No bathrooms at Blackhawk...

[spyderchick]

You know what? BFR is never going to be Road America, Miller Motorsports Park or VIR. What it can continue to be is a relatively affordable place for all sorts of racing and track events. I remember the all the safety concerns over the years, and one by one they always seem to get addressed. Sometimes even before a tragedy.

Yes, the place could be a country club, but do you want to pay country club fees? Good, Then go race at Autobahn.
























oh, that's right, we no longer race there


PS: Pardon my bitchiness, but I'm tired of negativity. Let's make 2008 a positive year!

Since we're bitching about BHF, here's mine...    The racing surface is too damn hard!  I shit you not, everytime I crash it grinds down my pegs, my frame sliders, cracks breaks or marrs up my bodywork!  Hell it's even broken both my collarbones!   

It'll be nice to see the improvments there.

I'm so glad BHF is in my backyard. If I lived near a track like Gateway I probably wouldn't being doing much racing close to home. That track just plain sucks!  I'm sure there are some people who like it but to me it is not even close to being suitable for racing motorcycles.

I like BHF AND Gateway! :)

BHF is a great affordable track. And if you don't like the bathrooms, just drive your own there! (we do)
Just stop by Buell Alley, we have lots of fun out there every race weekend! In tents, trailers, and r/v's.
And yes Alexa lets make 08 a positive year!
Did they add more power for us there Dave?

So we can use your bathroom then?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe BHF started life out as a private club.....We should all be so lucky to grace its beauty!

Racetracks in general have primitive accomodations.  Trees and guardrails get closer to the track with every new model year.  Road America has changed so drastically in the 40 years I've been going there that you wouldn't think it was the same place.  Getting chased out of Barber or Daytona at night when you'd rather camp makes you appreciate tracks like Blackhawk.

The Polo Club proably has nicer facilities but I wouldn't know.  Those aren't the kind of horses I ride.

I DO Love that track.....Love the layout & the scenery and all that.....I'm  glad they are fixing the bathrooms however...I drag raced cars for a long while so Im no stranger to bad bathrooms...So bitchin aside, I think we would all enjoy a cleaner place to crap, clean up, etc.
See you there!

PREACH ON BROTHER....that damn T7 broke my collarbone too!





no matter how bad it is, BHF feels like home 

[spyderchick]

I think one of the most positive things about BFR is that it's a good social track. You don't have to walk a half a mile to someone else's' pits like at Road A. You can walk to most corners for viewing as well. Tighter tracks are nice like that.


See? Don't y'all feel all warm and fuzzy now?

[Super Dave]

What if I feel that way all the time?
