I saw that thread...I know I'm not likely to profit from this - not even close - especially since I have to head out there Friday night and stay at a hotel (me and tents don't get along lol)...just thought I'd poll the riders to see if I can get an idea.
Is TMP doing the tech for the day, or is someone from GTAM doing it?
If TMP is running it, be ready for extended delays in the morning.
Both times I've been there at TMP days (not run by Racer 5 or GWB etc) the tech didn't start till about 8:45am, and didn't finish till at least 9:30.
First time: Everyone in my group (5 of us) was told to tighten their chain and come back for re-tech.
No probs. Did it, got re-teched and passed.
Second time: told to tighten the chain again, even though I hadn't changed it from the last time.
The guys from Pro6 (Sandy - very thorough inspection) passed my chain the way it was before the first time at TMP. So, I'm not exactly sure what the problem was...
Is there anyone at the track that can usually help with a loose chain I don't have a torque wrench.
I don't even need Paul to answer this for himself, because I know the answer. This is a GTAM day. It is GTAM running it. Not TMP, not GWB, not Racer 5, not anyone else. GTAM does their own tech.
I know that at the last GTAM day (at Grand Bend), it started late ... but given that the track was soaking wet from overnight rain, no one was in any great rush to get going anyhow.
If nobody else had a problem with it, I doubt GTAM will either.Is there anyone at the track that can usually help with a loose chain I don't have a torque wrench.
My chain isn't that loose I'm a big guy 265lb and that chain tightens lol when I **** on it. I have the bike setup for my weight and I have never had trouble with riders choice, golo, or fast trackdays. I have never really done one with TMP and I don't want to tow bike all the way there and not pass tech.
Weather looks good... I may bring out the SXV for a laugh.
I just hope I remember how to ride :-(
Where have you been?!?!?!

Busy as hell... Decided to take a small break and see where things end up. (like Constanza, "out on a high note")
Miss it, but not as much as I thought I would. Sat should be fun, no goals, no pressure, just have some fun.
