    Free trackday!

    Ok gang here it is. Ive been very lucky over my biking career and Im going to share the wealth. There are a few stipulations. One I was just made aware of but its not a big one.

    I have one free day to Tonys track day to give. It is for the Tuesday April 29th date only. Yes its a bit short notice but nothing I can do about it. I just found out myself. This day is for someone that has NEVER been. For those that have been Im sorry. We all know how much fun it is and I want to share it with someone new. If you cant get the day off dont put your name in. If youre going to sell it dont put your name in. I could easily sell it myself. If you have been on the fence about doing a day but couldnt justify the cost well here is your chance. You just need to get there and pay for stuff like gas and tires. The last stipulation is you need to find me at some point in the day and introduce yourself if I dont already know you. If I already know you well still find me and let me know how its going out there. NESR members only

    This is open to ANYONE that has NEVER been to a trackday. To give you guys and few days I will do the drawing on Wed when I get home from work. That gives you until Wed 11:59pm. Any names up after that wont go in the hat. It will also give the winner a little bit of time to get the day off from work and get your bike and yourself ready and up there.

    This is for Tuesday April 29th only.

    Info about the day and what you need to do is here Motorcycle Track Days for the New England Region

    Good luck to those that enter.

    Re: Free trackday!

    I have never been and am really anxious to go, my name goes in the hat!
    My name is, Michael "the yellow dart" Caras IIII de Peabody de Massachusetts.
    Yes thats my whole name, I didn't just say it like that to have the largest name in the hat and hopefully increase my chances of winning.

    Re: Free trackday!

    Drat, my first read of this was it was open to anyone who's never attended a TTD. Sweet, I'll just drop my name in. Then I re-read, and it's for total track day newbies, so my Penguin/Ducati Revs New England day, and Fishtail day mean I'm out. D-oh! So much for making a potentially 5 day week on the track... (assuming I get my license Fri, race Sat/Sun, win the raffle and attend TTD on Mon...)

    Damn!

    I've never been and the 28/29 will be my first. To bad I already paid.

    How about a free fork service instead

    Can I throw in name for him? I know he has never been and wouldn't get up there any other way

    No free fork service and each person has to put in their own name. Hes free to enter himself.

    i meet your requirements. i can get the day off, never attended a TD, and obviously a NESR memeber. However, a track bike is what i'm missing. I'd need gear which I know can be rented, but I wont be looking for a track bike till the winter.

    I've never done a two wheeled track day (one HPDE at NHIS in my Miata), I can take the day off from work, I have all the gear, I can have my bike prepped in no time at all, and I want to go really, really, really badly Hooray for run-on sentences!

    He's been before. Him and Joe turned up an hour after the rider's meeting, managed to get a session or two in each, then left after lunch, LOL.

    I'd love to see kham there again, though.

    Bump. Chances are looking good for the few people that entered. There has to be more out there that want to do this.
