Title: Not sure what to do....help
Post by: barkley57 on August 29, 2012, 08:59:06 PM
I wanna race this weekend at NJMP but should I go alone?  All my buddies cannot go, wife is working which leaves me driving two hours there to race 8 races with the fear of getting hurt and no one there to help pack my shit up, hospital and or the drive home. 
So, its a risk to take but should I pass and play it cool and save the money and be safe or take the risk and race?  Cause if I do race I'm not going to hold back and take it easy out there because money is on the table this weekend with the ASRA race and its a KTM payout weekend so I gotta be fast as there are many fast guys there who want to win just like I do. 

What would you do?

Im usually by myself racing bikes. Theres always someone at the track that can help if needed. With cars, I have a few people with me, owner and crew.

I've always traveled alone, but I always have friends at the track.  Bob, I'm sure there will be plenty of us that know you that will be there.  I don't think we'd have any problem taking care of everything if needed.  I'll only be there Saturday for a few early races.

I go alone about half the time too. Plenty of people at the track willing to help. Plus worse case your only two hours away from home. Not too far. I usually go like 8 hours lol. If you dont go you'll probably end up regretting it. But you might end up regretting it if you go and crash too haha. So its your call. If it were me I'd go. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice guys.  I might be there but as of now I had a few guys call me today wanting to buy some bikes at my dealership tomorrow and saturday so that could put a wrench in the works. 
If I dont go you guys be safe, race your hearts and hopefully see you soon
