Merry Xmas - Contest for a free track day!
Just so ya'lls knows...
I am trying to think of a good contest for a great prize. I am wanting to make someone's FIRST TIME track riding dreams come true as best I can. I am currently racking my brain to come up with a contest that for the winner would be a free track day at Mid-Ohio. I will do my best to ensure the winner gets me as a coach but since I don't choose a rider's skill level, I cannot guarantee that or my group assignment for the day. What I can guarantee though; 1. A fully track prepped bike to ride (n250 or r6, rider's choice) 2. A fully prepaid track day, including lunch 3. A fully prepared pit spot; chairs, drinks, snacks, electric, tools, warmers... all the good stuff that the track veterans have (maybe even a garage if available) 4. The full gambit of track/race skilled coaches to answer any and all questions and help along the way 5. A day full of laughs and good times and at least one coach that will go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you have the best track experience possible The winner of the contest (TBD) will win a gift cert that can be used for 2yrs from the time of issue. Lemme know your ideas and Merry xmas ya hear!

If you win and would like to ride multiple days... we are going to have to chat to arrange sleeping arrangements, 2nd day's events and what is for dinner from the grill!

Yep, that is the plan. If I have extra gear that fits, they are welcome to it as well. Although, just so gear doesn't get in the way, Mid-Ohio offers gear rental by the day.
It really doesn't get any better, just lemme know ahead of time and show up with what gear you have and we can work it out from there.

@Alex - would you and your little ones/family be willing to draw a name out of a hat somewhere between Dec. 24th & 26th?

Your chance of acquiring good riding skills depend on your writing skills.

"No money." could be an acceptable entry, Al! It might be a problem if it was a math quiz!

I am honestly thinking the contest is as simple as this;
Must be a registered ninjette member for 15 days (it is winter after all for much of us... and Mid-Ohio will not be running PTR's until early spring 2017, so there is plenty of time) Must have posted a intro thread with a pic of their bike (250 not required) Must have never finished a complete track day Can provide your own transportation from your location to Mid-Ohio Not sure there is any other requirements for new track riders aside of a willingness/eagerness to learn and have a great time.

Great idea!
Having ridden both bikes I can attest that the r6 and 250 are both fantastic bikes that are ready to go fast and the mid ohio school has some of the best coaches around

If I convince you that I have an identical twin who's never ridden on the track, could he enter?

I vote for Koala. Anyone who comes out to a track day just to hang out and watch definitely deserves to ride. (backstory... she showed up at Mid-O when the Northeast crew went out there last summer, to check it all out)

I have never been to a track day. I have the money and the time. I have access to a beach house about 30 minuets from NJMP. Some day. It would be nice to pick the brain of the corner wisperer.
I will put my name, and if I win I will give it to Koala. If that is not allowed then I do not want my name in the hat.
