pretty sure frenchy and i are going

[MarkMarine]

good luck guys. That looks like a crazy track, Gino don't you get bored on the hawk around all that banking? I looked at the track map and all I see is a long boring 2/3 of the track on the SV, just topped out and bouncing off the rev limiter at like 140mph

plenty of time to plan your strategy for the attack!!!!

if your bouncing off you RR I think it is time for a gearing change

[MarkMarine]

I was kidding

[Kurlon]

Anyone wanna sponsor my frankenbike in a class no one cares about?

Come on, someone's gotta try and give the Hawks something to worry about!

[Trouble]

I'm getting more and more excited about this! I'm totally pumped that Bill's going to be headed down as well. It'll be great to bounce ideas and strategies off a fellow Hawk rider. Now, if we only had a crew chief that had intimate knowledge of the track AND Hawks. Now that would make me even more excited!

What?! Not what I was looking for. Although it would be nice to see my machine on the podium... NOT HOW I WANT TO DO IT!

John do you have an estimate cost? Are you driving and towing there?
You assholes got me thinking about this...

[Jim]

Sav, $2k - $3k per person.

it's $1k in gas and tolls round trip.
$130 first entry. $90/additional
Thursday school is $250

steve said the MW bikes will go through 2 fronts and 3 rears for practice and 4 sprints.

So you are driving and towing?
$2k isn't bad

[MarkMarine]

2k isn't bad!!!??? shit. is AT&T hiring?

[tsorfas]

2k isn't bad!!!??? shit. is AT&T hiring?

Considering what racing cost 2k isn't bad at all to go to one of the best tracks in the country and it's far. Very far.

[Kurlon]

Too rich for my blood right now, I'm still trying to recover from Sept's bill...

[Trouble]

I'm borrowing a van from my father and taking my bike and Bill's down. My mother in law is moving to South Carolina from New Jersey so we'll help her on the way down. Plus I've somehow managed to convince my wife and dog to come along so it qualifies as a family vacation and "family time". We'll be staying with relatives for everything but a few nights of camping at the track. I'm cutting corners where I can but really trying to keep it fun and relaxed without worrying too much about the money. It's the one time in my life I expect to go down there and be competitive. I started calculating cost for you and I just get all twitchy so I'd go with Jim's numbers (and I'm going to forget I heard them). It'll be a long winter of not racing for my savings account to hopefully recover.

[Kurlon]

Give'm hell and come back with white plates!

[tsorfas]

Jim how are you going down? If I can bring my bike and gear down I will do it.

[jasnmar]

Less driving... More sleeping... http://www.amtrak.com/auto-train

[nt650hawk]

Green from the wife......

hear that Joel is gong down as well....

Got a call into my rents. Joel and Bill may be hooked up with sleeping accommodations.
23.9 mi, 29 mins

Hell, last time I went down it was $300 just in diesel. but we had like 14 bikes in a 26' trailer.

this would rock to have the tutelage of a former National Champion, credentials will be paid in full sir..



Let's do this!!

[Trouble]

Oh this is going to be fun!

Edit: Yeah, what Bill just said!

[Yknot]
