Waldo · 01-20-2010, 09:23 PM

katnip · 01-20-2010, 10:04 PM

Wow, really? First timers only a 100 bones

Yeah, but then its like $200 after that? Idk, someone else here will know. I just watch track day vids on youtube and make loud vrooming noises.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 01-21-2010, 07:01 AM

ill be back by then and should have the bikes done as well, so im in for now.

Depends on the date, but it's usually in that ballpark.

Here's my notes for 2010. I don't make any guarantees about accuracy!

stubby · 01-21-2010, 09:59 AM

Just something to keep in mind seems how most of you won't ride in the rain. We should have another wet spring so the early events might be wet.

HaVocX · 01-21-2010, 10:29 AM

Very interested in doin, still a virgin to the track and the 100 bucks is a great deal for first timers. I got the checklist from stubbs but now i just need to find out who for sure is going cause im more than down...

Do they rent suits? eww or not? might have to try some on somewhere to get the idea...

Utah Sportbike Rentals, the guy is super cool and has really nice siuts and gear to rent.

stubby · 01-21-2010, 10:34 AM

There is a shop at MMP that rents gear. You would want to reserve early though to make sure they have something that fits you. As far as planning, I wouldn't worry about planning something 2 months out. On BRN you will get too many people that say they are going then not purchase track time and back out very close to the track date.

LazyJ · 01-21-2010, 10:43 AM

I'll respond with a; I have not purchased track time therefore I wont get your hopes up that I will be attending.

FuelCell · 01-21-2010, 08:51 PM

$100? Wow. There is an extremely slim chance that I could afford that. I'm not sure my bike would pass tech though since it's missing 80 percent of it's bodywork and the front works don't look... well.

loopy · 01-21-2010, 09:17 PM

well wet dry going or not im in ......... if needed i can help with track day prep
i know this is well in advance but it gives people a chance to save or think about this and adjust there plans to make this event . i will say this being a street rider this experience is second to only sex in my opinion and well worth the bucks !!!! oh and you might want to save an extra $40 to have Jason at corporate suspension work on your bike setup it made a huge difference for me !!! as i understand he is usually there for these events helping people ! just my two cents ......

stubby · 01-21-2010, 09:28 PM

Thats the spirit, but if you think track days are better than sex, wait till you grid up and drag race to turn 1, 4 - 6 bikes wide all battling for the race line. Nothing compares to that

loopy · 01-21-2010, 09:30 PM

oh ya i bet you cant piss over this line lol no i know what ya mean its all perspective man one day i hope to race till then its track days for me !

stubby · 01-21-2010, 09:32 PM

hopefully its soon would be fun to have you out there

Ming · 01-21-2010, 09:34 PM

If I build a r6 trackbike by summer, I'll make at least 2 of these. the free one, and prolly the full. (really wanna ride perimeter, but may not have a bike ready by then...)

BLIZANTHIMUM · 02-16-2010, 07:13 PM

$99 New Track Riders Special

We have a FANTASTIC promotion for first time riders, $99 if it's their first day on a track!

If you have friends that have never been on the track this is a great way to get them out to experience the thrill of closed course riding! We will fit them in a set of leathers for free (based on availability) and provide off/on-track instruction.
Ok... we admit this is like providing your friends with a $99 dose of the most addicting drug out there. But hey, we want everyone to suffer the track withdrawals as you do between fixes!

Fine Print: Offer ONLY valid at 4/17/10 or 10/23/10 events. Riders must be pre-registered, and payment must be received before the scheduled event. Sign up here for a FREE APEXtrackdays Membership (http://www.apextrackdays.com/membership). Then send an email to Clint@APEXtrackdays.com with your Member ID, event date and you will receive a $99 PayPal invoice for registration in the C group.

If you have any other questions, feel free to drop us an email at Info@APEXtrackdays.com or Call us at 801-643-2665.

That would be cool. Anyone car pool to it? I would do it if I could share a ride. Screw the motel i can sleep in a tent. I think I would learn a lot more at a track than carving canyons and trying to learn it on my own.

lots of us go. Sleeping in a tent on hot pavement = no bueno. You want a good night of sleep before hitting the track. There is also a fee for camping at the track.

HaVocX · 02-16-2010, 08:36 PM

Im signing up the moment i get my check on next friday. I will be attending this as my first track day. i hope to have my lines and pads in by then, ive already printed off the checklist from the other idahosportbikes site and am ready to do this.

Anybody thinking about shacking up with sombody to save on a room?

also looking for ride...

lil_schmitty · 02-16-2010, 09:36 PM

Just bought non-refundable plane tickets for that weekend or I would be in... might have to see what the penalty is for changing dates... hmmm

Zed6E · 02-21-2010, 09:54 PM

Loopy I am planning on going down for track day. I will not be riding but taking pictures. If anyone has room for me and my camera gear I would be happy pitch in. Otherwise I will drive my truck down and haul my gear in early that morning.
So who has room for me and:

And before some a$$ says it...NO I AM NOT COMPENSATING
....they are actually quite similar

e11charlie · 02-21-2010, 09:57 PM

I wasnt thinking about compensation I was thinking how ironic to take a picture of a camera.

Zed6E · 02-21-2010, 10:00 PM

Hell...people pay me to take pictures of themselves....You already know you are fat or ugly but expect me to make diamonds from coal...Talk about pressure

Plus I have 3 cameras... or the equivalant of 3 more bikes.

Waldo · 02-22-2010, 02:51 AM

As it stands right now I have two maybe three spots for bikes in the trailer. As for people, the backseat of a 92 F350 extended cab is open. I would say maybe one person could sit back there. It is a little small.
