I'm Lazy: Tell me about Homestead and ROC

**CEO** · 10-16-12, 03:47 PM

I'm sure this info is all somewhere but I'm lazy.

It sounds like there are two FL events this winter. Homestead and Daytona ROC.

What are the dates/details of both? Do both have a Friday practice and weekend races, etc?

From people who have done both, which is better if I could only do one?

What kind of costs are we talking to get all my shit down there?

Do either require me to do anything to my bike outside of LRRS rules and maybe changing my gearing?

Other input?

Do Daytona just because its Daytona. Everyone needs to ride it once.

Homestead is supposed to be a lot more fun to ride though. Never been there myself

**Pittenger5** · 10-16-12, 04:43 PM

Homestead is the anti-Loudon. Id do Daytona over Homestead just cause its Daytona as Scott said.

**Slowpoke387** · 10-16-12, 05:37 PM

I did Daytona ROC back in '98. Cool memories and nice to say I did it but, eh. The banking is way cool and unlike anything elsewhere. I agree everyone should do it once, but honestly I've had more fun at other tracks and didnt have to spend as much of a fortune in the process. Maybe a re-visit is in order one more time before I quit...
So yeah, do Daytona just because its Daytona.

Bring 2000 to get your truck/ trailer there (tolls there and back, gas, hotel, etc), 1000 to operate the bike (race entries, etc) and get a Westhold transponder (rent, purchase, etc).

Go OEM gearing at a minimum on your R6 and "no" on the bike prep if you're racing under CCS.

EDIT: Let me know if you want/ need pit help. Apparently the new job has me accruing (sp?) vacation time quicker than I thought.

And isn't the ROC now?

This coming weekend. Homestead is Nov. 30th. Penguin School Friday, practice Saturday and racing Sunday.

**CBR929RE** · 10-16-12, 11:25 PM

yeah if you have aspirations of doing ROC you better leave now or very early in the morning. Team Hammer School is thursday.

**CEO** · 10-17-12, 08:36 AM

Hmm OK I guess Daytona is out then.

And Bergs no fucking way am I driving my truck and trailer down there lol... I need to find someone going down and I'll throw them some cash and fly myself.

**CEO** · 10-17-12, 08:38 AM

FUCK! I have a school presentation on 12/1!

This is fucking awful

**Jim** · 10-17-12, 08:47 AM

i sent you a text yesterday with info about homestead.
if i can find transortation, i'm going

**CEO** · 10-17-12, 10:02 AM

Checked with my professor... definitely a no-go. FUCK!

Seriously, a part time evening program has an all day due date on a saturday... wtf.

Any other winter events besides ROC and this Homestead thing?

**Jim** · 10-17-12, 10:13 AM

I would be down to do the CCS homestead opener if there is a friday practice right before it... would you? Do you know the dates?

I'm def not going to go to daytona for just a track day.

**Jim** · 10-17-12, 10:38 AM

yes i'll go if you want to.

there will be some sort of friday track time (CCS practice, track day, etc) available.
the CCS opener for 2012 was on Feb 11-12 in Homestead. I'd assume it'll be around the same time for 2013.

Sounds awesome, let's do it.

I guess my only concern is will we be able to find someone to bring our stuff down...

**tsorfas** · 10-17-12, 11:41 AM

What did I wrong in life and am so poor?

**Jim** · 10-17-12, 12:11 PM

back off Sav. you buy everything for sale & post in every track related thread.

**csmutty** · 10-17-12, 03:42 PM

Ceo...i might be driving down to homestead with van and trailer for the opener.

**strgt** · 10-17-12, 06:09 PM

Since we are in the spirit of being lazy, is there any racing in December/Jan in FL (besides CCS or WERA)? I have two family members (well like family) that just moved down there. Both are within an hour of daytona so I have a good reason to make the trip. I was told they only have ROC and two track days a year at Daytona so thats probably not an option. Neither WERA or CCS have dates down there in late Dec/Jan either.

**Jim** · 10-17-12, 06:43 PM

Just check the track calendars. That's what's did. Road Atlanta might have some stuff

**Slowpoke387** · 10-18-12, 08:30 PM

Not a winter racing thing but...anyone wanna do an open TPM day at T-bolt next Tues? Open day - no sessions... bucket-o-fun...ride 'til u can't hold on anymore day...

Smutty that would be sick... keep me and Jimmy in the loop.

I'll throw you cash to take my shit down and I'll get a flight.

**Jim** · 10-24-12, 02:26 PM

i would really like to go to Homestead for the CCS opener.

**CEO** · 10-24-12, 02:59 PM

Let's do it Jimmy/Smutty
