May have to pay for this one if I get my bike ready in time.  ??? tires, suspension setup, etc...  :-\ All the newbie stuff I have to worry about.

$150. pretty cheap... Can you save your cornerworking chit for a "private" day?

Will you be riding "Novice"? If so, don't sweat the tires, suspension setup, etc...

+1 on the price (cheapo fun)

I'm thinking the same. Save the 'credit' private day with AMS and pay for this one. Good plan I think. Novie to start the day with, intermediate by days end.

Sorry to say it's going to be at the expense of THC !!  ???  :P  :-[ So, there it is, i'm out of the HC weekend in favor of better riding skills. " I need skills" - Napolean Dynamite

Speaking selfishly though if I may, I secretly want to tail Sir L' Blur, T&B, Bryant848, McKraut, CJ, Kev and the rest around the track and actually be good doing it. Jeff assured me that he can teach me that. !! WooHoo!!  [thumbsup]

99 44/100% in.  How else can learn to ride curves sans whiteknuckle.  I progressed so much from ground zero Sat. that I had better go (hopefully not such a crowded track). [moto] [thumbsup]

Weather is really the only thing that would keep me at home. I do not get on the track when it is wet or too cold. Call me a wimp, but it really isn't fun without grip. The dust out there is bad enough  [bang]

I have an invention that is going to sell (I hope) that is related to this comment that I'm developing that might interest you.

And next, I suppose you're going to tell me that that Yellow triple 9 with the excellent rider in position in the corner at the apex is someone you know??? HA...yeah right. Well good try but I know someone who has a yellow...., eh, triple ...9......er,   uh.... :-[ I'm gonna go now.

Great pic Lisa!
I'm doubtful for Nov. 24th track day but I'm going to encourage Jim to catch this one - if so I'll cornerwork and take pics  ;)

I don't think I can make this one, I think RichD already has a vac. day. We are short on help right now. I'm thinking about cutting a hole in the fence, and gettin in a little night track time.  [moto]
