This morning I was speaking with Rob Burch who owns Motofit Group about his first track event at the new Ridge Motorsports Park near Seattle.
It is going to be the weekend of May 5th & 6th......rain or shine.
There will be camping at the track....at this point he is not sure if there is going to be any additional charge from the track owners or not for camping. As a guide it is free at ORP.
He told me that he is going to limit the number of total participants at 100.....more or less 33 people in each of 3 groups (slow, medium, fast).
He opened up the bookings last week and already has more than 10 people registered and said he was kind of surprised by the quick response.
He told me that if we, as a group, were to register with more than 10 of us that we would get a small discount. I am going to try and co-ordinate this for everyone's benefit so if you are interested in going down please send me a PM and let me know.
I have just posted this on the WMRC site as well so any racers looking at this ad....you will see it there as well....send me a PM from either site.
You loan me one of your eight track bikes, and I'm in! :cheers
Actually, with a sale pending on my speedy, I might have a new race bike soon. So count me in!
Alright....let me know once you firm something up. At this point it is pretty much each to their own for transport. I will be either driving down in my truck by myself or towing someone else's trailer with both of our bikes.....either way I don't think I will have any space.
I am hoping to get this organized within the next few weeks before they get too many bookings so that we can all get in the groups we want.
At the moment I only have the 2 race bikes......both of which are listed on BCSB for sale
I am going to build the GSXR 1000 into a track bike because I don't really want to ride it on the street any more for fear of impounds, etc. That bike already has full Ohlins (cartridges, shock and damper), Brembo master and rotors, tapered head bearings and a few other goodies on it. All I need is race bodywork, engine covers, clip-ons, rear sets, 520 chain/sprocket conversion and a quick shifter and I am good to go......roughly $3000 and I'm golden.
Then for a street bike I am thinking of something like an adventure bike which will be a little more upright and comfortable for longer days as well as less of a heat score.
Please tentatively count me in for a spot on the discount list. I'll confirm the time off with work this week and post up here either way so if I can't make it, someone else can take my spot.
Sounds good.......if Young Lion, you and both of your buddies come that puts us at 9 so far on the board here.
I have a maybe from Gxr Jo the over phone pending how his arm looks on x-rays next week......so we may already be at the minimum but the more the merrier.
See you mainlanders there!!! We're trying to get an Island contigent together for this one! Hope everyone will be flying the colours so we know which pits to stop at for the apres party's!! haha
Very cool...as mentioned before I am hoping to get people to start registering in the next couple of weeks so that we all get the classes that we want.
The way it is going to work is that I am going to get a good idea for numbers off this thread......then talk to Motofit and work out the 'deal'.......then I will PM everyone with the phone number to call to do the registration. Most likely I will send out that PM in the middle of next week.
Just chatting with Rob from Motofit and most likely we will do the registration online using a special promo code (yet to be created) and we will then be entitled to the discount which is $25. Once this is set up I will PM everyone with a link and the promo code details.
Payment method is going to be Paypal. I assume most of us have Paypal accounts so it shouldn't be a problem but if you do not have an account I suggest you create one over the next couple of days.....you can link it to your bank account or credit card or both whatever you choose.
Add me to the list, I'll likely be riding down with SnoDragon, might even have room for 1-2 more bikes and riders depending on who's vehicle we end up using....
Im on the fence still lance. Im scheduled to be at sea im gonna try to get out of it for sure. Cant be letting you hoolies getting a leg up on me before round 1!!!
Sounds good. I will send you a PM once their website is up and running.
As a further update.....I was speaking with Rob from Motofit tonight and he assured me that our group will get the various spots that we want......he also told me that there will be both Dunlop Ntec's and a full range of Pirelli tires at the track.....Barry from KFG (aka GP North) will be there to install the tires and do suspension set up for those that want it done.
Just to clarify, is this a track day that anyone can sign up for as long as they have the proper gear and bike?
