Friday (Thursday) Practices?

[gpz11]

OK, I know at Blackhawk, they always have a Friday Pratice. Will Heartland Park or Road America have a Thursday practice? Just trying to plan ahead.

Thanks!

Heartland has one on Thursday that the track is putting on. NESBA will have trackdays Wed. and Thur before RA.

I put a link in the calender of events section of the forum for the practices at Heartland Park and Blackhawk Farms.  You save money by buying it online before you get there.

Thanks for the reply! Ouch, that's an expensive practice but it is RA.

[gpz11]

Cool, found it for HPT. Thanks Dave!

You'll have to have a membership fee for NESBA too, I believe.

[gpz11]

Yup, already have that. Actually headed for Road Atlanta to play over Easter. We invited Scotty but his free time is non existant.

You'll have to have a membership fee for NESBA too, I believe.

[Super Dave]

Yeah, I understand that myself too...LOL!

You maybe able to sweet talk someone at NESBA for a one day event thing. It will cost acouple dollars. I feel that CCS should work something out with them for one of the dates. It's not like they don't do this to us every year.

Last year Sportbike Track Time let you ride the events before a race weekend with out buying a membership and the day did not cost anymore.

I guess it all comes down to perspective.  Back in the day -Super Dave will confirm this – there was no opportunity to get on the track at Road America on a motorcycle outside of the CCS-Formula USA-NASBA or the AMA race weekends.  The option simply did not exist.  No other organization existed or took the time to bother to rent RA.

I guess I can't comprehend how NESBA can be held accountable or looked upon in a negative manner with regards to scheduling a track day at Road America. 

One other note is that NESBA is a non for profit organization.  NO ONE  GETS PAID OR DRAWS A SALARY FROM NESBA........  I, myself do this on a 100% volunteer basis like everyone else.    I do not get compensated for any of my time just like anyone else involved with NESBA.  I do it for the utter love of the sport.   I even purchased and paid for (even though NESBA has partners) several sets of my brake pads, several sets of tires, body work etc out of my own pocket like the rest of the NESBA "people". 

Crap, I have MY OWN 1998 GMC van (it is even green) with 212,000 miles on it with a $6,000 trailer.   What do the other orgs use for track vehicles???????

What more do you want?
