Hmmm.... that is a pretty long haul my good man. Is it worth it? I think so, but only barely for your average track day guy. If you really love tracks, then absolutely without a doubt it is worth the travel. As with anything extreme, you may love it or hate it with a passion. This track is not your average place and I feel it fits in that category of love it, or hate it. If you love large, sudden elevation changes and blind corners, this is your track. If you don't like those things, steer clear of here.
Also, the videos and pictures don't do it any justice whatsoever. Cresting the mountain just before turn 6, then flying down whiskey hill into the "shot glass" must be felt in person, your literally inches from the tire wall on the inside. If you wanna go sometime in the future, post up. If you can get with a group of friends, then the experience is 100% better. If I can make it, I will do my best to be there. EDIT: This is... as Tony says, a "mancation" track. Take a week off, take your time traveling here so you arrive fresh. Ride for 2 days, then take your time home. The travel + riding was a bit much to cram into 4 days, a fifth day to split as needed would have been great planning on my part.

tough question, it's better than jennings but the main point of jennings is that it's the only track that can really be ridden properly in the dead of winter (road atlanta and barber maybe?) and not that it's an amazing track
this track is the 4th best track that I've ridden on (due to lack of facilities, the track itself is fantastic) and is tied for my 3rd favorite. It's in direct competition with tracks like VIR N, Mid-Ohio, and Shenandoah(Summit Point) for me and those are my top tier tracks. So it beats Jennings GP, Thunderbolt(NJMP), Lightning(NJMP), Summit main(Summit Point), NCCAR, and VIR S which are all still fantastic tracks Just wait til @csmith12 's video comes up, this place is truly special and has the potential to become one of america's great riders tracks though it will never be a true racetrack for reasons of safety as well as the lack of ability to put up stands for spectators

1st – I would like to thank Tony for another great couple of days at the track. Once again your presence in the paddock helping and being friendly with your riders and family is a credit your org and adds a personal touch that you don't find very often. You and your staff make it a safe trip when traveling 800+ miles each way to come ride with your group. I would be more than happy to bring as many friends as I can to convoy up your way anytime for some good riding. In fact, Kevin and I will be back again and at least 2 others is already planning to tag along and more will follow me.
Thank you all for pitting and sharing some track time with Kevin and myself, it was a great time and great riding with each of you. Palmer is amazing but experiencing it with friends is what pushes it over the top. I held back my pace quite a bit to play nice in yellow group and be safe but I did get a chance to up the pace a few times. It really wasn’t really my best riding, I was constantly tight on the bars and never really felt comfortable on the bike. While the pics look good and all, I know what I should look like and I don’t see it. Now that I have a better idea of what this track is about and can plan the travel better, maybe next time I will feel it more. The trip was long but worth every mile I hauled. The track was unlike anything I have ever ridden. It’s like it was designed by a 15yr old playing roller coaster tycoon one Sat. morning. (track review pending) But being there with friends made the trip and experience one of the best in all my trips to any track. I enjoyed our on track time to especially see the progress ya’lls have made. Super stoked that I finally got to ride with the guys and even Tony too! Kevin says: Thanks to everyone for making this a great trip. It’s my favorite track ever and will go back anytime, just say when. Mainditory pose Special notes : Jay learned to love an Italian. Lol His riding in the wet was spectacular on his 250. I saw a very different rider than what I had seen at Thompson. Smooth, in control and a much calmer rider. The smile he had from dragging a knee made my whole trip. I was able to get on track with him for a session or two on the last day. Us both on 250’s out there passing bigger bikes in the wet and laughing all the way was priceless. (video pending) Ant and his lovely wife: OMG… the food and good laughs in the paddock. I didn’t get to see much of Ant’s wife’s on track riding but from what little I did see and hear (throttle) was great. From the side of the track, I saw smooth lines and heard nice throttle rolls. Wish I could have seen more. Ant’s riding was spot on and his lines where very good. With a little tweaking here and there, he was pushing faster laps with each session. (video pending) Now if he can get the ergo’s and suspension to his liking, faster laps with good technique will come even easier. Andrew: His conservatism strikes again and he missed a 2nd afternoon of good riding once the rain ended. But he is right, your head has to be in the game. Full disclosure: Kevin didn’t ride the second day for the same reasons. Anyway, I got to ride with Andrew a couple of sessions and he underrates his skills. While he focuses on pace so much, he rides with a smoothness with the bike and track that not many have (including myself). From the very start of following him, I could see that he was completely comfortable at his pace. (video pending) Once he masters the quick turn, things will change bigtime! Ben: Lemme tell ya’lls! Ben is a 100% different rider than what I saw just this Feb. He has made tremendous progress in both pace and form. Crazy guy rode in a downpour stayed in gear all day wet to ride the dry afternoon sessions just like it was no big thang. Lol This time around Ben was quieter in the paddock but I could tell the same fun dood was in there. It’s always cool to have him around in the paddock. Finally, it’s times like these that make me realize, I got nothing…. But I got soooooo much…. I truly enjoyed seeing all the progress you all have made. To be present when riding milestones are made is what drives me to do what I do. You guys did all the real work and deserve all the credit. I just enjoyed the ride with ya. Whether it be to drag a knee for the first time, to “feel it” when a rider finally feels the bike being your slave to the corner or to feel the bike respond instantly to a real quick flick input to the bar, it’s all the same to me in the end. While I didn’t come to coach, helping out where I can will always be a part of the track for me.

I think the only track time i will do next year will be if the group decides to go to Mid-O, and if you guys return. Got a wedding to plan and all that, but i cant miss out on these events. This and the Dragon trip with my friends were the best weekends of my summer.

Is it too cold? Shut down? I would consider it for "Mancation" next year. (there's a story behind that name, but all are invited) (each year, after the TTD Trackday season is over, we do a "travelling trackday" to some other place.) Here is the link to this year's event to NC Bike, where we rent the whole track just for us (about 30 riders... 2 groups)... Anyone on here is welcome to come also. However, we have also just brought our group to someone else's trackday... kind of like you all did coming up to Palmer. http://www.tonystrackdays.com/catego...g-trackday.htm

^ I'm not in due to cost but NC Bike is fun as hell, I've done 3 races there (2 endurance and one sprint) on my 300 and it is a fantastic track. Plenty of grip, tons of passing lines and great runoff. I can't think of many tracks that are better to safely improve a rider's skillset.
btw, if you run times on your 250 let me know if you get lower than a 1:44 as that's what I've run there. I'll get lower times the next time I go for sure as every lap I go just a bit faster. Afaik the fastest that has been seen on a 250/300 was a 1:38 but that was elbow dragging pace

@Mr. Fist - Your vid is about 15mins long. @Jay - I got day 2 of you, just over 5 mins during the wet sessions, wish we could have got some dry stuff from day 1. Ya'lls get the raw vid, I didn't doctor it up in any way. Ya'lls make yourselves look good.

Non disclosure notice
Chris,
You have permission to post any video you may have of me except for when I was in the Porto Potty! My wife also said you can post any video of her (if you have any) and Zoe gave her thumbs up also! I did some work on the bikes yesterday and discovered that my wife did indeed touch her kick stand mount down! She was leaning over hard on both sides of her bike and dragged hard parts Next year is going to be expensive, she wants a "Pine star" full leather suit with knee pucks and an RC390 plus a membership with Tony's Track Days! I may have to get a part time job just to keep her in fresh tires I also repaired my friends Honda Super Hawk. He wants to hit Palmer on Sept 7th so the last trip may not have been my last this year. I will let everyone here know if we are really going (he has backed out before) once he purchases his spot. I am really broken up about having to go back to that track again so soon! Last futzed with by Ducati999; August 17th, 2015 at 04:54 AM. Reason: to add "Pine star" |

Hahaha....
In mine go to 6:30. I almost lost it in Turn 7. You can see at least two, if not three, steering corrections through the corner. Kids, do NOT do this.... And yeah, Chris, you're right. My steering really is slow.

From our chats, this was the first time he had focused on quick turning, sure... he lost a bit of his smoothness but it will come back. Once the foundation is there, he should have a faster pace without even knowing it happened and a more aggressive throttle roll should come along as bonus. Not much is more confidence inspiring than knowing you're on a good line and it does wonders for your throttle control.

No question... Chris is Agent Smith.
It's in the eyes.

Well Guys,
I had the wife convinced I had to return to Palmer one last time this year (Sept 7th) to "Guide" my friend Mike thru his first ever track day! Everyone has an easier time their first trip if they are with someone who has done track days before right? Well I got all excited after fixing his bike and him telling me he would be going on the 7th. Well he just told me he will be leaving for Florida on the 7th and will have to do his first track day next year! Now I dont think my wife will tell me I cant go just because Mike bailed out last min but should I bother loading and unloading all the gear and bikes and other essentials just for a fifth day at Palmer? Or do I just call it an end to a spetacular season and pack all the bikes into the heated basement untill the spring melt arrives? I will be riding in the Philippines--it just wont be Palmer. I will leave it up to Mr. Fist-- if he joins me I will go but I am not going solo! |

FYI for those who will be riding with TTD next year....
Here's the deal with memberships for 2016. I'm signing up... it worked well for me this year. Tony just posted this over at bandofriders. Quote:

Git some Mr. Fist!!!!
@Ant, don't think I forgot about you. I got your video rendering and a long upload will follow. Sorry for the delay, just got things goin' on. I will admit, I could have done a better job on the edit, but crashing sucks.... Hope the vid helps you in your future track adventures. Stay tuned... ETA 6 or so hours.
