Title: Track Day, MSR, June 26
Post by: Duc L'Smart on June 23, 2008, 03:42:50 PM
I just signed up... Yeah, I know, it'll be HAWT, but it'll be even hotter in July & August, & I decided I didn't want to wait 3 months for another track day.
This is a private day with Jeff Nash, LOTS of 1 on 1 instruction [thumbsup]

Anyone else? [moto]

just saw Rene and his buddy.  Guess they left a little early, since it was HOT AS HELL out there.  Not much interesting happening in my office, but it was air conditioned and I have an espresso machine there :|

yeah, they couldn't hang with the big boys, so they snuck out early... [laugh]

seriously, it was at least as hot as hell, maybe hotter.

Rene's a good rider. Now we just need to get him on a good bike. Italian, natch [thumbsup]

Fantastic day yesterday.  Body is a little sore, but man I feel refreshed after taking the day off for some good riding.  Threw the knee down yesterday... it feels like a whole new level.   [thumbsup]  It was really nice to come away from the day feeling like I'd accomplished a lot and further improved the skills.  Lots of fun!   [moto]  Can't wait for the next one and thanks to Scott for giving the ride and good company to and from the track.   :)

Scott/Jester I can't believe you guys came all the way to cresson and didn't stop by when you were done for at least a dip in the pool to cool off!!  Scott that is WRONG!!  you know better than that!!  When on the west side , especially the next 8 days stop at LYD's house for a dip in the pool and a drink!!!

I was at cresson the previous weekend with Texas Track Days...  Very few people in each level, which made for a great day with very fast laps (tho I don't have the nifty DDA to say how fast).  Drewcati was there too, which was awesome.
I love that track!

Now, I just have to shop for replacement parts so I can make it to the one with y'all.

Great day at the Track- Great poeple!

It was very nice to meet some new folks.

IronButt 270 (Allen) rode his 900ss to Cresson! I'll let him (ahem) post up & introduce himself [thumbsup]

Gus, What's up with Drew? Man we never hear from him or see him anymore. Kinda miss the dude, damn nice guy... beautiful 998. Last time I even saw him was the 1098 release party at D/AMS and that was in Dec. 2006!! Wonder if his buddy that night ever got married and got a 675 Triumph? Well, I hope he at least got the 675!!!

That looks like so much fun! I just registered for a RideSmart trackday at Eagle Canyon for July 19th. Only $100.00 :) I'm so excited since this will be my first one. Anyone else want to go? I could use a trailor.  [moto]

I'd love to buy it Scott, but I don't have anywhere to put it. Besides, I don't have a tow hitch on the sexy Minivan.  ;D

I had a very sexy Grand Caravan for years, which uhaul was kind enough to put a hitch on, with which I towed a motorcycle on manny occasions...

I could also make you a good deal on storage space  ;D ;D ;D

Well, Me thinks the wifey would prefer we get the new house first before I indulge in more toy accessories. But if it doesn't sell when I get the new house, I'll definately check it out. We've been looking for a new house for about a year now. Nothing to our liking yet.
