High Plains Raceway is Colorado's newest roadracing venue and offers 2.5 miles and 15 turns of asphalt for your surfing pleasure. Chicane fully staffs the event with corner workers, ambulance and instructors offering a second to none experience!

On September 13th Boulder Motorsports, one of the nation's premier Ducati tuning and performance shops, will be providing lunch free of charge to all participants!

Also on the 13th Vanmar Racing will be on site to perform tire changes and advanced level instruction.

Cost for the day is $200.00

We look forward to seeing you there!

[Foolds]

no, there will be an extra charge for the private sessions with Mark. He will be doing one AM and one PM session for one client each. It will include a video analysis of your riding in addition to private coaching at the highest level. Track fees and private session are $350.

If that isn't for you, then I staff all Chicane events with coaches that will work with people free of charge throughout the day. These are riders who are not only fantastic riders and racers, but also have a passion for sharing their knowledge with others.

Hope to see you there

Scott

[N1KSS1KS1x]

Thanks Scott :)
If I can make it some coaching would be helpful.

[Tim K]

I'll be there!

[Zach929rr]

I'll be there. What kind of times are the novices running out there, on the high end of the spectrum?

[rybo]

In the MRA -

Novice GTU -
2:13 to 2:15 would put you top 25

2:09 would put you in the top 15

2:07 and you'd be nipping at the top 5

[Stank Juic3]

Finally my first trackday. But I dont get it, I paid $200 for my first trackday (0 experience, missed the never-ever deal) and I dont get a free class or I do?

You know I'll be there! Count me in!

[SaShWhO]

Alright then... sub 2:20's is the goal for the day :)


remember rule number one while reaching for your goal big boy:alien:

[Sean]

My goal is to not crash. Anything above and beyond that is extra happiness. :up:

[racedk6]

This is a good possibility for me, I have a few things to fix before then but I should be good to go!

[Zach929rr]

Finally my first trackday. But I dont get it, I paid $200 for my first trackday (0 experience, missed the never-ever deal) and I dont get a free class or I do?

Just ask one of the instructors kindly :)

[mforza]

Hope I can make it.
I'm faster at the Chicane trackdays then when I race in MRA:lol::lol:

[rybo]

Instruction is always available at no extra charge at Chicane days. If you indicated that you have 0 experience when you sign up I schedule to have enough instructors on hand for everyone.

Looking forward to seeing you there

Scott

[Foolds]

Anyone got a spot on their Trailer from up north Metro?

[Zach929rr]

If you can't find someone by you, lemme know.

[chad23]

[Desmodromico]

Scott,

If we still have a punch left on the 3-pass do you have a new code for this one on the site?

Thanks!

Let me know if you still need a spot on a trailer. I have room.

[McVaaahhh]

Scott,

Thanks!

:imwithstupid:

[OUTLAWD]

scraping up some coin...hopefully enough to pick up a trailer as well

[lovinCO]

Hopefully Aaron and I are coming out for this one too. :)

[peteremsley]

I'm planning on being there.

When I convince the accountant in me that education is a very good thing, I'd like a book a session with Mark. Do I do that through Chicane, or Vanmar?

[Redflash3]

Count me in Scott. I to have one punch card left that I'll be using. I assume the code you gave me should be used when I sign up.

Thanks,

[Redflash3]

Alright then... sub 2:20's is the goal for the day :)

Zach, I'm going to try and do sub 2:20's to keep up with you :hump:

[OUTLAWD]

Just don't get too close...duct tape and zip ties are known to indirectly cause target fixation...you may start staring at the tail section wondering if might fly off at anytime...

You guys better be there!!!

[64BonnieLass]

Oh hey, a track day. At HPR. Well, sonofagun. If I can get my bike there I think I would like to come as well. Whodathunkit. :)

[Player 2]

Natty and I will be there... (with bells on even) :lol:

[Zach929rr]

Terri, I have one unclaimed spot on a trailer. Lemme know.

To Sash and Dave: Getoffmynuts(lawn?)

[cromer611]

if i can find a crank and throw it in my bike, ill be breaking it in for sure : ) until then i dunno

[Black Phantom]

I'm planning on it, just need to hear from Scott as I never done the Chicane track days before.

[Hack Job]

I'm there. I was just going to ride out there and have the GF and a couple friends chase me in a car, but if anyone has an extra spot on a trailer and no one else needs it I'll be happy to fill it so I can ride with them to the track. :) I'm in thornton.

I'm trying to get my hands on an easy up for some shade, but if it doesn't work out can I snag a pit spot with someone?

Can't flippin wait. :hump:

[dragos13]

Terri, you can always use my trailer again. Let me know and I'll get tags for it :)

Black Phantom, what are you waiting for from scott? Maybe I can help you out?

[lovinCO]

You guys better be there!!!

Yea, I have to learn how to ride on DOTs. I don't know if I can do it.

[Black Phantom]

Black Phantom, what are you waiting for from scott? Maybe I can help you out?

I spoke with Joe and he answered my questions. I'll be there unless I do something stupid at HPR this Monday.

[64BonnieLass]

Oh snap, I just pinged Scott to cancel my plans for this. Then realized I already paid for it. Whoooooo hoooooooo.

Zach, I may take you up on that offer. Give me a day or two and I'll ping you. Would you be willing to help with my rear stand as well. No worries either way, there is always a boy or two that will help me either way. I love boys!!!

Casey, thank you sweetie. And if I race next year, I'll pay for your tags regardless. It didn't dawn on me until I was coming home. (Dear Self, don't speed and get pulled over) BTW, if you get a bill from E-470 let me know. LOL, kidding. I was good. I think! :)

Tags were still good until today so you were ok :)

Let me know and i'll get another year put on them. And what do you mean "if" you race next year :alien:

Yea Casey, just keep sucking me right back in. Sonnofa!!!!! I've got at least 6 months babe!

[675Rider]

Ill be there slowing you all down again!

[Snowman]

Ok, are they going to do a MRA School like they did a Peublo?
If so, where is the link?
Is the price including the track day?
etc...

Cool, I'll squeeze in there if bonnielass doesn't mind a little sandwich action :eyebrows: No touching in my bikini zone though, that costs extra!

We can meet on the way somewhere and slap my bike on the trailer since were both kind of on opposite sides of the city (I'm on 104th and I-25). If you fill up the trailer, thats cool too, I'm more concerned with shade during the day than a ride, lol. :cool:

Shoot me a PM or give me a ring when you get your plan ironed out.

[crazyhammer10]

geez this sounds like fun im there for sure chad can i trailer with you ?

[rybo]

Ok, are they going to do a MRA School like they did a Peublo?

Randall,

There is no MRA school on this day. There are a couple of private coaching sessions with Mark S. that day, but they are already sold out.

Thank you

Scott

[Zach929rr]

Hey Zach I'll be pitting with a buddy but I'll come visit and hit some laps with you.

Why don't we just do a little pit row action?

[Ceez]

IM THERE....


Can I borrow someones bike...a trailer...some leathers...and $200 ?!?

[Tim K]

Anybody got room for another lawn chair under their easy-up? I'm trying to get one beforehand, but may not get it done due to funds.

[Redflash3]

Why don't we just do a little pit row action?

Cool, sounds like a plan.

[TheStig]

I want to go, but I have to admit Im a pussy. Im scared I will drop my street bike haha, meaning I dont want to hurt my bike, not that I just really suck. Although I probably do suck. Its actually the only reason I have yet to do one of these. sigh

Don't be scared. You'll never drop your street bike out there...trust me.

Just don't ride above your head mang, check your ego at the gate and open your mind up for a totally new experience. No matter who you are, there is going to be a slew of people who are faster(and slower) than you at the track.

I became sooo much more comfortable on my bike after a track day, and now the canyons seem kinda boring (unless I'm following zach...haha). That, and you can wring your bike out in a legal environment. its a win win situation. Throw some sliders on the brit and have at it!

I'll see you there! :up:

[Sean]

TheStig, it's totally up to you on how you perform. Like he said, leave the ego at home, go out there and ride your own pace. No one really cares about how fast or slow anybody else is. It's all about enjoying the day and learning more about your bike and how to ride it.

If you're ever going to give it a go, Chicane Trackdays is by far the best place to do it. People are split into groups by speed, which keeps it very low stress for riders of all levels. It's the best money you can spend to get better at riding.

It you are worried about crashing, don't be. Start out as slow as you want and only increase speed if it feels comfortable. Plus there are some awesome rider coaches who are as patient as they are fast. Hope to see you out there :up:

[Black Phantom]

Throw some sliders on the brit and have at it!

I'll see you there! :up:

:imwithstupid:

I have crashed two different Speed Triples and both had Ski King sliders, man did that save both bikes. All you need is the front frame sliders and swing arm sliders. If you want more protection then go with GSG stator and clutch sliders and you can drop that bike all you want and keep riding all day.

Try to make it, you'll have fun. Plus we need some in-line 3 take over :alien:

[TheStig]

I would need pants...hmmmm. I will have to see if I can locate some and I might be game. I dont have frame sliders either though.

[rybo]

I would need pants...hmmmm. I will have to see if I can locate some and I might be game. I dont have frame sliders either though.

I have a couple of suits that I loan out to new track riders at my events....what size do you need?

or, to ask another way, height and weight?

s

[Sean]

I've got some Teknic leather pants with a 360 zipper. Size 34 (I think)

I been riding for 6 years now. This is my first trackday, I have confidence in my riding but still freak out a lil in setting a proper entrance speed in corners. This is going to be a reality check for me about my limit and also practice. Also I know I can lean pretty far over (about a 45-50 degree lean) but just never got a knee down (Im terrified of gravel :roll:).

[OUTLAWD]

Plus we need some in-line 3 take over :alien:


I would bring the Sprint out, but dragging fairings, pegs and centerstands doesn't feel quite as cool as touching knee down...

and I have a sz 42 2 pc Joe Rocket textile i can bring...if the suit fits...

[ScottieFlan]

Yeah man, this is going to be my first as well... Luckily, I snagged a never ever spot a few months ago. I wanted to get a track bike for this day because I was afraid of dropping my street bike; I was looking at that 636 that's been on here for a while, but when I finally made time to see it, my Explorer's transmission went out (AWESOME!). At this point, though, I'm not worried at all.. I mean you go to a track day for a reason, and it's not to ride like a pussy, right? Granted, my first day as a never ever I likely will be. But in the end, nothing comes without a risk, especially with street bikes. Live life to the fullest, even if it means putting a rash on your baby's clean paint. All I know is I'm psyched and nervous as hell to get on that track haha.

Great advice! And it's not just about your ego...keep your naturally developing confidence for the day in check too.

Scott puts on an incredible day, especially for those new to the track. He covers everything thoroughly and it's left up to you to make the right decisions. Have fun!

[TheStig]

Im 6' 205lbs. I have a jacket with a half zipper but Rybo if I could borrow a suit that would work as well. Let me know and I try to register today!

[hcr25]

A thing or two to keep in mind when doing track days.

#1 Track days should always be safe (Chicane does a very, very good job at this.

#2 Track days should always be fun.

#3 Beyond having fun, track time should be a learning experience. This is true if you are a first time track rider or experienced racer. Utilize your track time to increase your skill level. When you get to the track have something already in mind that you want to work on. Like body position, braking, throttle control ect (about:blank#)...

#4 Draw a track map and make notes on it. This is a easy way to remember lines, reference points, brake markers. There is a lot going on in our minds when we are riding. Write it down! Think about it before you do it.

#5 Ride within your limits. We all usually think we are right up to the point when someone passes us. Remember it is a track day not a race. There will always be someone faster.

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Hey all. Never done a track day in Co. Always been in Cali. Do they run different groups out here i.e. beginner, novice, advanced or is it a free for all? Wanting to go the 13th but haven't really ridden (other than commuting) the past couple years. Want to go back to the basics the next couple track days.

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

I totally agree. It should be nothing but fun and there will always be someone faster that day. Always better to be slower and ride another day than to never ride again because you acted stupid.

[Zach929rr]

Riders are seperated into beginner+intermediate and Advanced or 3 different groups depending on attendance.

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Cool thanks. I was reading on their website about taping the lights etc. Looks like mirrors have to be taken off for the intermeditate and advanced. With the GSX-r's do they still require that or are they ok with the mirrors being pulled up and taped? Don't really want to mess with the wires if I dont have to.

[Zach929rr]

Pulled forward and taped are Ok for beginner I think... might want to double check with Scott (Rybo) on that matter. Taping lights is easy. Just make sure you unplug them too :)

Biggest thing (from experience :)) is to check the ego at the door and learn.

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Yeah I hear that. I did a couple track days in cali. But it was back in 06-07 so it will be like learning to ride a bike all over again. EGO will be left at the gate for sure. Had a friend that forgot to unplug his lights. Total mess.

[Zach929rr]

Good deal. There will be a few of us pitted next to each other in a row out there that day. You'd be more than welcome to set up shop in "Pit Row" :)

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Whats the cost of "pit crew" memebers? Will have to bring the wife and a couple other riders that want to watch.

[Zach929rr]

Nada. You pay to ride :)

[Zach929rr]

It's either 2 groups @ 30min or 3 @ 20min. Attendance dictates the number of groups, as per my previous post.

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Thats the best price of all itsn't it? Thanks for the info.

[Stank Juic3]

Biggest thing (from experience :)) is to check the ego at the door and learn.


Lol I think that my biggest problem "Im a cocky asshole"...Well that was Jen says.:)

[McVaaahhh]

socal - did you check the chicane website for requirements? You'll also need to replace your coolant with water and meet some minimum maintenance and gear requirements.

See you all out there. :up:

[64BonnieLass]

Zach, thank you so much for your offer of the trailer. I will take it and do a pit row with you guys. It should be a great day for all of us.

As the day get's closer, we can touch base and I'll be happy to do lunches for us if there isn't anything else - or even if there is. :)

Mike, I loved your post. See you all again soon.

[Sean]

On September 13th Boulder Motorsports, one of the nation's premier Ducati tuning and performance shops, will be providing lunch free of charge to all participants!

I'll be happy to do lunches for us if there isn't anything else - or even if there is. :)FYI :up:

[OUTLAWD]

I might have room for another, if anyone else is hailing from the great north...

and the only reason I would pit next to zach would be to give him shit..and steal his shade

[64BonnieLass]

Sounds good. Well be picking up Brian (Hackjob) somewhere up north as well, so hopefully you won't mind some sandwhich action (as he put it) on the trailer. Despite what Sean said, you should just go ahead and make some sammiches :lol: On a serious note, plan on brining your EZ upper too. Daddy likes shade 8)


and the only reason I would pit next to zach would be to give him shit..and steal his shade

One of these days I'm just going to kick your bike over.

[OUTLAWD]

And help me with my stand?! :oops:

Thanks Sean, I missed it earlier.

I don't know...that front stand takes a bit of gumption...I might have to start working out


as a side note...will someone/anyone have a transmitter for an XT timer there? in case I buy/borrow a timer

[64BonnieLass]

Awesome, I will bring 2 lawn chairs, a cooler full of water/gatorade and some snacks for the crew. I'm very excited about this. It's going to be a rockin great day with some great people. :)

Zach you are the one with the EZ upper...The hot sun shall melt me othawise.

But yes, anyone who own's one, needs to bring it. That sun can zap your energy quickly. Please protect yourselves and bring shade if you have it available to you. I may be able to get an extra one for us, if I ask nicely.

Dave, get your guns on sweetie. LOL. You are just awesome.

Anyone in our pit row have a generator I hope?!

[Zach929rr]

I just realized this is ~1wk away. Booyaka.

[675Rider]

Are there any issues camping outside the gate?

[Valguard]

Woo hoo! Ill be there riding in the "never ever" group. Does anyone still have an extra trailer spot? I could meet ya somewhere. I live in the Tech area and I'm willing to leave whenever.

[Zach929rr]

I don't have an extra trailer spot, but I can help shoo off the high-side goblins :)

[Valguard]

I don't have an extra trailer spot, but I can help shoo off the high-side goblins :)

Ha-ha! Sounds good to me. I don't think I could afford to go down again. Rule #1 is going to be in the front of my mind. My wife and wallet will help remind me.

[OUTLAWD]

Woo hoo! Ill be there riding in the "never ever" group. Does anyone still have an extra trailer spot? I could meet ya somewhere. I live in the Tech area and I'm willing to leave whenever.

i might have room....I am borrowing an open trailer that I haven't seen before, so I won't know for sure til I get my shit loaded...but we should be able to squeeze 3

[TheStig]

Anyone have an extra suit I can borrow? I have enough $$$ to do the track day but not to buy a suit also :(.

[Zach929rr]

i might have room....I am borrowing an open trailer that I haven't seen before, so I won't know for sure til I get my shit loaded...but we should be able to squeeze 3

If I can squeeze 3 on DK's trailer, then you can get 3 on Cowboys, eassssy.

Ask Scott. I recall him having a few loaner suits.

[TheStig]

If I remember Scott is quite a bit smaller than me haha.

You can still sign up to ride, take advantage of the instruction etc, you just missed the Never Ever discount on this one. FTW! Come out and play!

[nattynoo]

I cannot flippin' wait to ride this track again...

[cdbouncer]

Yep - but you can sign up anyway and take advantage Chicane's awesome instructors!


:cry: Ralph beat me to it..oh well - I second his motion!


Is it too late to do the "never have i ever" deal?

[mtnairlover]

Would love to come and play with y'all. I gots me a lot longer ride to do this weekend, though. Perhaps another time. I do love the helpful instruction, so I will be looking for another one of these in the future.

That discount is what was going to make it possible for this poor college student to be able to make it out there. Now it probably won't be happening.

If someone wanted to go for a 2 up ride on their own bike I'd be happy to pilot it for them. I did this with a participant at my last trackday and it worked really well.


Maybe I'll bring the pillion pegs and seat for the gixxer, as ghey as it sounds, it might be able to get me over this whole thing where I ride like a bitch on the track

although I'll have to find a way for my thong to hang out of my pants if I'm on the back

I thought this date was originally cars and bikes.

Chicane days are bikes only :hump:

I thought this date was originally cars and bikes.

You're getting this confused with either the 9/11 track day at Pueblo, or the HPR test and tune stuff which is cars/bikes and just a show up and ride thing at the track.

[kawasakirob]

Wierd yeah, must have looked at the wrong date earlier on the HPR event schedule for this weekand.

[co750]

Man, I really want to go to this Sunday. I'm going to have to find a way to make it work.

[kawasakirob]

There a motel rt off the highway or I saw a rv site with campground and cabins not to far from 36 on 70

53 bucks for a two bed, good breakfast right next door. See you there.

[Graphite675]

Anyone bringing a lap beacon with them?


.

[Sean]

Okay. I've got some new tires (thanks Dirk, you're the best!), checked the fluids, clean/lube the chain, polished my Chicane #1 sticker and even touched up my numbers with a little extra electrical tape (who puts two diget numbers on yellow plates?). And for those of you that are curious, yes, I even washed all of the mud off of the bike from the last time. :doublefinger:

Now will Sunday get here already!

I thought you weren't coming qtpi?

You thought wrong. :D

You guys and gals be safe out there and have fun.

[TheStig]

Is anyone riding out there? I am not partaking this round but I want to go watch. If anyone is riding out there let me know, I'd like to meet up and follow out there!

[ScottieFlan]

Hey, I'll be riding out. My dad lives in Commerce City (AKA Reunion), so I'm going to spend the night there then ride out in the morning. I think he's going to follow along just to check it out since I've never been to a track day before.

[ScottieFlan]

Does anyone have an extra back protector I could borrow for the 13th? I underestimated the cost of getting started with all the gear and what not. I know I have to have one, but since I probably won't do anymore official track days until next spring, I'd prefer to put that purchase off for 6 months. I'm also looking for boots if anyone wants to sell a used pair (sz 12 shoes), or if anyone knows of a killer deal.

[ScottieFlan]

Nevermind. Got the forcefield from Dave at 303 and a pair of demo boots for $100 at grand prix. Very nice. Thanks guys!

So, I didn't have time today to put on my new tires nor change the radiator fluid or even cover the lights and what not. So, I'm thinking that I might just have to miss tomorrow. Anyone know if I can get credit for the next one or am I just SOL for the money I paid? This really sucks, but sometimes life just throws stuff at yeah that you can't avoid.

pull an all nighter getting it ready, get tires tomorrow at the track, problem solved

[Zach929rr]

Vanmar can do tires. I can help you do fluid. Lights take a minute.

[ScottieFlan]

Vanmar can do tires. I can help you do fluid. Lights take a minute.

What's the best tape to use for lights? I've never been to a track, and I don't have a trailer, so I'm going to ride to the track and then do the lights. Anyone have some time to give me a hand? And will there be tape to use there, or should I grab some on the way?

[Zach929rr]

Painters tape. Remember to unplug lights too :)

I'll have some painters tape. I'll be in the red Navigator close to registration (hopefully). Come over and holler at me. I'll PM my number too.

[tvnorm]

Any Ideas on pricing for tires, and what will be available?
If I may need tires should I have worked this out in advance or am I SOL?

[Zach929rr]

I know Scott sells some sets on the site. Might be able to catch him tonight. IIR, Vanmar has some sets too.

[ScottieFlan]

Another quick question... Gasoline... Do I fill her up in Byers or half fill or what? Does it matter? Thanks!

[Zach929rr]

I didn't use a full tank my first 2 track days. Only got down to the reserve light on the last one.

If you top up in Byers you will be fine.

[ScottieFlan]

ok cool thanks again haha

[SOCAL4LIFE!!]

Can we bring dogs to this track? I know you can at some tracks but I didn't know about this one.

[rybo]

Can we bring dogs to this track? I know you can at some tracks but I didn't know about this one.

Dogs are OK, but must be on a leash or in a pen at all times. Also, please pick up after your dog when the inevitable happens!

Thanks for asking!


Another quick question... Gasoline... Do I fill her up in Byers or half fill or what? Does it matter? Thanks!

Fill 'er up. Your bike gets way WORSE gas mileage at the track than it does on the street. If you can bring extra fuel that is better yet.


Any Ideas on pricing for tires, and what will be available?
If I may need tires should I have worked this out in advance or am I SOL?

Vanmar will be there with tires, but will only mount them off the bike, so make sure you bring the tools and stands that you need to get your wheels off. Pricing varies, but they usually have a good variety. Plan on around $350 for a set of trackday tires (2ct) or $400 for full race tires (Power 1)

The tires I sell on my site are tires from Vanmar racing.


What's the best tape to use for lights? I've never been to a track, and I don't have a trailer, so I'm going to ride to the track and then do the lights. Anyone have some time to give me a hand? And will there be tape to use there, or should I grab some on the way?

Looks like this one has been covered, but yes, blue painters tape is a good pick. Many people have some with them, if you can't find any let me know. Also, Zach covered this, unplug the lights before you tape over them.


So, I didn't have time today to put on my new tires nor change the radiator fluid or even cover the lights and what not. So, I'm thinking that I might just have to miss tomorrow.

or just BREAK then off all together...

I got vid for you too!

[Zach929rr]

Wow that was a good day out there. Managed to reel in a 2:17. Definitely stoked. Thanks to BMS for the free swag and lunch, and of course to the corner peeps. Got some good video out there today. Hopefully I'll have a chance to upload it soon.

Yes, I fucking know I ran out of gas. Yes, the bike runs better with gas. Yes, there is gas in it.

[sloridr]

Thanks to all the riders for riding there ass' off and not making the Medics or corner workers have to work hard. I have a hand full of pics i'll post up in the morning.

[64BonnieLass]

Thank you so very much for another great day. To everyone. Scott rocks these track days. Class act all the way from beginning to end. I just can't say that enough.

And Boulder Motor Sports really put on a great spread for both morning coffee and pastries, as well as, lunch. Just awesome.

I'm a very tired kiddo, and that's a great thing.

What a wonderful day.

[OUTLAWD]

a big thanks to scott, all the corner peoples, BMS and TAW for the free shiz and food and all the riders that made it an awesome day. i'd also like to thank the few MRA guys who helped out my pathetic lines...I know lap times don't really matter at this stage of the game, but I was clicking off consistent 2:20's at the end of the day with a tired body and a slew of stupid mistakes. Its amazing that taking the right line almost makes navigating the track effortless...

Now I just have to start putting it all together...and chase down my roomate who was clicking off 2:12's his first time out...

[Stank Juic3]

Good times! Except for the whole key situation.

Thanks to the corner workers, Scott, Ralph and the EMT's (whom I luckily never got the chance to meet). That track is a lot more fun when you don't crash in the morning. :up: Although I guess I have personal fondness for the mud there. :banghead:


Yes, I fucking know I ran out of gas. Yes, the bike runs better with gas. Yes, there is gas in it.:lol: You still owe me $50 for the brake fluid. :guns:

Thanks to the many riders who followed Rule #1

p.s. Did anyone get photos of the squid cruising around the track on the 4 wheeler, with the trailer attached?

[hcr25]

That was one of the best track days I have ever had! The track was the cleanest I have seen it this year and we had no real major incidents. I also want to thank Scott for letting me help as a instructor. It was my first time helping as a Chicane coach. My three new track day students did awesome! Nikol, Jeff and Clark all listened and applied what I showing them and made great progress by the end of the day.

The number I heard was more then any previous Chicane day! It kicks Ass that Chicane days are growing.

[Gainer]

Thanks to Ralph, Sunday was my first experience with a Chicane track day and I had a blast!!! even though I never hit the track. For those of you that don't know me, I was the guy at the front gate asking for autographs. I had a great view of turn 2 and it’s amazing what you can pick up just from watching everyone all day long. One thing in particular was a body-positioning maneuver that I saw one of the coaches using during a beginner group session. I was really excited to try it myself, so I hit the canyons today after getting out of work early. All I can say is...WOW!!! I made more progress in 3 hours than I have all season and I have been riding for a long time. Scott and the rest of his Chicane crew definitely put on a class act event. I am looking forward to getting the opportunity to work another one and hopefully become a participant next season. If you are really interested in being a better rider, you need to check these guys out.

So the big question is, who here knows who Geoff Cesmatt is?...because if you do, then while he may not be a church, he knows the bible of racing inside and out.

Does Cesmat still do world supermoto?

Yeah Randall is a hard one to catch. I felt bad getting him on the straight and parking it in the corners :(
I seriously doubt that. I’m betting you had a grin as wide as your helmet going by me at those speeds. :)

So the big question is, who here knows who Geoff Cesmatt is?...because if you do, then while he may not be a church, he knows the bible of racing inside and out.

I know Geoff. Kinda funny to see how other people think of him. I was just about to send him my sumo motor to put back together...

I have never met him, but through many strories I have heard he seems to be an "icon" in these parts. Tough talk from a 4-wheeler, trailer dragging, squid that promotes "safety". LOL

I know Geoff, I have seen his backside many times

Sorry I had to miss this day :cry:

Sounds like everyone had a blast...but I guess missing only one track day for the ENTIRE season isn't too bad now is it?!

Plus I have to save my $$$ for a trip to the Bahamas this next week :devious:

I made the trip up from Albuquerque to check it out --- great time. Article posted here.

Thanks to all the folks I met in the pit and made me feel welcome. I joke and sometimes say that moving to Albuquerque was like putting myself in exile --- sometimes I have to get out of the sandtrap and make sure I can still ride. :)

I'm a little late posting here because today was career fair at school and I have been busy as hell getting my resume and my act together to get a job. Anyway, it was my first track day and I had an incredible time. I have been riding a little over three years, and I learned more on Sunday than I have over the past three years combined. In fact, today some guy in a Tahoe locked his brakes up when I was right behind him, and I had no problem stopping in time. A week ago, I probably would have went off the road to avoid him or skidded my back tire and went straight into his trailer hitch because I was always afraid to brake too hard. Well, the instructors were awesome, everyone there was awesome, and it's killing me that I'm not on the track right now. Thanks again Scott for setting these days up, and I can't wait to see everyone out there again!
