Who's going to be there the weekend of the 14th?
I guess I will be the 1st to reply...I will be there!!!!!
I'm planning on it. Is this a combined GP & MW event and will there be Dunlop support?

GP only according to the schedule
I am hoping to make it, depends on if I get my clutch together.

"Hello, my name is Rick.........ehhh....screw it.... 8)
Can anyone recommend a local safe/secure/convenient for Friday/Saturday hotel?
Thanks!
Rick,
The clutch keeps blowing because it turns out my push rod is broken. But, you are correct- I do need to get my shit together...in more ways than one.
I will not be there on Saturday, as I have to work. We are having a huge classic car cruise, and I was told I need to work that day.

I usually stay in this area just a few minutes past the track exit on 64 east of 255. http://www.mapquest.com/mq/2-f3U6RewR2YTadhob (http://www.mapquest.com/mq/2-f3U6RewR2YTadhob)
maybe....
i just booked the days inn at pontoon beach. 135 for 2 nights, priceline gives it a 7 out of 10 and its 9 miles from the track
i'm going.
If I can find someone to watch the dogs.
here where i live is a local kennel that boards the dogs till we get back.
I would rather miss a race then have my dogs in kennal all weekend. Love them too much to do that...
Plus, parents only live 30 mins away! Hey mom... :D
Guess if Tornado Bait is going, maybe I can throw my stuff in the trailer when he's not looking & hitch a ride :biggrin:
Feel free to "throw" your stuff in the trailer. ;)
Melissa and I will be there.
Just keep an eye on Tornado Bait. He goes real fast then gets confused, gets dizzy -falls down and you can generally find him cooling off in a shower...

:ahhh: :ass:
Darn, I wont make it... Don't have the money for gateway and HPT. :(
I choose you HPT!
I was thinking about coming out and doing a couple of races this year. But I still don't have my bike running. I just haven't had the time to mess with it. I guess I'll have to find someone to fix it for me. Is there anybody here in the Mid West that wants to work on an Aprilia? Like maybe you Matt?
Leaving tomorrow... hope I like this track.
Me too. leaving 1st thing in the morning and picking my dad up at the airport. he has managed to be able to fly up from florida for my 1st race. which is very important to me for him to be there. im doing the learning curves school saturday and then the race sunday. probably going to take jason's advice and do heavyweight ss and then middleweight ss if i feel comfortable.
I will be there! Only on 1 bike though :wah: Still not sure what's wrong with the kaw.

Bring that down too! After we get the Duc sorted we can get the Kaw up and running.

Best of luck to you! If I can give you a piece of advice for GIR, you can enter T1 WAAAYYYY faster than you will initially think, and carry WAAYY more speed in T8 than you will initially think. Good luck in your first race, bro!
It turns out that I will not be able to make either Saturday or Sunday at this point. Too many financial issues at hand unfortunately.
Ski, I hate hearing that kind of talk about you not racing.
But, what I really hate is the thought of you not being at the track PERIOD!
On top of everything else about having you around it was great knowing you were there to lend a hand at Tech if needed.
Big downside to that is now Speedy will have more opportunity to try and jump in to help - although we may only have to worry about that if there are a bunch of young, female blondes! (Sounds like being female may not make a difference anymore though!)
Hope to see to see you back in some capacity soon Ski!
holy weekend batman! it was phenominal, not only was my father flirting with becka the whole weekend but i started saturday doing the learning curves school all day. each time we went out i dropped a couple seconds off of my lap times. i started with 1:32's and just before the mock race i ended with a 1:20. i won the mock race by about a half lap. didnt have times for the mock race because my timer was on the fritz. sunday i did a back to back hw ss race then mw ss race. i need some more practice before i do a back to back again. my 1st race in HW i finished 4th with a 1:16 fast lap. finished 7th in the mw ss with a fast lap of 1:15. it was an awesome experience. Rick was a big help during tech along with Hall giving me great pointers for the track. everyone i talked to at the track was great. i picked alot of brains and had a blast. cant wait to do it again.
