Who wants to reserver the room(s) for Sunday night? Are we renting a garage or do i need to bring the canopy?

I'm super busy trying to get in a new house. If you or Ming could get the room that would be awesome. We will get a garage for sure.

Are you guys not 100% the 3 bikes will fit?

NO PROBLEM!!! Actually that would have been the perfect time for several people to offer to help. LOL

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes · 08-19-2008, 03:32 PM

I'll get my crutch ready and head right over!

How do you guys afford this crap? I can't even afford to go to Chevron and get a freakin slushy!

It's not that bad. Once you have everything you need you just pay for the trackday, gas, and a hotel. Gas round trip is about $250, Hotel $100, track day around $190. Split that up between a few guys & it might only be $350. There is the cost of tires you'll have to think about soon too.

LazyJ · 08-19-2008, 06:22 PM

just save up a thousand bucks over the winter......then when spring hits....get a hold of the regualar track riders and make sure your bike is up to inspection.........then carpool it.

eat ramon noodles and drink gatorade if you have to.....either way its worth all the cash.

shaner · 08-19-2008, 06:24 PM

Dude my bike doesn't pass inspection to ride on the street. This would require a whole new bike so now it's $10,000 not $1,000.

LazyJ · 08-19-2008, 06:25 PM

you might be surprised on what can get on the track

shaner · 08-19-2008, 06:33 PM

I'd love to do a track day. Maybe next year.

If you start, you won't be able to quit.

and stubby. you want me to book the hotel?
are we doin' 1 room or 2? i never got a final answer.
p.s. can i come pick up your rear stand?
i don't no where you live...

oh. did i see you riding down state st today?
i was with tish.

stubby · 08-20-2008, 01:11 AM

yeah you can pick it up whenever. I wasn't on State today though.

Nobody seems to care if we get one or two rooms - 2 might be better when everyone is getting ready in the morning. If you want to reserve them, then that would be cool. I will send you a PM with my address.

stubby · 08-21-2008, 01:05 AM

Is everyone cool with leaving around noon on Sunday the 31st? I would like to be there early enough to relax and get some sleep before a long trackday and an even longer trip back.

El Rojo · 08-21-2008, 01:30 AM

Is there a fee to watch? Got that monday/tuesday off, been wanting to check out a track day (even if I don't run my bike), thinkin I might cruise down after work Sunday to check it out

No fees to watch. You sign in at the gate and they say you get one spectator per rider but I've never seen them actually checking against a list and never heard of anyone needing to pay.

LazyJ · 08-21-2008, 09:42 AM

Hoz your suppose to say yes there is a fee, you can pay for it in the donations section of this website.

stubby · 08-23-2008, 09:43 PM

Does anybody have a ramp that Ryan, Sarah, Ming and myself could borrow Aug 31st, Sept 1st and return it on Sept 2nd?

The bike is almost ready for MMP. I have to add a GPS toy, and some swingarm sliders, but other than that she is ready to go.

Hozhead · 08-24-2008, 12:06 AM

I'll be heading to Utah on the 29th or 30th with my ramp so if you can get them loaded here, you can use my ramp to unload them and re-load at the track.

Sweet thanks Dave!

Hoard · 08-27-2008, 12:43 PM

I know its late notice and all....
But i think i just decided to go to this track day.
I'm in Twin Falls and wondering if anyone is going that might have an extra spot on a trailer or something?

STUBBY!!!!! Looks like we need to find a way to get that 4th bike in the trailer!

Lay it on it's side in the trailer. That's how I transport mine.

I vote for strapping it to the top of the trailer. Youtube videos show this as a safe method for transporting bikes.

Check the route for any low bridges. Oh, BTW I ain't gonna be the one riding it up the ramp!

stubby · 08-27-2008, 01:33 PM

Ok, you can push it up the ramp then.

Ryan hows the foot and ribs doing?

You were so close to being funny, ah.......um........NOPE you weren't.

Hubbs · 08-27-2008, 01:35 PM

WD, why don't you just borrow the back-hoe, toss the bike in the front loader and put it up there? just put the kickstand down in the bucket and it should work out ok

Feels better and better everyday. I've been off the crutch for a while now. I'm a little worried still that it might be broken, but even if it is, if it's bearable to ride I'll still be going!

I can squat on the balls of my feet already so it's likely going to be ok to ride on it.

stubby · 08-27-2008, 01:53 PM

Well Zara will have 6 hours before and after to massage your foot, so it should be good and relaxed. Glad to hear its healing enough to ride.

Hoard · 08-27-2008, 01:58 PM

So i "might" have found someone to trailer the bike... no guarantee yet so if anyone else has an extra spot.....
If this trailer deal works out I will still end up driving but going to talk my fiance' into letting me take her lil Honda so i don't spend an arm and a leg on gas.

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes · 08-27-2008, 02:37 PM

That's awesome Hoard. I hope something works out to get you out there!

Ryan - where are you guys staying on Sunday night?

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes · 08-27-2008, 02:49 PM

I may not be Casey Stoner but we are staying at a Holiday Inn Express Sunday night! HEHE

In all honesty... not sure yet. I know Eli (Rookie) and a buddy of mine from here both have hotels in Tooele somewhere and from what I gather... I'd probably end up sharing a room with them....
