Ill keep an eye out on what Mr Smith says, i was planning on going to NYST at the end of July with TPM, but i could prob switch and do a May date with you. I only plan on going to NYST once this year as it makes no sence to spend more money with a differnet org since i have the Tonys membership

FYI theres nothing special about that deal, so im going to pass. I will be going at the end of July with TPM since the price is the same. No sence in me trying to go crazy crunching money right now. I have a 2 big paintball events next month, A trip to the dragon in May, and Palmer on Mem day, so im going to hold off on NYST.

This week is a bad week for me to pay for "extra" track time. And I just connected the dots on some dates. I am still trying to figure out the budget for CSS @ VIR for May 11/12. You know dat sheet aint cheap but I "gotta go" ya know.
I wish I could make it, but I am officially out for any dates in May.

Im dumb, i mean end of July like i originally planned. Penguin just gives the added benefit of the class time at an extra expense, the price itself is the same for the track time.

Fear not Mr Fist!!!! I am currently trying to work out the logistics of getting to NYST and once i figure it all out---Im in! All I had to do was make a bunch of promises to the wife and she said I could go---not really-- I just cant pass up the opportunity to ride all 3 tracks in such a short period of time.

Well guys I really want to to got to the NYST, does anyone want to ride out with me. I dont want to go solo. 3+ hours drive with trailor and bikes. I just want to be sure I have a driver on the way home if anything happens. Let me know if you wanna ride up with me. I have a trailor that can take 2 or 3 bike easily and a truck to pull them with just need a copilot that can drive a 5 speed!

Don't sweat the contingency. If something happens at the track I'll call in the troops to help (wife drives stick and so do I). Not ideal, of course, but that concern should not be a deal-breaker.

OK I am in 100% as of now. I am waiting to purchase because the wife and my Friend may also be coming. I know space is limited so I am pushing them to decide. Either way I will be going and probably getting instruction. I am trying to get Cheryl and Mike to get instruction also.
Time for celebration--Some of you know I have been working but looking for a "contract" position. I just got the offer I was waiting for and it was slightly better than what I was asking! 2015 has been great so far except for the weather! |

Since it decided to $U*#@U@!($)*@ snow again today I took out my frustration by safety wiring my wheels. Don't need to. Just had to do SOMETHING motorcycle-related.
Cripes. THAW OUT ALREADY.

You should safety wire your headers next, it's a pain and it takes forever but I'm pretty sure it's necessary
It's also hilarious, I suck at safety wiring things so you can tell on my bike what I've messed with by simply looking at how tight the safety wiring is

Palmer, MA update 5/11/15
Tony (@ttd, of Tony's Track Days) and Ken Condon went to the opening car day at Palmer.
The facility has made great progress. Paved paddock, jersey barriers all around the track, with tire walls in places. Looking good! Ken shot video for those of you thinking about riding there. This track looks awesome.

That track looks sick, so much safer than it was before.
I'm interested in riding it and it isn't too far. I may be down for a 2day event somewhere down the line if I have cash when people are going

Cool. Hope to get there this year. Wish I could get to nest again but with this track and Thompson we are getting too spoiled to drive four hours.
