Man, I was slow back then... mind you that was on unheated DOTs and it was cold that day... I remember freezing by the time I got to the end of the back straight that morning.

I didn't like being in that group, but I don't have a club card ;)

It was stupid cold that weekend, I slept overnight in my truck with intermittent heat-starts in the middle of the night. It was showing +15 that weekend until 2 days before when it dropped to like +2 to +5 lol. Never again will I do an April track day/weekend.

I'll come to one of these days, if not both.

Same here. That was my 3rd track day on the SV I think. First time back at SMP in 3 years (of not riding).
 
Like WTF??? lol

That is just crazy!

It's one thing to miss the rider's meeting, but it's another when you're there and not paying attention.

Ken was on it right away, red flagged the session and gave everyone a one-on-one explanation and brought out the controlled rider to clarify everything.
 
Worse part of that was it was gone over at the riders meeting that we would be doing half day on each config then switching at lunch. It happened a few times. It was also announced at lunch numerous times. Love the excuses.

Me: Why did you turn left at first access road?
Rider: It wasnt marked!
Me: You mean those cones? (me pointing at cones)
Rider: They wernt there ?
Me: So you think I ran out while you were coming in a put them there? I PUT THEM OUT MYSELF at lunch. Best part is you did three laps the right way THEN you turned left.
Rider: Sorry

Best part i this wasnt one of the trackday guys it was one of our rookie racers.
 
Well, I thought I would jump in at this point to provide updated maps of all the layouts available at GBM...

I have set The Modified track on Harry's Laptimer and sent it for certification.

If anyone is planning to attend and uses this App, you are welcome. I will set the other configurations eventually but i will ensure whatever Paul is running is set before the track day.

I guess because the track is fairly new, it was not yet set.

If you don't know what I am talking about then don't worry about it ;)
 
Is reverse alien in there already?
Grand Bend didn't even exist until I entered modified last night, so the answer is nope

I will enter it once Paul gets off his *** and decides which configuration he is running for both days ;) must be all those burgers I saw him inhale this past weekend

Is it called "screaming alien" when looking for track maps?
 
Here is a map I got from another thread:
