Trailerboy531 · October 26th, 2012, 02:11 PM

Hanibal (Brian) and Kit, you two are awesome! I'd love some help teaching the noobs. Just a session or two of showing them some lines and watching their BP to help them get started. We're gonna have so much fun, I'm so excite!!!!

hanibal · October 26th, 2012, 02:28 PM

No problem! Everyone was a noob at one time an today's noobs are tomorrows racers! I've had and still have had lots of help getting faster and I'm happy to be able to help anyone that needs it.

Checked around Ventura yesterday and not much selection. I'll head down to LA somewhere this weekend.

What size suit do you need? Cause i have a couple of suits in different sizes.

Zombiphone · October 26th, 2012, 02:35 PM

Not sure what size you wear, but I also still have a spare Dainese one piece in a woman's 46 (I'm 5'6" 130 lbs and it fit me perfectly). Might need a little duct tape, but it's more than adequate if it'll fit

alex.s · October 26th, 2012, 02:55 PM

speaking of ducttape... i think i stole someone's black ducttape...

LOL!

edit: OH OK! i get it. cause the only way a woman would sleep with me is by force.

My inseam is 30" and hips 43" (wow I really just posted that

). Tiffani has a women's 48 but she's a bit smaller than me; not sure what that translates in mens.

jenndiggity · October 28th, 2012, 08:56 PM

ok, got all my gear except shoes at Bert's.
Thanks to those who offered for me to borrow.
I'm STOKED!

Trailerboy531 · October 28th, 2012, 09:06 PM

Which suit did you land up getting?

jenndiggity · October 28th, 2012, 09:41 PM

Got a two-piece Alpine Stars with their Stella gloves. I REALLY like the Dianese back guard but got the Icon Women's Stryker Vest for the front side protection; got to protect the ladies!!
Now I just need boots. I think I want the ones that go under the pants. Any suggestions?

Trailerboy531 · October 28th, 2012, 09:49 PM

Nice suit!!!! I honestly don't know much about boots fitting under the suit. I know the Dainese Torque Ins are designed to fit very well inside of Dainese suits, not sure how well they work with other suits. I've seen SIDI STs under other suits as well.

I think its more about whether or not your suit will allow anything to fit under the pants. I doubt you would be comfortable wearing something underneath.

tooblekain · October 28th, 2012, 11:28 PM

For anyone that wants to attend this but needs a suit...and wants a quality suit for cheap, I just posted this in the classifieds sections:

Make sure your suit's legs can accommodate boots under the leathers. My Dainese's have an extra zipper to allow the boot to fit but I know not all brands have this.

Nemesis · October 29th, 2012, 10:33 AM

Just want to mention something in lieu of losing a recent member (not to say what he did or didn't do had any ties to what's mentioned below).

What not to do: For those attending this event, especially those who've never ridden the track, you're going to experience a thrilling sensation of pure adrenaline rush. And this adrenaline rush will continue to flow through your body for days, maybe even weeks after the event. Some will immediately get bitten by the bug and sign up for the next trackday while others may attempt to practice their acquired skills on the streets (i.e. knee dragging, speeding, etc.). My personal opinion regarding the latter is...fight the urge to do so. Street riding, IMHO, is to get to point A to point B in a safe manner all the while abiding by the law and being considerate to other motorists. While track riding may enhance your street riding it is not meant to encourage you to practice track skills on the streets: Speeding through traffic, attempt to drag knee in the twisties, etc. Attempting to practice/test your skills on the streets may have a detrimental result not only to yourself but to others (i.e. your bike flying towards oncoming traffic).

I think the reason why so many bikers take it to the twisties is because it's free. No financial costs to speed and attempt to practice their skills such as knee dragging. But what they fail to understand is that there are costs: Speeding tickets, delayed medical response time, numerous distracting objects, oncoming traffic, and potential objects such as oil/grime/etc. that may cause you to crash.

There's a reason why most racers/trackday goers no longer ride the streets: It's because we enjoy track racing/riding so much we want try to eliminate possible risks that can prevent us from enjoying this sport.

All in all, this is my personal view and suggestion. In no way am I saying to give up street riding completely. All I'm saying is think...THINK real hard about the consequences before you roll on that throttle more than you should when street riding.

I couldn't get the day off from work. I need to find someone to replace me.

andylawcc · October 29th, 2012, 01:18 PM

Yup, no more canyon for me too, but that I think it's pale In Comparison to track, but I am truly afraid of it.

Flurbadurba: I don't think you will have problem selling it , as it is completely sold out, try socal Moto.org

Alright so neither of my brothers will let me borrow their truck, which I really thought one of them would so I'm looking at a $200 truck rental to go down there. Woohoo!

That's more expensive!

My dad says he might come down (split the cost of a rental), he's an amateur photographer, would they let him on track to take pics?

Not on the track.... But around the pit area. Chucky had a contracted photographer.

the trailer hitch is a permament investment. next time, it's only the 20 bucks trailer rental that you need to pay.

1st time: 250 + 20.

2nd time: 125 + 20.

3rd time: 72.5 + 20

4th: 36.25 + 20

5th: 18.125 + 20

6th: 9.0675 + 20

by the 7th its only less than 25 bucks a day.

his dad can probably get a good shot of people coming out the last turn before the front straight with a 300mm (a 1.4x or 2x extender will be nice) ... but THAT's ABOUT IT.

You're math is confusing/inaccurate

So I have a 2000 maxima, I'd be able to get a trailer hitch attached to it? Wish my sister hadn't totaled my moms last car, that thing had a hitch.

He's got a DSLR with a telephoto lens and other photography jargon. I didn't mean actually out on the track but where ever he would be allowed would he be able to get decent pics?
