Title: Road America PreReg info
Post by: K3 Chris Onwiler on April 21, 2003, 10:55:46 AM
Preregistration will be at Siebkins Thursday the 24th from 6P.M. to 9P.M.
    If you plan on camping you will need to get your admission registration done then go to the 4-mile Merchant at the track to get your camping registration done. The 4-mile Merchant will be open...
4/24  5-8p.m.
4/25,26,27  10a.m. - 2p.m.

There you go people.  As snipped from the E mail thet Bill Ritger sends out to all the corner workers.  People have been asking about this for weeks, so I thought I'd pass the info along now that I have it.

hmmmm... guess I'll call R.A. today to see if I can pre-order my camping pass.  I don't think I can get to the 4M merchant before 5:00 on Thurs, and am planning on staying...

Thoughts? Suggestions???

If CCS can sell wrist bands, why not camping passes on the evenings???

Okay... so when we arrive in Elkhart Lake on Thursday night, do we need to first go to Siebkins, or can we go to the track first for our camping passes?  I figure we'll be rolling in pretty close to 8 p.m.

Thanks, Dawn - I do, and we will!

More good news (maybe not-so-good news for my friend Rob):  John confirmed that he WILL be able to put "humpty-dumpty" back together again in time for the weekend!   ;D ;D

Gotta love that man!

Kim: Great! Glad to see you'll be out on the TL! I don't think you'd do as well if you borrowed my SV an used it against other HW bikes at RA  :o We're talking 65 HP versus 135! That's a big deal on a track with such long straights. I plan to be there Sunday cheering you all on, and watching the racing line closely.

At the track. ;D


I'm gonna try for near tech like I did 2 yrs ago.:D

Rob:  Which tech area?  

Tom:  I'm not sure.  I'll know more when we get up to Siebkins.  

Nate:  You rock.  That was a most generous offer.

K3/Joe/Dave:  What time are you planning on heading out?

Arrrgh!!!  I just realized that today is Tuesday... My bike is scattered all over the trailer and garage... we need parts (Is a TL rear caliper the same as a Gixxer or Busa?)... I've only ridden RA once before... this will be my very first time racing here... we won't be able to take the afternoon off on Thursday... The generator is stuffed in a corner of the garage, behind six motorcycles (one of which does not have a front end or wheels)... Do we have enough parts to rob from the other bike?  Is five gallons of fuel enough???  I need to be out rounding up bolts and bits but I'm stuck in the office with deadlines looming on projects that I can't even think about... Will it be w*t?  What about my gearing???  I've got bodywork in various states of disrepair drying in my kitchen and living room... Will there be enough time to get through registration and tech and be situated in the paddock and everything and not miss any practices???  

Phew!  Okay... I feel a little better now.

But you were so calm last night. It's ok, your leathers are in one peice. That means they'll let you run on foot around the track if you have to.  ;D Chill, girl, we are Amazon women, it will get done. ;) :D ;D

Kim:

We have come to the track only to finish the bike there.   :o  

So relax, take a deep breath, it will all come together.  

Dawn  ;)

 :D Thanx Kim! The thought process was this: Here's a bike that won't be going to RA this year, and here's a rider who might not be able to go to RA. Why not make them both happy?  ;D   But, The Tiller will fair MUCH better in HWSS there. Have fun, and keep the non-rubber side up. (As i don't think it's the shiny side anymore on your bike.  :P)

I'll see you all on Sunay!   :D
