Roebling Role Call

[clarustnb]

Ok - I've been sitting here clicking refresh for too long.  Next week can't come soon enough!

This is going to be my first time down to Roebling. From Philly it's going to be a nice and solid 13 hours in the van.  Who else is going to be down there in the LWs with me?  Any important things to keep in mind? I'm planning to bring the SV in the van Friday evening, set up camp and stay there till Sunday afternoon.

Is electric easy to get at?
Any preferred spots for camping?
How are the showers?

I've heard the track is easy to pick up, at least I'm hoping. I couldn't get enough time off to come and practice Friday, so my first time on the bike for the year [since August] will be practice session 1.

Anything else to ask / talk about to pass the time before I get in the car Thursday?

From what I saw, electric was free.  Just a bunch of outlets on wooden posts.  No lock boxes.

Here you go Ben. Some study material but it isn't the same as being on the bike. The track can be deceptive and it is primarily a fast track. The video is of my Ducati 800 which is relatively stock but is considered a SB build due to no airbox.

Camping is almost anywhere you put your tent or camper on the infield in the paddock. Showers are like many campgrounds with hot showers. Electric is not guaranteed so bring your own. I plan to be there in my sporttentz unless my buddy makes it and I room with him.

Cool - thanks for the offers.

Mark - Thanks for the video, I think I ran across your video when I was starting to research.  The wife and I enjoyed sofa racing with it last night.

Thursday can't come soon enough!

Ben it's best to call the track and see how late the gates will be open Friday night. Generally they close at 10pm but sometimes CCS has them keep them open another hour or so. Worst case if you get there after there is a big grass parking lot just outside the gate you can park. Maybe set up a tent if you want until the morning when they open about 7am. Incase you didn't know Nate Kern is hosting a Friday practice day if you want to come a day early and practice. I'll be there for the big bike classes!
