Chuckwalla May 31st
In an effort to keep up with my "one track day a month" goal, I've signed up for a Chuckwalla track day on May 31st with TrackDaz. Really excited to ride on this track as I've heard it's the best track in So Cal. We shall see...
As always, would love to see fellow Ninjette members out there so if you're going, holla! |

Awesome!!! I'll be there. I'm part of Trackdaz staff. Look for a Green and White Ninja 250 that has AP Moto Arts on the side. Race number 312.
I'll be sure to say hi to you as you register and or get your bike tech inspected. Also keep in mind that it's a Beat The Heat Schedule so track goes active at 7am Matt

I go there often enough - hit me up for some tips and Matt (above) for some better ones
Bring more water than you think - freeze the bottles the day before! Plan to chug one bottle every hour or so... it's retarded hot. Also can help to go hop in the showers with your suit on before you ride to help cool you off.

Common... 117 degrees w/ 98% humidity is great riding weather. We skipped the warmers that day and just let the sun heat the tires. lol

If you're riding in that kinda heat, you have to start 2 or so days before hand. You need 3 major things;
Salt - to retain water Water - hydration Potassium - muscle soreness prevention, choose a source, bananas, oj Electrolyte drinks - temp boost of potassium and fluids when tired, choose your favorite source

If Matt isn't teaching in the school I recommend talking to Erwin, though they are all great guys and teachers. Erwin taught me a lot and is very patient - he helped me a great deal when I started out. His enthusiasm is ridiculous!

Luckily, but it did happen a couple times at CVR. The most memorable was when it rained like crazy where it was like an inch of rain on the ground in the pits. Then it stopped and the sun came out in full force. It created so much humidity it was unbearable. You couldn't breathe and everyone was sweating like crazy. It did dry up the track rather quickly. This happened in October 2010.

Sooooo.....I ended up cancelling my Chuckwalla track day
Going to do Big Willow on June 7th instead. I definitely want to do Chuckwalla but perhaps it'd be a better experience once the weather cools down a bit. |
