Tim - I dropped my suit off yesterday with Aden... seems like a cool guy. We got into a converstaion about perception, and how evil can creep into the unconverted parts of your mind. Then he gave Zane some candy.
All I've got left to do is change the oil in the bikes, and fit some new rubber on the gixxer. Then its time for some track action. Have you put any thought into the logo for our racing association? ( I hear you may be nominated for the 'prettiest bike' ).

yup, $15, it was 3 seams, fairly easy job. Looks good, can't complain about the price, so I picked up 2L of maple syrup from them as well. Cool old guy, some crazy philosophies though, his wife is a bit more down to earth. Really nice lady, she couldn't figure out what you would use something like a leather suit for.
I bought some kevlar thread to get it fixed, wanted something super strong. Its red, but if anyones in need, let me know. Haven't creash tested it yet, but I couldn't break it with my hands.

Good choice on the class, Dan (that's your name, right?)
Now lets just hope the weather cooperates...
Someone I know mentioned snow this week! Ack!!!

I'll see if I can do that at SMP on May 7th
Any idea what track layout they're using at GB that weekend?

Nope... their website is down today.. called, and they said they're not sure at the moment - guess the day was supposed to be a car lapping day, but got switched.
The office staff is waiting for the owner to get back to them on several points of policy (weather cancellation included).
I really liked the "Long Track without hairpin" that we did last year. The technical track(s) and modified track look decent too, but I really liked that keyhole type section before the runway straight.
I just sent them an email on this with a bunch of questions on cancellation, which has been acknowledged, but haven't received a response on it yet.

Hey- you just park your car/trailer in the pit area. Good to keep everything together. And you'll need to bring gas.
Tim- I'm planning on going too. Haven't registered yet though.

Hiya... just PMing with GS500f (Dan)....
What time is everyone heading out for GB on the 29th?
Smergy's going on the 28th.
So, the list is: Nick_F, Machine, GS500F, Doozer (Maybe), Me.
Trailers - Nick, GS500F, Dave (Maybe)
Guys without rides - Machine
Nick_F looks to be crashing at my place on Saturday night.
If worst comes to worst, I can probably tow a trailer with 2 bikes and put mine in the bed. It's all flat land, so it shouldn't be a problem. If that's OK with Nick and everyone else of course....
Or, if GS500f can share his trailer, then Machine's got a ride...
Meet up in New Hamburg around 6:40am or so?
Oh, and Dan... a full tank should do ya no probs if you don't have a Jerry can.. most speedy guys run with 1/4 tank or so to lighten the load...

Exit off the road to the main entrance (I believe its the last one if your driving north), camping area on your left, at the end you'll be able to turn right. The pit area is fully paved. I don't like the way they did the track entrance, people exiting the track have to slow right down to make the 90 degree track exit, which is right on the line for the first turn of the course, so just make sure you signal early after the "kink", at the DOCC day last year there was a couple hazardous exchanges getting in/off the track while it was hot.
probably heading down there the night of the 27th, got a place to stay about 30 min from the track.
no problem with the trailer if i get one, LOL
I should have one by the track day, and should have my bike in mechanical order by than
