What kind of rider are you? How experienced?
If you're anything like me, sport touring tires are plenty good 'nuf.
If you're not like me, well then I dunno.
And IIRC Emma finished the season on yellow group.
Keep an eye on the tires. They will let you know how they are doing.

That's on a much heavier bike than your viffer.
Aye. Not the ideal track bike, but I've learned a lot.
Just about any semi sporty street tire with about 50% tread remaining will be just find for a first timer on the track.
Your first track days will really just be like REALLY FUN street rides, but without all the risks that come with riding fast on the street, so whatever you ride with on the street should be okay for the track as long as they pass tech.

That's the way GW tires should look.![]()
Not all slabbed out in the center.. Good job Jason..
Pete has it square... Just bring you and your bike with good gear and decent rubber and have a ball.
Ohh. And if you do decide to race some day. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Come up to a race and walk around the garage area and check it out. The people are friendly and eager to help out. Stop by center garage 2 and introduce yourself..

Thanks for all the help guys. I've gone through Tony's, Penguin and Boston Moto to see what their calendars look like & Penguin have the earliest one (April 26th). I notice that most places have a strict "no anti-freeze" policy. I don't want to have to swap between water & anti-freeze all the time, so should I go for something like Redline Water Wetter so that the bike is still suitable for street riding?
Even during the riding season it's not uncommon to get nights below freezing in Maine.

Some of those additives count as coolant FYI...

Do local bike shops carry it? I checked their websites and all the distributors listed aren't local to me.
Is that gonna be $500 instead of $250? Not sure if I can clear that with the Minister for War & Finance right now.. though Valentine's Day is coming up!
That said.. if anyone is trailering their bike down and wants a co-pilot...
In Australia we turn left to go right

There are usually people with space looking for other people to split costs. Watch the TTD forum for ride sharing info: http://community.tonystrackdays.com/forums/forum.php I'll be coming down from VT with space for one but I usually don't go through Mass. Gino usually has space if he's heading down.

Our standard prices are $225 per day, so 2 days would be $450. If you think you're going to do more than 5 or 6 trackdays this year - then look into the Membership or 6-Pack options. The 6-pack brings your per day down to $200 each.
The Membership package will save you $100 off every trackday - so the total cost per day will depend on how many days you do. Here's the link to more info on that:

As for ride sharing, that will definitely be an option. People generally start posting up that stuff around April 1st.
This has been an awesome thread, thanks everyone! I'll post something up once I've figured out which event I'm doing to see if anyone wants to head down together. I imagine it'll be the earliest event on the calendar..![]()
