Seems the contest was really over before it even started but we have a winner! @Koala will receive a free track day paid for at Mid-Ohio.

Koala, you now have some homework.

1. Schedule that MSF and get a comfortable, working knowledge of the controls and at least be able to putt around the streets at whatever comfortable and safe pace.
2. Lemme know when you wanna go to the track and I will make all the arrangements.
3. Get your gear together, don't forget the track has rentals for anything you might not have.

Gratz and happy holidays!

@Koala

I have a personal request of you aside of the riding requirements above. Please bring your camera or a memory stick and if Jade is not in school... I will bring the photographer. If Jade is in school, I will send a message to Kyle Hunter on your behalf to get extra photos of your day.

Congratulations, Koala! The only disappointment in the thread is that the kids had come up with a unique way of choosing winners (it involved nerf guns!). We'll hope to use it for the next one...

One more thing....

@allanoue, very honorable of you to put your name in the hat on behalf of another. Special thanks to you. You're in PA, please consider yourself personally invited to attend the PitRace track day(s) with the gang when we get it ironed out.

The idea is great! A 1 on 1 track day would be great for a newer rider. Most of my track days in the beginning were go by myself, hangout by myself, ride by myself and then go home. having someone there to ride with is a huge difference.

BEST.XMAS PRESENT.EVER.

Thanks, you guys

@csmith12 I plan on having my real camera there when I come out. Can't have another day of pics of teeny tiny bikes on my phone lol. I would be honored to have Jade as my photographer if she's not in school.

I had already given my manager at the cleaning place the heads up that I would be taking a couple days off to go to Mid O in either June or July awhile ago so it's all taken care of on that end.

Now, It's all on me to get everything in place and get there. Trust me, it's on....

Merry Christmas everybody

@Koala, this is still waiting for ya.

Common, anyone can take a couple of days off work with multiple years of advanced notice. Come out and just show up and I will take it from there.

I am wanting to make someone's FIRST TIME track riding dreams come true as best I can, by paying for a track day for the winner. 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 and 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 from Mid-Ohio that can be used for 2yrs from the time of issue.

Entry Deadline: Dec. 24th 12:59:29 EST

Requirements to enter;

1. Create an intro thread if you do not already have one
2. Post a pic of your bike in intro thread or link in THIS thread to your bike (a 250 is not a bike requirement, any bike you are willing to bring to the track is fine enough)
3. You must not have completed an entire track day... EVER! aka, a 2nd attempt is ok this go round
4. You must come with an open mind and be willing to learn real skills that will save your skin

And last but not least, you are going to have to put up with me for the day. Cause I will be in your face after every session.

Winner will be selected at random via a nerf gun contest governed by @Alex's choosing if he so agrees or I will pick a winner at random.

Good luck to you all!

I see what happened,

I saw the other post with this year (2017) first, went off looking for my old introduction thread, came back to this sub forum looking for the 2017 thread which is actually in the Riding Skills sub forum not Ninjettes at Speed. When I found this one I saw it was 2016.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

@csmith12 I am taking the necessary steps to ensure that I will be there next year. It's just a little more difficult to get the time off as a manager. I am extremely thankful for the gift and I look forward to seeing you and having a blast. Do they do track days on Sundays at all?

I think there will be one or two on the schedule in 2018. We will have to wait in and see in mid Feb.

Gratz on the manager position, hope things are going well for ya.
