Pitbike Trackdays/ Racing series (VERMONT) 2009

    Here is my tenative schedule for the 2009 Pitbike series.

    April 18th (invitation only, early season get together)
    May 23rd (Open to the public)
    June 6th
    July 4th, 11th or 25th
    August 1st, 8th, 15th or 29th
    September 19th or 26th

    I will most likely do 1 a month but for the months with more than one listed I might do an additional day depending on participation and or weather.

    I was thinking a $60 prebuy or a $75 for the day of the event.

    I am going to model this after TTD for now. We may do a "Race" or 2 in the afternoon if we have enough participants.

    I will collect the Fee's and then you sign a release.

    They day will go like this.

    7am gates open
    8am Tech inspection
    8:45 Saftey Brief
    9am Track open
    9-9:20 Blue Group (Fast Guys)
    9:20-9:40 Intermediate guys
    9:40-10:00 Red Group (slow/new guys)

    Then back to Blue. It will rotate like that with a 1 hour break for lunch and start up again at 1. The track will close by 5 with everyone out by 6pm.

    Anyone have suggestions?

    There will be a kids class if there are enough kids. If not I am sure we can figure something out.

    It will be like a trackday. (you can do half price) If we get enough peeps we can do a "race" or 2. I will need help with cornerworkers and such.

    You can take the wheels off if he can keep it on 2. :wheelie:

    HA!! If you have a bike I would be able to run a few sessions on, I'll coordinate corner working and race control for you. Sounds like a blast!

    I have a stock CRF50 with motard tires that I will be "renting" to select individuals.
    Let's say $10 a session on top of the daily fee and you promise to fix it if you break it.

    Granite city cycles in barre has an open house this weekend, sat the 23rd. I am thinking of checking that out (weather permitting)

    Seeing as in I'd be in the area, is it cool to swing by the shifter kart track and watch?
