I got the same feeling, I said a few things to him but it fell on deaf ears. He was only interested in going as fast as he could. Was it over his head? Sure, he made a lot of progress real fast without knowing what to do with that progress aside of find his limit the hard way. Could have been much worse, glad it wasn't.

Also, I had alot of fun flicking through the tire chicane. During my lvl 1 at CSS, we did a parking lot drill that they called the "steering drill". I just did that drill through the tires. It made it pretty fun. @ttd kept it interesting by moving the tires around between the two days too.

It's definitely a track that takes time to learn. I ride several new tracks or configurations regularly, and palmer took me a day and a half to get the line right. Now I know the line and I am still adjusting corner entry speed.

I will go if TTD adds an Holloween event after Oct 20th! I would love to do one more run at Palmer this year but I doubt I will get the chance! Why do I plan a month long trip during peak track riding season?

Have a merry chistmas Pals! Tony put prices up now and all his Dates, sadly I think ill only do 2 days next year since his prices didn't go down and he hasn't made any type of bundle packs. So as it stands im looking at Memorial day at Palmer, June 13,14 mid Ohio trip, June 20th at Louden, and I may try to get in to the Ducati day with ECS at NYST if they do one later in the year. Be safe out there!

Merry Christmas to all as well.
The tracks did not drop their prices any, so I did not have much choice on my pricing. I am still working on a bundle package... Probably for 4 or 5 dates. After that, the membership makes more sense.

I agree on the membership, and business is business. I saw fishtail has 1 palmer date, but the pricing is so close id rather ride with you anyway. If you do a 3 or 4 day deal I would prob jump on it, and I finally conned a friend into coming to the track. He bought a suit and we will be signing up for memorial weekend, still unsure for 1 or 2 day though on that.

Sounds good.
Pricing is always a tough thing... especially coming off a year like 2015. I was planning to drastically cut the number of days I had - which would ensure they all sold out - but I kept the number of days pretty high and I'm trying to add 2 new tracks to the schedule. I will likely have some days that are losers again... but hopefully the overall numbers will be positive.

At this point, the new tracks are Loudon and Limerock (if I can get the dates with Limerock)
The Tamworth track is not able to give me dates yet, so we're probably looking at 2017 for that track.
