ally99 · August 30th, 2014, 04:12 AM

Anyone interested in riding Jennings with me on my birthday weekend, Nov 8 - 10?

geeker · August 30th, 2014, 07:05 AM

If I wasn't already committed to Barber in September and Cresson in November, I'd try to make it work. But my wife says no more this year.

Floki · August 30th, 2014, 07:09 AM

Do they allow textile overpants and a mesh jacket or do I need to buy a leather suit?

ally99 · August 30th, 2014, 09:24 AM

Leather is required for most tracks that I know of.

Jennings rents leathers

Floki · August 30th, 2014, 03:58 PM

I have justified buying a leather suit. Any recommendations on whether to buy two piece/one piece and entry level suits?

I will also be attending that weekend. I've never met any people from this forum so it should be fun. I also never had the chance to take the 2fiddy to the track so this should be interesting...

csmith12 · August 30th, 2014, 05:42 PM

Hmmmmm......

Sirref · August 31st, 2014, 02:09 AM

I'll be looking up my exam schedule across the next week and get back to you on that. If it's within 2 weeks of an exam then it's a no-go if it's not then I'm there. I was already planning to go to a jennings track day so the budget is already there though I had been assuming the next ninjette one (I like track days w/ppl from the forum) would be in feb

I'm looking at $325 for all 3 days is that correct or am I missing other various fees?
also, I love the idea of a mid-winter 3 day track event where it's warm, day 1: learn the track then day2: work on skills day 3: work on other skills then set a solid quick lap and get some knee on the ground

Well hell yeah! Fun! I, personally, love my 2-piece suit b/c I can easily shed the jacket between sessions. It also makes it a bit simpler to pee. But others would prefer their one-piece I hear, so it's all about personal preference.

Jennings is nice and cheap. The only additional fee is a $10 gate fee per person. Camping is free...i think electric is too??? I'd only ride two of the 3 days, depending on work. I'll either ride Sat and Sun (most likely) or Sun and Mon (preferable), but again, work.

Sirref · August 31st, 2014, 05:30 AM

Considering the drive I'd prob ride sat/sun and skip class on mon to drive back

Lemme see what I can do. My biggest issue is my kids will be in school and I will have to see how to arrange the family's schedule.

ally99 · September 2nd, 2014, 05:05 PM

Yeah!

Let me know! I'll probably only be able to ride Sat/Sun, leaving a bit early on Sunday for an early Monday morning at work.

alex.s · September 2nd, 2014, 06:25 PM

man would it be fun to go back to jennings!

Foxrider64 · September 4th, 2014, 01:21 PM

I haven't even read all the posts yet- but I WANNA GO!!!!

My October race was canceled at Jennings due to noise complaints. And I will not be able to attend the October race of Champions at Daytona. And I will likely miss the last race of the year because of my anniversary.

THIS ALL POINTS TO YES!!

Prices are rising in 2015 for the first time in many years

Camping is free. We usually have beer, good stories, and a track walk after the sun goes down.

Electric is free for 110v power supplies. Blow a fuse and you will be an instant enemy. There are power hook ups for RV's and full rigs, but they are not free.

3 days of riding is hard to do- waking up for work Monday morning is very hard to do.

Man I miss JGP

Foxrider64 · September 4th, 2014, 01:28 PM

And Sunday the 9th is a Mock Race day.

We can be the 250 sandbaggers

csmith12 · September 4th, 2014, 01:29 PM

Tip: When you plug in your cord to the power pole, tie the cord around the pole first... then plug it it. So many times we tripped over them and it would come unplugged.

I saw a kid get clotheslined by a cord that was pulled tight to someone's trailer.

Didn't come unplugged but the kid got laid out.

i can still hear those same 3 songs that kept repeating over and over again because the cord kept coming out... glitch mob "we can make the world stop" was one of them.

The after-party is almost as much fun as the day itself at the track. Good beer for damn sure!

Foxrider64 · September 5th, 2014, 06:49 AM

Well the wife didn't say no

I'm shooting for Saturday and Sunday. I'd arrive Friday night and camp- hopefully within the gates.

When will you all know for sure if you're going?

csmith12 · September 5th, 2014, 08:30 AM

I will be a late entry at best, my schedule is still iffy.

I'm pretty damn sure I'm going, probably arriving Friday. I won't sign up for sure until a couple of weeks out when I know how finances stand. I'll stay in a hotel because I don't have a tent. I may end up riding all the way there and back too. I don't much trust my trailer (or myself to tie it down right.

)

I'll figure out a way to get there and back. I'd still love for you to come!

Edit: Have you reached your goal of 1000 hands shaken? If not, consider the trip as a way to help reach your quota!

Well, well... lets talk about some cinnamon rolls.

Have I reached my goal? Nope, making great progress but still working on it.

If you come to Jennings, I'll assist you in your endeavor. We can shake hands with everyone out there.

No pressure. I'm teasing you, though it would be so much fun to track mingle together again!

nickjpass · September 6th, 2014, 10:05 AM

Get my bike there and you have a deal !!!

Sirref · September 6th, 2014, 11:59 AM

alright it's looking unlikely based on the timing of exams being the following week but I still want to do it so I'll know closer to the date whether I'll be able to pull it off or not, depends entirely on how I do on the first round of exams/projects and how comfortable I am with the material heading into the second round a week later. School is the priority but I love riding so there is a conflict there

csmith12 · September 8th, 2014, 08:20 PM

@ally99, better check up on Jennings, I was told today it was closed until they work out their noise level issues.

Who told you that? To my knowledge the noise issue was only effecting race orgs.

They did have to lower the maximum dB.

Wut? I hope not! So far it's still listed on the calendar...

csmith12 · September 9th, 2014, 04:40 PM

Yea, my bad... it was rumors from my track travels. Races are up in the air but track days are on. I called and confirmed, and hoping to make the trip.

Holy ****, for real?!?! That news just MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited, Chris!

csmith12 · September 9th, 2014, 05:03 PM

For realz! The chatter around the dinner table right now is to drop the wife off in Jacksonville and head over for the days while she soaks up some sun. Or.... she comes and provides pit crew support/umbrella girl duties. lol And then, I owe her 3 days at the beach r&r. I am leaning for her to come and enjoy the track time/paddock party.

Floki · September 9th, 2014, 05:19 PM

Do you think an RA with two brothers exhaust and no cat mid pipe will pass noise inspection?

csmith12 · September 9th, 2014, 05:32 PM

I dunno their new rules. 103db (if I remember right), was their rules as of Feb. Best call and check.
