I'll give you a handicap of 8 oz of HP sauce. Use it wisely. BRAAAAAAAP
Seriously though, we should make a point to get with the same control rider in the N group for the 1st day, then see about the I group the second day. We can have some fun that way. |

So is A, I, and N nothing like A, B and C? Because in C group I got passed by more than half the people out there that day. In C group no inside passing. The CVMA racers do B group on 250s I think

Advanced - full track and no rules
Intermediate - passing, with some rules. Novice - school in the morning, open sessions in afternoon. No passing until the afternoon, then it's only on the back straight. It gets kinda annoying when you run up on people. So don't worry, you'll do fine. |

Nah, it's perfect for the 250. The whole back half is tight and technical and the straight gives you a little resting time. After the control riders mentioned how annoying it is to be hero-passed on the straight, most of that stopped.
Oh, and you can top out the little ninjette as long as you get a good drive out of turn 5. |

...you gotta work on those tight corners before worrying about passing. Ya'll got some big sweepers out on those SoCal tracks
You and I both have a lot of learning to do before we worry about going fast. I've seen videos of your track time. They look like mine. We both need work yo. You'll like it. Trust me. Mid-O is a great track. |

Jiggles, a N group track day at mid-ohio is not the average track day. You will have CSS style drills for the first 4 sessions. 1 control rider to 3-4 riders. The no passing rules and such are just part of those drills, no big thing really. Don't go in expecting it to be as good as CSS but it is called "The Mid-Ohio School". Novice is further broken up into smaller groups based on pace. If you can ride it... you will get to go fast and passing/leading is part of the drills as well.
Trust me, take the time to learn the lines of this track and get settled & comfy. It's real techy on the back half. It's hilly with blind corners. The keyhole and carousel are a b*tch too. Starting at turn 7, it will feel more like a canyon run vs a race track. At any time during the day, if you think your ready to make the jump to the I (B for you Cali riders) group, just let me know. I will do what I can to make it happen.

Here @Jiggles In order to pass in the back half of the track, you have to take lines that are kinda odd. And honestly, you have to be kinda aggressive. This is the I group, just so you know.

Traffic was horrible for me that day. God... rolling off mid corner, off line and such, surprised I didn't bin it. But it's my fault for signing up in the I group for a nice lazy day on the track.

i'll keep you posted, I just found a VERY local job which is what I want, and may give me the salary boost and all. If I get that, I will consider doing the track days with you guys since I'd technically be able to just go out and buy another bike if something goes wrong (not saying im crashing!! lol). Will let you know how it plays out!

I'm in if I have a good portion of money saved by then (which I should). I'll definitely need my knee dragging fix, its been so long. Its $175 a day? Any special preparations we have to make? Like replacing the coolant with water or something?

Your questions;
Its $175 per day ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUP machines must use a non-ethylene glycol coolant. Water and/or water wetter, or propylene glycol solutions such as Evans, Engine Ice, Liquid Performance, or 7th gear, are permitted. If you are in Novice or Intermediate, be ready to tech for the next group up at any time. If you can't pass tech for the next group, you can't go faster . Which is why I say just go ahead and run water wetter or engine ice. Full rules are found here under "Requirements".

Actually, when trying to sign up, there are options to do a 2 day track event from 9a-5p. So we can essentially sign up for the 9-5 slot if we register for the both days, and is cheaper (excluding the discount you're working on). 3:30a-9 slot is for those registering for one day. I still like the 3:30a-9p slot. |

Falmouth KY to Lexington OH = 3.5 hours each way. Made the trip 7 times last year. It's not bad at all. Try Cincinnati OH to Jennings FL, 11 hours each way. Now that is a long trip.

The problem isn't so much the longer drive. Like I said in the ohio riders thread, I have a wedding to pay for this year so a lot of fun money is going to that unless we have most of the stuff paid off in advance. That's why I can't set any dates in stone since chances are I won't have a good idea until it's a lot closer. If I had it my way I would already be signed up.

I was just also told that they will provide dinner (grilled chicken/bbq chicken/burgers) for that night but sessions will continue during dinner. Meaning, the track stays green and you basically only get a 30 min lunch break.

On, a sad note. No group discount aside of the Forum2013 code (-$10).
Renting a UHaul is about $15 a day plus any deposit they require.

Also, I will most likely do both days as well. I already have 1.5 track days reserved for this year. Quote:
I'lll reserve my spot as soon as you get us the rest of that info on the discounts. How many people/bikes allowed per garage? I want to reserve one because I will for sure be going once I reserve, and I'll share. I just don't want folks to waste money when they can just chip in. |

It's normally 4 bikes to a garage - I will see if I can rent the garage right beside yours. So between the 2 garages we can get 6 more riders in out of the sunny weather we will be having.
