    Re: new to nesr

    Welcome aboard. Lots of racers here and folks way more knowledgable than me. If you have never done a track day I suggest you get a few of those under your belt. In fact, you might consider doing as many as you can this season and then plan on racing next season. Once you have gotten some experience on the track you want to sign up for the Penguin Race School at NHMS. The Oldest Motorcycle Roadracing School in the Country! - Penguin Roadracing School

    Here are a few of the folks that offer track days at New Hampshire Motor Speedway - New Hampshire Motor Speedway

    Fishtail FISHTAIL RIDING SCHOOL
    Lean Angle (not sure they're still doing this...no schedule posted) Lean Angle Performance School Home Page
    Tonys Track Days 0 TonysTrackDays.com
    Seacoast Sport Cycle - Seacoast Sport Cycle - Home
    BCM Ducati - BCM Ducati
    North East Ducati Owners Club - NEDOC.org - Index

    Thats a short list...there are others! But start by cruising some of these websites and you'll get a good flavor of whats out there!

    Again..welcome!

    Re: new to nesr

    Come on down! I applaud your wanting to get on the track. MUCH safer than riding "dirty" on the street.

    My first year racing was last year, Had a few Trackdays before that. It is a great time! (expensive but hey you have 2 Ducati's)

    These guys (and gals) and everyone at the track are very helpful. I couldn't have done it without them.

    Look us up just as you come out of the tunnel most of the people you see as you come out are people from NESR. I pit on your left as you come out.

    Oxx's school bus is a dead give away for the NESRians. The only reason it isn't a short bus is that there are too many of us!

    Re: new to nesr

    Welcome to the site and great to hear some track interest. I recommend, as a non-racer, coming to the track and hanging out, possibly even cornerworking. It is a great way to get to know the track in a whole different way, and talk to the people who are up close and personal with crashes (and maybe learn second-hand how to avoid them). Hope to see you in T1 in April!

    Hey dude, welcome to the forum! Glad to hear you're gonna be comin up to the track, it's a blast up there

    I'll be sure to keep an eye out for ya & introduce myself... a veritable shit ton of NESR members show up on any given Tony's Track Day event & I'm scheduled to work at every single one of em... so between that & racing I'm sure we'll bump into eachother eventually.

    Re: new to nesr

    It must be getting close to the riding season. A new guy shows up and no one gives him shit, everyones nice to him and to top it off he says "Thanks for the warm welcome".

    Guess everyones panties have been unwound due to riding season being so near........

    Owell,


    Welcome noobie,now go fuck yourself.........
