I'm.............NOT going.  Still afraid of Doctors and recovery times after my bum ankle, scared for life.

That sort of thing does leave a mark... as it were  [bang]  But I'm going anyway because...

I don't why.  Can't help myself  [roll]

You should come.  Probably safer than racing minibikes as there is no need to push for the win at a track day.

Hmm, we could hold the minibike race between sessions, they have a lot of land out there to play in  [evil]

Yeah, a WSBK Duc Tee would be awesome!  A medium Men's or Women's large... Or, just whatever they've got  [laugh]

See you at the track  [thumbsup]


Chances of getting a Ducati t-shirt are not looking good.  They have zero presence at the races.  Every other manufacturer are selling shirts.  I will keep an eye out for one tomorrow.

I'm almost ready, waiting on tires to get mounted, oil change and brake bleed.  My mechanic is slow and drinks too much  [beer]

I'll be there riding the Yellow SuperSport.   [Dolph]

I'm still up in the air about the between-session-entertainment:

Bring Duke?   or the GROM..?

???

DFW-MFer!

webspoke

That's a tough choice, we all love Duke, but everyone will want to try the Grom  [evil]

What time is everyone getting out there tomorrow?  I am going to shoot for an 8 AM arrival.  Are you guys pitting underneath the cover at the end of the garages or out in the parking lot?

Holler if you need me to bring anything.  I will bring waters and Powerade Zeros.

Looking forward to everyone blowing by me as I act like a moving chicane.

See you guys tomorrow. [thumbsup]

I will be there 8:30-9. It would be cool if we can all get under the awning.

Well, hell.  Woke up feeling like the flu.  Back to bed.  

Y'all have fun today.  And pictures or it didn't happen  ;D

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well Lisa.  Hope you get to feeling better soon.  It was an okay track day.  Webspoke and RichD showed up.  His Grom is a pretty cool bike!

The first session was cool so it was very slick!  If I can feel the bike sliding around, then I can't imagine how it felt for the fast guys.

The second session was action packed.  RichD had some adventures and other guy waded up his Panigale and shut the track down for a half hour while an ambulance came to pick him up.

Lunch and then one more session at 2 PM and I headed home.

I think I am going to try out a RideSmart trackday.  AMS puts on a great event and are extremely hospitable but my abilities and endurance don't match up well with the schedule.  I am typically getting tired after about 20 minutes on the track so I miss out on the last 10 minutes of the sessions.  Then you have to wait another hour before going back out.   I like the idea of being able to get out on the track 20 minutes every hour with riders of comparable skills (beginner, novice, advanced groups).

Don't know if I will do another trackday before next spring, but I will post up if I decide to.
