OK, I've decided to go with Dunlops. Now, I want to be prepared when I come to the track on that first Friday. So, I can either buy tires now, and spend an extra $35 to have them shipped and mounted, or I can buy them at the track that friday morning, but then that means I have work to do on the bike before I even hit the track.
How hectic will the Dunlop guys be that Friday morning right at 7? I want to get as much track time as possible, but I'd also like to save the $. So, what does everyone think? Should I buy at the track, and take care of the swap then, or come with the bike TOTALLY ready to go, so that there's a LOT less for me to worry about, and so I KNOW that everything's done RIGHT, as far as the bike goes.
Suggestions? If it means a LOT easier morning, or getting out of a 1/2 hour wait in line, I'll pay the $35 and get them now. But, if it's gonna be probably just a few people, and won't take too long, I'll save the $.
Just looking for input and suggestions.
Thoughts?
Nate, Andy (the dunlop guy) won't be there at 7:00am on Friday. He probably won't show until that afternoon.
Don't blow a ton of cash on shipping, I'm going to be making a trip to MD Racing here pretty soon and can bring you back some 208's.
As for working on your bike before the weekend, get used to it.
If I pick you up tires, I can help you mount and balance them too...
Relax, it all comes together when the flag drops. Before then, all bets are off! (you aren't a racer if you can't push out a #2 in full leathers between first and third call).
Thanx Jeff! I'll contact you by e-mail about details.

And YES this will happen to you!! Probably more than once. :)

;D ;D ;D OMG!! That was hilarious
Don't forget the ability to throw up and get on the bike either! ;)

I felt like I had finally arrived when I barfed in my helmet during a race. Lets hear it for light lunches from now on! :o

LOL, I haven't experienced that one yet.
I still have this "I gotta pee AGAIN" thing happening after every 1st and 2nd call for my races.
ROFLMOO!!
Until they can put a drop-seat-flap in 1-piece leathers, I don't wanna hear about how you GUYS gotta PEE between 1st-2nd call. ;)
Don't worry... You get over it over time... It does take a few years though. ;D
When I wrestled in HS for a well regarded ranked program that drew a few hundred to a few thousand for dual meets, I used to get those nerves in hyperdrive. All alone, in the middle of the mat with all eyes on you in a tight little (add your adjective here) singlet, with an introduction that would make the Chicago Bulls Jordan era introductions proud. Heady stuff for a teenager.
Now, they are still there pre-race, but not like then. I think it's like S_D said...after awhile they come under control :)
