2013 Newcomers - Racers

[JettaJayGLS]

You can use mine. Worst comes to worst all you gotta do is a buy a new case for the thing...isn't that the point of them?

[tsorfas]

Thanks J! I want it pretty much to get tips on body positioning.

As a new racer without a garage you can shack up in Center 18 next to GMD. That is the Newbie garage and is a courtesy for your first event. There will be experienced people stopping by and helping out.

So for penguin would it be best to be in the north garages? cause i was just gonna set up in the infield. If C-18 is available do we have to use it as a new-comer. I dont really wanna step on anybodies toes. plus if its gonna be as crowded as I think, it's gonna be hard to walk in that garage.

I'm just going by what I've heard posted here. I have no official information.

The Penguin School is run out of the North Garage. If you pit somewhere else, you may have to travel to the North Garage for some of the activities. The "infield" where people normally set up easy ups and camp, is quite a way from the North Garage (by foot, repeatedly).

You do not have to use C-18 as a noob. It is available, free of rent, for noobs. It is also near GMD Computrack, which, if you suspension isn't tuned correctly, may have the knowledge to help you out.

What is the record for the oldest guy to crash in the rookie race?

Rather than an unlimited class, I need a severely limited class .

It is being considered, but there are a ton of things that would need to happen.

[CEO]

Haha Jim's predictions are great

[csmutty]

I predict jim will be a bore on the cooldown lap. I wanna see a wheelie over the hill jimbo!

[Rada]

It's going to be fun to watch for sure...


Kinda wish I could do it again..

I expect that you will have plenty of space in C18.

>40!

[Mr. Kurtz]

>40!

If a 40 year old crashes in two rookie races, can we just count him as an 80 year old?

[tsorfas]

I am in for a bunch of weekends this year. Plan is to run my RS125.

I have raced a few times at Loudon with the USCRA. This is my first year with LRRS. I am running #521 as an Amateur.

I think you are the only one I haven't met from this thread.

[gene03079]

I got way behind at work today. The price I had to pay to practice on Thursday.

I should be at the track early tomorrow. I need to get set up and through tech. See you in a bit.

[tsorfas]

Sounds good!!

[nhbubba]

It took me a while to put race numbers with faces with screen names with bikes and so on. But I think I finally got some solid shots of the couple of you that I met.

See here.

Glad you had a good time. Dont let T3 slow you down. We have all had our mishaps through there.

If you havent put it together yet Im on the other side of you. #79 loudass motard

[tsorfas]

I wanna thank you all for the support! More detailed when I get home.

[shortbus]

At least you didn't crash... first practice, first lap Saturday I went for a slide, corner worker touches my tires and recommended I warm them up for the next round lol.

[DZircher]

any predictions for the Rookie Race and/or weekend?

Diz - wheelies in the launch. i suspect some "customization" on that pretty paint this weekend (but hope i'm wrong). probably will blame cold tires & "need" to buy something expensive.

I did get a fairing full of bird poop heading into turn 3. Does that count as a "customization"? It was a terrific weekend and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Thanks for the support, advice and chats. See you guys in a few weeks!! - diz

remind me to help you next time. in the meantime watch video of Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez. the last race from Texas has a ton of footage of him that you can watch and learn from.

[carsick]

Yeah, it was only me. Where the hell was everybody else??? And what about those helpful "expert" mentors?
