Well, the weather is cooperating (forecast is high of 66 for both days) and I have a free weekend so I'm planning to be at ECR on both Saturday and Sunday next weekend.
Anyone interested in joining me? Guest fee is $150/day. Please let me know. You can join me for Sat or Sunday or both.
Also, I have signed up Ty Howard for a private instruction day on Saturday. We have 2 people but would work ok with 1-2 more. I will post up details on cost per person. It's around $300 (including the track day fee so that's total for the day) if we get 1-2 more.
I'm planning on bringing the SV and the Duc and I'm looking forward to a great weekend of riding. Might even have to bring extra kneepucks!
Let me know if you're interested in either!
Damn Carlo, I am so jealous! I have my kids that weekend, but have been craving a track day since I bought the R6. I really would love to join you on a Sunday that's a member day. Just not this one, or Valentines weekend :-\ After that, I will make room in my schedule! Clue me in if you have any coming up in late Feb or early March [thumbsup] Really want a trackday to kinda run my own pace and learn my new bike.
Thanks
There'll be others! I will also be doing a Lone Star Track Day event on Friday, 3/13 at ECR. Keeping an eye out for any Ducati track days, but I haven't any seen any published on the AMS website.
I envy your track budget... I SOOOOOO Wish i could go this Saturday. Maybe I'll stop by to say hi and be jealous of your track time
Ok. Forecast for Saturday is high of 69 (low of 52) so it should be a good day since it will be sunny. Sunday will be high of 70 with 30% of a few showers. I am planning to be there both days, probably showing up around 10-11am on Saturday and a little earlier on Sunday (9-10am).
Offer still stands to those who want to come as guests. I don't expect more than 10-12 bikes (on a 2.5 mile track so we'll have plenty of room)...
i'd blow the cash for the day on saturday if i thought i could get out of my baby daddy duties for the day... I'll still stop by and say hi though
Anyone can come?
Carlo, I'll have to take you up on one of these weekends once I get a calmer schedule and a track scoot to play on [thumbsup]

Yeah they let anyone come on out to watch... but if you wanna ride the track its 150 bucks and you have to kiss Carlo's ass for a month since he's the track member

I'd figured it was something like that. I'm actually pretty interested. I just bought a new suit and I'm itching to take it to the track.
wear it a while first... many say that a new suit at the track is bad luck

Must have previous track experience - forgot to mention that. This is completely unstructured and is a member day. Bike must be in good shape but is self-tech. If interested, let me know and you can come as my guest.

It took over a dozen track days before my new suit had any sort of unplanned track contact...you'll be fine but if it's your first time, I suggest you do a school first where they have instruction and have more structure/guidance.

Great! Then come join me on either day. Picked up a little flu-type bug this afternoon but I hope to be over it by Saturday afternoon. I'm planning on being there later on Saturday (if you want to go earlier I'll just let them know and I have several friends also going early and you can join up with them) and Sunday if all goes to plan. 4 of us are taking lessons w/ Ty on Saturday.

I'd be able to go next weekend. If I skimp out on Desmolu's birthday to go play at the track there is going to be hell to pay.
Carlo,
What time you planning to arrive this Saturday. I'll be out riding around and plan on stopping by
I'd like to get in on one of these sometime soon

I ended up sick with the flu that weekend....and missed everything. Trying to make up on the 20th and 27th. I put up a separate thread.
