If anyone wants to go, I will be glad to help in the pits!

Shiiiiiiiiitttttt. I'm going to put this on my calendar. What do you call someone who doesn't want to pit or ride, but just hang out and talk about how he used to ride "back in the day"? Guys, that could be me at VIR.

I dunno. I'd probably call it "An Old Friend That I Miss" or something like that.

BTW, just throwing this out there for you (or anyone else reading this) to ponder. From the N2TD FAQ:

What is the Intro program? Is it held at all events?
N2's Intro program is an exclusive FREE trial class created for the street rider not sure about signing up for a full day of riding. They receive the Beginner classroom session and have access to the track for two 20-minute Beginner riding sessions in the morning rotation. There is no bike preparation requirement; however, participants will be required to pass tech inspection. The Intro class is offered at all events, but is usually limited to five riders each day, depending upon the size of the track. Only one Intro registration/person will be allowed.

The March 29 event is P.R.E. not N2, but there will be plenty of N2 events near you this year and if all goes according to plan, we'll be at all of them.

I just signed up for VIR North! So looking forward to riding it! Anybody want to be my pit crew?

 

[bmart]

Have fun! North isn't my bag, baby.

Jay, and anyone else who may be interested but possibly intimidated, here's a video of an R3 at VIR North. I think you'll agree there's nothing intimidating about a track day!

 

[bmart]

You'll have a blast! The R3 is a capable weapon which you can really exploit in the curvy bits on North.

We rented a garage, and have room for one or two more bikes if anyone else wants to go!

If I were not on call I'd crew for ya. We had a great time at RRR.

And we liked having you guys there. We'll keep posting our dates and any time you want to join us just say the word.

If your still planning on Atlanta, we would love to be there.

I was ok with her being slow on the straights; she's not racing. I hadn't considered the safety aspect though. Liter bikes blasting past her carrying 60+ mph more speed is borderline dangerous.

We should probably both get liter bikes for track days, or a pair of Ninja 400s and then go racing.

edit - and I'm only slightly kidding on both counts.

 

[bmart]

You are a philbert.

An odd person who does crazy things? Guess I can't argue with that.

LOL It is a 1/2 joke. Actually a filbert (but), but growing up it was always spelled with a ph.

 

[2slow]

I thought you were a crazy person that did odd things.

 

[bmart]

Nearly always, if I compare to the folks I share the planet with.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. Two days till we leave for VIR and the cyst is infected again. It goes twenty years without a peep and then BAM tries to ruin every track day.

But this is par for my life. What-fucking-ever. Later guys, I'm off to urgent care.
