    Okay, Thursday or Friday?

    Thursday: I've heard this is the one to do. Track time is outrageous, and very few people show up. Costs?

    Friday: I heard a lot of disappointed people say this weekend that they didn't get much in for their money. I think it's like, $70. But those same people said they only got in about 15 laps. If that's the case, I'd say it's hardly worth it...

    What's everyone's thoughts on this? I REALLY need to get some saddle time in on that thing, and I'd like to do it in a non race environment first, just to get used to it....

    Thursday you will get a lot more track time. For $100 it goes from 1-5 and if there aren't that many people there it will be open track the whole time. If it's busy 20-25 guys they split it up Am and JR/EX. But yes it you will get a lot more track time on Thursday. If you want we should do a Thursday practice that is from 8-12 (they are always held on a Thursday that is on a off race weekend). There is no more then 8-10 bikes total that show up. Last year I did a lot of these and that's how I got faster, because you don't have to worry about getting held up or getting cut off by anyone and the track is wide open.
    After doing Friday's practice and paying $70 I don't think it's worth the money. I would say if people can go on Thursday lets do it.

    The next Thursday practice is a 1:00-5:00 deal, I believe, and it's May 15th. I'll double check, but I think that's accurate...

    Originally, I was planning on taking Friday, the 16th off to go set up our pit area. But I can probably swing a Thursday afternoon/Friday afternoon thing just as easily...

    If it's something ya wanna do Kip, would you be into following me around some to gimme some tips/advice/slaps in the head? And would you be preevy to doing some 'follow the leader' stuff with me too?

    I would have no problem with doing that. I will have to check and see when my wife is going out of town on that Thursday. I don't think she would be to happy with me if I told her to take a cab to the airport, because I was at the track. She did mention she thought she would be flying out first thing in the morning which would mean I could make the 1-5 practice.

    Sweet, man! The LRRS site does have Thursday, May 15th from 1:00 - 5:00 down as the next Thursday practice...

    If anyone else can make it, the more the merrier! I'll gladly take tips/advice/slaps in the head from anyone that wants to show up that Thursday!

    If I can make it for Thursday I will help you guys set up. I really do feel like an ass leaving early and not helping take the pit area down.

    I would like to do Thursday practice too. It sounds like the most track time. I just hope it's the real track.
