March 10th trackday at Talladega?
If we were to organize a Marietta Motorsports trackday on March 10th, who would go?
And, by "Marietta Motorsports trackday," I mean: Small groups, usually no more than 15-18 on track at a time Free lunch from Jersey Mike's of Kennesaw, drinks, and snacks Pictures by Raul Jerez of Highside Photography Plenty of instruction available, but not mandatory Incredibly good-looking control riders (except for John) Who's in? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2BET...ature=youtu.be

From the MarMo Facebook page:
Happy Valentine's Day from everyone at the Shop. In honor of the holiday, I'm running a special on our upcoming trackday: If you register for the March 10th trackday at the same time as your significant other*, I'll take $25 off of each of your registration fees. So, you get to go to a kickass trackday with your valentine AND save $50! The deal ends at 6:00 PM today, so call the shop ASAP to register: 770 425 5252. *"Significant Other" can be defined as boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, partner, main chick, side chick, side-side chick, late-night hookup, hetero life mate, snugglebuddy, and anyone you've seen naked. The only stipulation, per Huey, is that you have to admit to one of these circumstances. XOXO, Ed

The word on the street is that we're going to have a very special guest control rider/speaker/badass riding with us on the 10th. Stay tuned for more details!

Doesn't anyone go to Daytona anymore?
Biggest race of the year and everyone is going to Little Tally(wacker) instead. And you wonder why they don't have more AMA on TV.

Nobody I know (who isn't actually racing) is going to Daytona until later in the week. Bike Week is a joke.

I'm just joking, real professional racing sucks. All you really need is track days and dreams about doing a club race to pretend to be a real fast guy.

For those of you who ARE planning on being there, let me know as soon as you can. There are open slots in all the groups, but the novice group is on pace to fill up much sooner than the intermediate and advanced.

In other news, last weekend's WERA racers cleaned up all the debris and laid down some grippy rubber at little Tally, which should make for a perfect track surface.

If we have enough 250s, I've been given the go ahead for at least one 250-only session. We usually have at least one control-riders-on-250s grudge match at our events, but it would be cool to have a swarm out there!

I hope it fills up for you Ed, unfortunately I had to decide between the WERA practice day at Roebling and the MarMo event...
I only have 8 lap total at RRR, and those were in cars during Onelap.... |

I do most of the organizing for the trackdays, yes. We predominantly go to Talladega, but have also done Roebling in the past.

And they are awesome. I think I did 3 or 4 of them with MarMo last year. I wish I didn't have to skip it this time.

TRACK DAY UPDATE!
As of right now (not quite 1:00), I have a few slots open in all groups. We're approaching the maximum number of riders that I like to take, but haven't quite hit it yet. As you can see, the weather is going to be gorgeous. If your your bike needs tires or service, we can get it sorted tomorrow or Saturday. If you need leathers and wear a size 42, I have an extra set you can borrow. If you're worried, go check out Huey's trackday vids on youtube. Sooooo, if you want excuses, I can't help you out. If you want in on the first MarMo trackday of the year, give me a call at the shop (770 425 5252), and we'll get you there. Ride Safe, Ed

Best trackday we've ever had. Perfect weather, completely full but great groups, and only 3-4 small getoffs all day. They were all in Novice, and nobody had any injuries beyond bumps and bruises. Only one guy packed up early because of a crash (at 3 pm). Superfast advanced group; nobody was running slower than 1:02.
3 of the other control riders challenged me to EX250 grudge matches, and I went 3-0, so it was a great one, haha.
