Gingerman Roll Call....

[Protein Filled]

Hey Stumpy and Don,

Big change of plans. Me and Tommy will be leaving Thursday, so we should be there by Thursday evening/Friday morning at the latest, so if you need Michelin's...

Yeah, a track walk sounds good to me. I hope I remember my way around even though I have been there a few times before. I hope your elbow is OK by then. If not, we can have K3 suck all the puss out. He is good about that.

 ;D

Ok, the Kawa won't be ready by this weekend but the "back-up" bike my Triumph Speed Four is undergoing a transformation into race bike for this weekend.  Yeah, this s/b fun.  I'll see you guys Saturday morning.  I just demo'd the new Rocket III today and I wish I had 147 lb ft of Torque in my Triumph!

Edgar,
That's probably a good idea.  You'll like the Thursday traffic a lot better than Friday afternoon.
Assuming my leathers arrive Thursday, I'll be up there Friday. That's all up to UPS.
Sorry to hear about the elbow Stumpy. You sure it's not a rug burn? :o ;D

I'm going back to the Doc about my Elbow. I wore through my suit at BHF and ground down my elbow and chipped the bone :-/
Getting infected I think...Big bag of something hanging from it...We'll see you there Friday :)(hopefully with both arms)

Stumpy,

Did that happen when you went down in Turn 1 at Blackhawk in the money race?   I was working that corner on Sunday and it seemed like you were back on your feet and trying to pick up the bike pretty quickly.  Saw you throwing your arm around but thought it was just that you were PO'd about going down.
Hope you make it back quickly!

Yes, it's from that fall. It was gouged pretty good.  He went to the med shed after the festivities and they cleaned it out.  Then he went to the Dr Monday at home and they cleaned more gravel out and treated it for infection.  He didn't need stiches but he may need to have the chips floating around taken care of--contrary to his belief.  

I was at that corner, too, and I think he was flailing about because he was mad.  *I* was flailing about because I was mad!  ;D

The Joe Rocket leather has been officially retired.  It was a good sport--but it didn't go down too much so maybe that helped.  One more time and Stumpy's butt would have been on display.

On a Gingerman related note, is there electric and is there any thing funny I need to know about the showers (i.e. Which one will shock me?  Do I need quarters?)?

Heather

If I remember the last time we were there they wanted an ungodly amount for the electrical hookup so we ran our generator.

Showers are free and non shock you.  (Unisex like MAM).

OH NO!! :o

Guess your house is like my house - 'Ain't nobody happy when Momma ain't happy!'  

On the showers at Gingermann....  I think they made some improvements to the restrooms since I was there last October - don't know if that includes the showers.  As I remember from last year the 'quality' of the showers was somewhere between MAM and Blackhawk.  Maybe closer to the MAM level.  And I'm not sure if there was a charge for using them.  One 'charge' you won't have to worry about is the 'Blackhawk Wakeup Stinger!'   ;D

Hopefully, someone else has been there this season for a track day and can fill in the gaps!

G-Man had some of the best bathrooms of any track in the MW.  Improvements?!?  Wow...  The Irwins need to follow suit.....

Showers are unisex, private & FREE
Bathrooms have running water, real urinals & aren't clogged.

BHF is like the Abu Ghriab(sp?) of club racing...  but hey, if I had my choice between great surface & track or great facilities, I'd go with the track...

[StumpysWife]

Thanks, guys. I just want to make sure I know what I'm in for  ;).


Although by traveling with Stumpy and Johnson, I never know what I'm in for...or where I'll end up if I don't pay attention to road signs!

Gingerman is a really hard track 2 figure out, best 2 follow somebody that knows the track 4 a bunch of laps.  My 1st time there I hated the track so much I wanted 2 go home.......its now my favorite track, we'll b there friday nite. BTW showers there are great.

[motomadness]

You mean you are going to use the showers in the rig?
