Mr. Tomato....

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY WE MEET...

Saturday afternoon the motley crew is supposed to meet up at your house to load up and prepare for a crack 'o dawn departure Sunday...n'est ce pas?

So...where IS your house? Or where should we meet? (Thought it was somewhere in the original thread but can't find it anymore!)

Was gonna program some routes into my Zuma...


....any further discussion on Kim offer to bring her husband in as a part time indentured servant/cook? I would be happy to kick in to buy bbq stuff and share the cooking duty...

[Pittenger5]

Giggity!
Anything we need to bring that wouldnt be obvious for a track day? Like entertainment for the winnie or food or drink or anything? I do sing and dance for quarters, so that should amuse us.

[DucDave]

Good thing to bring water...I will probably bring a case of Poland Spring or something.

Deck of cards...Texas Hold em tournament?

Still not sure how to get to departure point...was gonna pre-program some routes into my Garmin...

[The Crashing Tomato]

There's really only a couple of Winnie courtesy rules

keep driver awake
keep driver fed
keep driver hydrated
keep driver entertained


If you can cover this the winnie has DVD capabilities and VHS with a 27 inch tv up front


Hey all that are going and meeting us can you post up what your toting with you for example

Pitt : 1 bike and 1 large duffle bag and 1 set leathers and 1 set of rain tires

I am trying to plan out for the trailer loading and bike count etc...


MY ADDY: 264 Pine st Leicester MA 01524

these are the directions from the off ramp of Mass Pike exit 10 to rt 12 south to my house



you can also take 190 south and take these roads




I will put my 4 wheeler at the end of the driveway for you to see as you come down the street.

I have a little more snow to clear to accomodate you parking at the house
and be able to get the winnie out of the drive but it should be fine it is almost completely melted.


As far as the cookout???? Starts any time after noon ...hang, prep the trailer, eat, ride the quad, kick the dogs ... the more day lihgt we have to load the trailer the better

Kim .... the h.ubby is more than welcome to take the reins as chef for the day. you guys live close correct?

I will get an alterative to BBQ

Post up .... chicken or burgers and dogsor both


I will have a case of water for the trip if you want/need something different please bring it. the fridge can fit a case of soda cans and a couple of other things plus a little food and it has a freezer if we want to bring some food to cook up after riding

I've got Faster on DVD (as I'm sure most of you do)....I could watch that a million times. Any other racing videos ya'll got? A bit of poker sounds good to me as well.

From what I can tell right now...1 bike, 1 large gear bag, rear stand. What is the best way to handle fuel? I've got a 5-gal fuel container.

How about chicken and beef kabobs, rice of some sort, grilled veg? Ed and I can bring the fixings for that and if anyone wants to do some muchies/apps, that would be cool. How's that sound?

For traveling food...sandwich fixings, chips, fresh fruit, that sort of thing? What is the food situation at the track? Is there any place to pick up a little something for breakfast? It looks like there's a place for dinner...right?

Going back to working on the SS now....I can't wait 'til next weekend!

I got a ton of racing videos Ill bring along.
And Im gonna drain the coolant, and not add water, it looks like it might be chilly at night. Is there a place at the track to get distilled water or do we hafta bring it?

I don't think you'll find distilled water there. Suggest you bring along some Water Wetter and just add that to regular water...at least, I think thats what others do. I don't even think about it..!!! Right Kim???!!!

[DucDave]

I'll bring some home made baked beans....canadian recipe handed down from my father....(oh...and they're fart free)












maybe






















probably not

[Mongoose441]

Bike, Mounted rains, Big Duffle Bag (with all the gear in it), fr an rear stand, Small box of spares with tire changing stuff (box is the size of a 12 pack of bud bottles)

I eat food, Gonna bring my laptop for movies and most likely some work.

I've got a bottle of water wetter if you want it. Just let me know and I'll pack it with my gear.

[wookie]

bike, stands, rain/sleet tires, and a bag with gear and a couple spare parts.

Is someone bringing a decent set of tools?

[The Crashing Tomato]

Dave and I will bring tools. I will bring the usual metric wrench and socket stuff, screw drivers, some Jap specific stuff and Dave said he will do the similar but with some duc specific stuff as well

[Manny]

where are you guys staying while down there?

[The Crashing Tomato]

most of the crew is staying in suites and the rest in the RV

Why you going too?

[ku996r]

bergs and I are leaving sat morning, we will meet the RV crew in the front RV entry @ 4:30pm. Call my cell if you guys/gal get there earlier on Sunday.

[Degsy]

Kim was asking what the food situation is like down there.

At the track, the food is nasty. The hot dogs are 'ok' but the burgers suck. I would try to bring sandwiches or something. there is a pizza place about 5 minutes up the road (at the traffic lights where there is a big hump in the road, you can't miss it).

Enjoy and don't ruin the track for us when we go a week later.

derek

[The Crashing Tomato]

P&C see you guys there

Thanks for the H.U. Degsy

Is there a cheap-o-mart or wal-mart super center near by? I don't mind transporting food a few miles but not 600 mi


just for that comment I will be sure to leave some hidden fluid on the track

its the backwoods man

some small mini-marts on the way but unless something changed... dannville is 15mins away with decent restaraunts etc

Yeah, head out of the track entrance and turn right towards rt 57. Cross from VA to NC and back several times in 10 minutes. At rt 57 intersection there is another pizza place and a mini-mart on the right (Kinda like a Cumby's but built in 1953).

if you turn left onto rt 57 and go past 27 NASCAR collectible stores in about 10 miles you will come into Danville. There is a motorcycle dealership on the right. They are shite and don't even know what a clip-on is (don't ask how I know).

In Danville you will find a few chain restaurants and steak houses, as well as lot's of people with Mullets and fat chicks. Don't mention denno in any of the bars and don't mention my name in the Courtyard marriott.

The RESTAURANT/PUB at the track (NOT the snack bar in the pit area) is VERY VERY good. A little more pricey than Danville, but it's really good food and the bar is cosy. The service is a little slow if they have more than 20 people in there, but it was still ok. Not a place to go if you want to have a good old southern hoot 'n' hollerin' time.

If you haven't been before, the garage suites on the start finish staright and the hotel onsite are top notch. You can watch the bikes go under your balcony at 170mph on one wheel.

Enjoy.

[kermita]

Derek....

Thanks for the info!


VIR weather

[The Crashing Tomato]

Sounds like I'll fit right in down there

thanks again Degsy

[DucDave]

...no worries...lots of strip malls with real grocery stores within 15 minutes...maybe even a Piggly Wiggley!!!

(and that pizza place Degsy refers to...they have figured out how to make pizza with 7 times the grease of an average pizza. last time I was there the waitress looked like she had been mud wrestling in oil. after a full day on the track its not a bad place to reload however...)

[bergs]

My only fear about this trip is forgetting to pack the bike!

[Pittenger5]

Haha, open the trailer. Oh. My. God.
Call up UPS, can you ship a motorcycle in like 3 hours?
