wow no one has replied? [coffee]
Dude, Austin has a track day @ HHR the same day.......
I'm going, so I'll smile long distance just for you.....
I would, but 1) I don't have leather pants yet ... and 2) no way I can get my bike track ready in time the way my work schedule has been.
I actually still need to pick up a few things and return stuff (whack speakers, etc.) from my party! Thanks to all who turned out, btw!

Not to worry I got you covered. I still have Don Vinuccis' first track outfit that includes a built-in back protector.

No but really, the track outfit should have some leathers you can rent. Prepping the bike for a track day is simple, tape up the lights and WA-LA, done! [moto]
count me in ;D
Damon/Ducatibilt, are you finished with writing that english-vinucci translation dictionary yet? Because it would certainly come in handy right about now...
For the local (Houston) newbies who are interested in doing trackdays, the most convenient upcoming dates are:
08/02 and 08/03 (Sat. & Sun.) - Motorsport Ranch-Houston in Angleton, TX
09/13 (Sat.) - Motorsport Ranch-Houston
09/13 and 09/14 (Sat. & Sun.) - Grand Sport Speedway in Hitchcock, TX
The 09/13 date at MSR-Houston is a "noob"-only trackday, for beginners and anyone who hasn't done a trackday. Cost is $180, and is held by Buck Beasley's Longhorn Track School.
The other dates are with another track outfit that will have a separate "beginners" level. And as Vince mentioned, the price has been known to "fluctuate" as the date draws closer (usually in the attendee's favor).
In the spirit of things, I will match Vinucci's offer in a way. I will donate $50 separately to two individuals ($100 total) for the August date. If there are no takers for August, I will push it to September's dates if it's more convenient. I will also donate my time and truck/trailer in order to prep your bike and get it to the track, if necessary.
What do I get out it? The same thing that Vince mentioned, to see someone else have as much fun as I do out on the track.
Can I get a rain check redemable in 2010?
I love having sponser's! Put me down as a most definite maybe. Need a new front tire and I need to figure something out for leathers. How would I look in my old cordura kart racing suit?
Sorry Vince but Frank gets prime logo placement since he donated the larger amount.

Awesome! Put me down on one. [moto]
I'll do it, but the only thing is that i don't think my bike will be up and running considering the ceramic coating stuff...
should I just take the 748 headers off to ceramic coating then so the monster is still ready for track day?
GOOD TIMES

hmmm, well, guess the monster can always get it done later... alright, let's do it. I don't need the cash incentives, BUT if any of you who will be out there can provide some shade and cooler space for drinks and stuff, that'd be great. If anyone's trucking it down, it'd be nice to be able to bring my tools to your place the night before so I can have them with me at the track...
I'm so down for this it's not even funny...
so yeah I got rather excited about the opportunity, but Vince and Frank your willingness to help is uber cool and I thank you [thumbsup]
right now I am hating the fact that I can't make the track day next weekend...

F that. "Can't" is not in our vocabulary.

Frank, Vinnuci, yeah THANKS for planting the seeds here. I'm in and a bit nervous not having ridden on the track before [moto]
Boys and girls, let the group therapy begin! There's no going back once you take a hit from the track pipe!!
Oh, Vinny, you are such the temptress [thumbsup]
How'd it go? Hot enough for you?? Hurricane??
September sounds more doable... and it WOULD be my 1st time (at MSR Houston) ;D
