Chicane at HPR 9/5/2011- Sign up early and donate to a good cause!

[rybo]

I'm pleased to announce that we've been able to schedule another day at HPR for 2011!

http://ChicaneTrackDays.com/register.html

Chicane and Boulder Motorsports present a holiday weekend trackday at Colorado's fantastic High Plains Raceway! Join us for a fun filled, safe and structured day of high speed enjoyment!

Sign up before 8/1/2011 and Chicane will donate $25.00 of your entry fee to whatever cause is set up for the daughter of fallen CSC rider, Dave Camp.

Furthermore if you sign up before August 1st you'll be placed in a drawing for a free trackday. All riders who commit before August 1st will be placed in a drawing. If you are the winner you will learn about it at the riders meeting on September 5th when I refund your trackday fee for the day!

As usual there will be instructors on hand to help you expand your riding potential and a very limited number of "never ever" spots are available. All sessions and the intro course still have space available. Boulder Motorsports will be providing lunch for registered participants!


We have an outstanding day planned! Looking forward to seeing you there!

[Snowman]

I'm there...

:up:
I can work again if needed.

[~Barn~]

I'm gonna try and encourage my buddy Adam (illadelphia), to do this. That discount you give for "never evers" is stupid to pass-up.

On that note, if I'm a "never ever" at HPR at least, do I qualify for this?

Count me in. I'll be registered by tomorrow!

[OUTLAWD]

[TransNone13]

I'll be there, smoother...

[rybo]

Kyle,

We sell cans of "smooth". I'll make sure to bring you one.

:)

Scott

[TransNone13]

You. Are. Hilarious!

I assume they are non-alcoholic since they will be served trackside, therefore I question their "smoothness".


lol

I'll be my typical last-minute self since I never know if/when I can catch a ride. :p

....a free trackday for someone? Seriously? :shocked:

[Tim K]

A free trackday? I'm in. Sign up complete!

[Cap'n Crunch]

That's good stuff Rybo - it's awesome that part of the proceeds go to Dave's family. Now, I just need to find a way to scrounge up some money for this... My wife is going to kill me.

[TransNone13]

Cap'n, didn't see you last time. Would have liked to say hello, hope to catch you on this one. We can car pool etc if you want.

[ian22]

Special guests?

I was thinking you!


lol, I was referring to someone who may know what they are doing.

[bornwildnfree]

[Reyven]

Scott, you have raised the bar once again. What you are doing for Dave's daughter is honorable. The added bonuses for those signing up are amazing!

[Survivalism]

Im in guys, ill be putting in for the day off on sunday and will be signing up online ASAP.

Thanks for making this happen!! I cant wait!

[DW]

As soon as I get the word I can move my annual Labor Day camping trip, I'm signing up!

And you know Mr. Kirimoto will be there throwing it down. Did y'all see that guy? All in shape now and stepped out on to HPR for the FIRST time and railed that mofo. I heard he got off and pushed the bike for a while just for some quick cardio and I still couldn't catch up to him.

[kat.luvs.sportbikes]

How often does this happen for Chicane 'Never Ever'? I don't wanna pass up this opportunity, but first I gotta get all the gear from head to toe, network with someone to see if possible my bike can haul up there, insurance involve when riding on track too right? Also, setting up the bike for actual track. Plus my divorce junk. Jesus! Money i'd tell ya! :-(
I wanted to know, when this event gonna happen again? I wanna try track badly one day and do it more often.

[TransNone13]

If you decide to go, I have a truck and a 5 x 8' trailer w/ ramp. Trying to make this with the KTM if it's finished. If not, I won't be going.

I appreciate it a lot. I will let you know, but first i gotta take care of the stuff that I need for track. I have too much questions in my mind, its like a full time job with this hobby. lol
I hope your KTM is on working progress?

[Sarge]

Craaaap. It's a week after my birthday, but being active duty I don't know if I'll be working or not.

On a side note, I have a back protector, but I don't know if it's CE rated, and I don't have a Snell helmet or gauntlet gloves - How out of luck am I?

[TransNone13]

I have all 3 you can loot. Also, it's Labor Day we SHOULD get it off...

PS When are we going on that ride?

Kat, it's the waiting game. We'll see :-/.

[Sarge]

In laws finally left after almost 4 weeks, and I don't have to work until September, let me know. ;)

My issue is that we're supposed to be going to the field sometime in September.

Rybo, if I buy a ticket now and can't make it, can I get a full refund? If so I'll sign up today.

TransNone13, you have any XL/XXL helmets? I'm a little big in the melon department...

[TransNone13]

Yeah, I don't have mongoloid sized helmets :D. But I do have XL A* gloves and A* Back protectors.

How long has it been since they've been working on it?

[Sarge]

Sweet. I've got a full 2 piece track suit (A* GP Pro) and a pair of SMX Plus boots, so I'm good there. I guess I'll have to hit up the donation thread the week before for Snell rated punch bowls. ;)

[TransNone13]

I do my repairs, I'm waiting for parts. Been 1 week so far...

You have to have Snell for HPR? Mine have been, but I didn't know it was a requirement.

[Survivalism]

Well see if im able to make this now, waiting on insurance to do their job so i know if im getting a new bike / etc.

Damn.. hopefully it works out that i make my way out their

Kat, the "never ever" is an option at each Chicane day. Space is limited though, and it tends to sell out pretty quick. It's a great deal and a good intro to the track.

As for gear, sign up and then post up what you need. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of help that is out there.

[rforsythe]

Snell isn't a hard requirement for the track that I'm aware of, but it needs to be some other solid standard (DOT, British - BS I think, etc). *Do not* use some cheap knockoff helmet to save a few bucks, unless your life isn't worth a few bucks more.

I just got my Never Ever. The website said only one was left. Don't know if that was mine (I had it in my cart but it wasn't purchased) or if it means there's only one left now.

Thanks, I talked to Rybo about it. I've got a DOT rated HJC full face helmet and he said it would be good enough. I just remember reading places where Snell was a requirement for the track. Like I mentioned before, I've got a full suit, racing boots, back protector, etc and I'm a firm believer in ATGATT, the only exceptions I make are jeans vs leathers. I always wear a jacket and gloves, and not just an ACU jacket - a riding jacket.

I think, I'll just do this event next riding season. Its a lot of money to spend, especially with gear. Boy, i wish again I was rich! LOL
One day CHICANE TRACK DAY! One day! :-)
I can be a spectator though right? I'll just watch and tease myself with all the riders doing it. SOB!!!!!

I made excuses for a long time too....... and the more you go watch, the more you want to do it. So be prepared for that. Chances of you finding gear to borrow are good, so it's really not all that expensive. :) Just sayin.....

Its my only good excuse really. Money is mostly kicking my rear, as I am going thru divorce. :boom:
I am just gonna watch, observe and cry in my mind. :-(
Story of my phcking life. Sigh...
Idk my size gear and not sure how much to set up the bike either. Its all money Reyven. :-/

[TransNone13]

Bike just needs the mirrors removed, lights tapes and water w/ redline. I would remove the light and horn fuse too. Too e-z.

[Ghost]

Depends on the bike. On my CBR600RR, if you pull the headlight fuse the bike won't start, you have to disconnect the pigtail connectors behind the lamp assembly.

[TransNone13]

That's a given, your bike will vary. Don't take me literally. :p. Unless of course you have a late model 1Krr.

[Bueller]

It is very limited and appears to be sold out for this event.

I'm good at squashing stuff...hopes, dreams, etc...

[iPraetorian]

I'd love to go but need someone to trailer with. Suggestions, offers? I'll cover gas round trip...

[rybo]

Just a reminder -

A few more days remain to assure that a portion of your trackday fee goes to support Alyssa Camp.

In addition we've got some great prizes to give away - the earlier you sign up the greater your chances of winning!

Thanks for all the support - see you at the track!

[Snowman]

Scott, you might want to splash this up on your Facebook page. I could then link it to other group

[Slo]

I think I will be in for this one..... need to get familiar with HPR before next year haha.

[MilkMan]

I would love to attend this but I have a few questions. Fist concerning my gear. I have berriks moto GP pants with pucks ect, and a full leather padded jacket, but they only zip together at the back. And also, the boots that I have do not have sliders on them. Is this stuff legal to run or are dedicated track boots and full suits the standard? I also plan on picking up a set of full gauntlet gloves in the near future because I know the wrist high ones are not legal. Another side note, my bike is not safety wired at all, is that needed to run on the track? And lastly, what are the rules for lights, mirrors, ect? As in do the mirrors have to be removed or can they, with the lights, just be tapped over for the day? This would be my first track day ever, so any help is greatly appreciated guys! Thanks in advance for the info!
-Mick-

[TransNone13]

The bike does not have to be wired. The coolant needs to be water or a mixture with water wetter (no glycol based fluids). Masking tape the lights and signals. Remove the mirrors and I would remove anything else I could which could break. I usually remove my brake light/horn fuse and remove the bulbs from my headlights. The tires need to be above the wear indicators. I don't know the rules for any of the gear requirements.

haha what? You need to start running some laps, you will likey the kookies.

[rforsythe]

If you have a two-piece suit it does need to zip together the majority of the circumference - the little back flap won't cut it, as the two pieces can then come apart and expose your torso in a crash. Rybo can comment on availability (if any) for loaner gear, but usually other folks can loan you something as well unless you're some really tiny or really large person.

Sliders aren't required, though obviously recommended for track riding. That will depend on how aggressive you are though; if it's your first time, I wouldn't worry much about that anyway.

I dont think I'd be able to borrow a suit (the main part I would need I'm guessing due to my stuff not zipping together fully) due to being one of those pretty large people lol! I'm 6'4" and 200 lbs so not too many people that ride bikes are close to my size! I will try to talk to my friend who does custom car interiors and see if she may be able to install the zippers that I need on my stuff. About the only other thing I think I would need would be the back protector then... May do some searching around and see what I can find on craigslist ect. Thanks for the info guys! Hopefully I can make it out to this!

[sbgixxer]

What exactly are the rules for headlights? The different track days I did in CA varied. Some required taping of the headlights and for others just yanking the bulbs was ok. If I was able to make this event, I'd be removing the mirrors and blinkers so they're a non-issue.

Thanks for any help.

It's best to pull the bulbs or the fuse before taping the lights (required) so the tape doesn't make a mess. Blue painter tape seems to work best for most people, followed by colored duck tape

[sbgixxer]

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll either make this event or something early in October (3rd or 7th). This will be my first trip to HPR or any in CO for that matter. I'm excited to try a new track.

HPR's the best track we've got, Chicane Days are the most organized, definitely worth going.

[sbgixxer]

What do you mean by most organized? How do the Chicane days differ from standard lapping days?

What I'm used to is arriving and deciding on your own (unless you show incapable) which class (of three...A,B, or C) to run in. From there, you run with your class, no inside passing, wreckless or over aggressive moves that could have an effect on another rider, or intentional, sustained wheelies. Is this close to what I should expect?

[Zach929rr]

this close to what I should expect?

Yes.

[rybo]

Chicane runs what I'd call a "structured" trackday. We have instructors, control riders and groups separated by ability / speed.

Also on the 5th lunch will provided by Boulder Motorsports
Energy snacks provided by Honey Stinger
Suspension Tuning on site with STM suspension
Tire service from Vanmar Racing and Michelin
Door prizes from STM Suspension, ATS Diesel, Boulder Motorsports and more.

Chicane is donating a trackday to the Dave Camp benefit and we've collected enough from early registraton to donate a couple hundred dollars in addition to the trackday.

I'm extending the registration / donation period - anyone who signs up prior to the benefit ride day (aug 20th) will have $25 of their entry fee donated to the benefit.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks Zach, Jay said he will help me out on the preparations. He lives like 15 mins from me.

Sully got a trailer, so we are good. Thanks y'all

[Ghost]

If I'm still in CO I'll go, just still up in the air atm...plus, I'd need a spot for my bike, but that might be solved if my buddy ends up going...

Is never ever not available, or would I be beginner since I never been on a the track?

Anyone going from the Southern Metro area going to this?

Ill be throwin the bike in the back of the pick up and heading out of Parker.
The offer stands here too if you need help prepping your bike. :hibye:

Oh hell
Soo would I be classified as a beginner and would I be able to move up in class, do you know?

[Bueller]

The never ever is a limited offer, only a few spots every event. They sell out quick. Nawtee is signed up for one this time. Beginner would be where you want to start. There will be a ton of help for you. If you progress rapidly you could ask to be moved up to intermediate but I am sure you will be happy in beginner for the first day.

[Concabar]

Thanks Bueller. I am registering now

[TransNone13]

Thanks Bueller. I am registering now

Awesome, you won't regret it!

I'm still supposed to be out of town. But as soon as I win that free trackday at the Dave Camp Benefit, and Rybo let's me borrow his Duc for the day, I'll talk Angela into rescheduling our trip. :up:

[Sully]

Thanks to everyone who's registered so far!

Today is the last day to sign up and have $25 of your registration go to the Dave Camp Fund.

We have a great day planned, please plan on joining us!

[rybo]

Thank you to the 20 people who pre-registered for this event!

With your help Chicane will be donating $500 to the Dave Camp Memorial fund which will be directed to his daughter Alyssa.

In addition each of you will be receiving 5 tickets for the drawings that we'll be holding for some super cool schwag at the event.

Thanks again!

There's still time - 2 hours remain in the pre-registration period to see funds donated to this worthy cause.

After that online registration will remain open - come join us!

For being the devil, you do some pretty nice things. :applause:

[Snowman]

I have a small problem.

I've come into possession of a Chicane Day that can only be used on the 5th. I ended up winning the silent auction at the memorial fro Dave Camp. Since I had already paid to attend I can't use it. I bid $100.00 for it.

So he is what I'm offering...

If there are anyone still wanting in, I will give the pass to whoever can offer the highest donation to the Dave Camps Fund. Start as say 50$ I will keep this offer up until Wednesday.

I've already donated the $100 bid, lets see if we can get a little more to Dave's daughter.

Snowman, this is a very cool thing you are doing for Daves daughter
may your good karma last forever

[tvnorm]

A challenger appears.....$125.01 !!

Yes, Randall won the trackday at the silent auction, so that pass is for him to do with as he pleases. I think it's VERY generous that he's offering it up this way - thank you Randall!

[rybo]

Randall, Norm,

I'm extremely pleased about how this went. I donated a trackday to the cause, then the winner of that trackday put it back on the market (because he's already attending) and then you guys bid it up to a fantastic amount, again for the cause. Thank you for seeing the value in this offering by Randall and doing something great for our community.

Scott

[chronicboy]

yep, a very cool thing Snowman did
cheers to you ,man

[Young Luke]

Worse than crack I tell you.

I'm in, see you all on the 5th!

[Bueller]

On a side note, what is the overnight camping situation looking like?

[rybo]

Not sure yet - pre-registration is still quite low, in order to afford the o-nite security I need a few more people to sign up. I have to make a decision by tomorrow.

Scott

[Bueller]

Cool, hopefully we'll get some more signups to help cover it. Is there a way we could donate separately to cover the cost? I sure hate gettin' up that early to drive to the track. ;)

[rybo]

Dave -

I'll let you know - right now I hope a few more people simply sign up so that I can afford to provide it to all of you.

Scott

[Reyven]

Dave -

I'll let you know - right now I hope a few more people simply sign up so that I can afford to provide it to all of you.

Scott

How many more do we need to tip to that side of the fence?

[rybo]

1,000,000

Just kidding - really just a few more 5 would do it easily.

but seriously - just bring all your friends. It's better that way.

Scott

[Sean]

According to WeatherUnderground, it's supposed to be 85, partly cloudy with only a 10% chance of rain (and they always say 10% chance of rain). That sounds like perfect trackday conditions to me. :hump:

[OUTLAWD]

I'd also be willing to donate to the o-night camping cause...or I'll just volunteer to man the gate all night ;)

I'd bring all my friends, but I don't have any...

anyone that is of the fence should just sign up...one of the best trackday experiences you will ever have, and besides that, riding around an empty track isn't very much fun

[Reyven]

1,000,000

I'm already bringing all my friends..... its their friends that need convincing.

[Ghost]

I should be here for the 5th, and I'm hoping to know what's up with my bike this week (it's been in the shop since 8/18 or so), if it's ever fixed/ready in time, I'll sign up, but it'll be last-minute...

[asp_125]

C'mon folks, sign up! I hate the early morning drive too. ;)

[chronicboy]

just signed up, need a place to camp also
no way i can make the 4 hour drive from Gypsum and be worth a shit at 8:00AM- more importantly 2:00PM

if somebody knows of a cool site 30-60 miles away, please tell me, i could prolly do it from there

time to get rid of those chicken strips, finally!

[OUTLAWD]

Think there is camping in strausburg or bennett...I highly doubt anything out there is "cool" though

[Young Luke]

Strasburg KOA is OK.

[rforsythe]

Worst case you guys can always camp outside the gate and have a little tailgate party too. Not as good as having a place to plug your rigs in, but it may beat driving out before the ass-crack of dawn like I'll be doing.

[Cornfed]

Cool, hopefully we'll get some more signups to help cover it. Is there a way we could donate separately to cover the cost? I sure hate gettin' up that early to drive to the track. ;)

+1

[chronicboy]

hey man, dont take it the wrong way, cool is : i can set my tent up next to the bike on the trailer withen 30 mins of the track
better yet, at the track next to somebody that fires up a 350cc ringding on 28:1 bean oil @6:00 AM
but now, i might be expecting too much
at the track, sweet, if it happens
if not, Strausberg or Bennet, anyone want to join?
-thanks for the response, OUTLAWD
-hey Bueller, i might be in on that idea if its cheaper than a Holiday Inn

[asp_125]

ANyone want to split the cost of a carport with electricity? Or already have one and want to share?

[OUTLAWD]

ANyone want to split the cost of a carport with electricity? Or already have one and want to share?

think my carport is full...anymore than 4 bikes and we'll be sitting on eachothers laps

[Titus]

how late can we sign up for this? I'm out of town for work right now, not sure if i'll be home in time, but i should know by Friday or Saturday.

[Bueller]

I think we are doing an RV spot unless there is no overnight, at that point I would be down for a couple spots.

[Scer]

I will be out there on Monday too. Let me know if you need any help with tires.

Play on playas

[rybo]

This just in - Sol Performance will be the official tire service vendor at the Labor Day event!

Oscar and his crew have been making a big impression in the MRA paddock over the last couple of years, and he's decided to lend his services to the trackday crowd as well!

Welcome Oscar and the Sol Performance crew!

[OUTLAWD]

hey...if it can't be a good imprssion...might as well be big

[Skinbabe]

We were thinking about taking the RV too... if we have some people that want to pitch for gas and we can camp out the night before... and have AC, which is most important. Let me know (Rey Rey...) we have 3 beds, so two other people or two couples. Let me know.... also we should plan to bbq for lunch that day... Who has a good size grille to bring out?

[OUTLAWD]

I have a good size grille...its just a bit too big to transport...haha

[Skinbabe]

We already pitched in some $ for shade. I dont mind sleeping outside on the ground. Thanks for the offer though.

As far as lunch, is it not provided at this event again?

Is that a problem?

What time does my lazy ass need to be at the track to get said "carport" ?

[OUTLAWD]

first come first serve....I'll be there with a stick to fight any intruders off


speaking of...assuming there will be no camping, when do gates open? 6?

[chronicboy]

hey there is a 2 bedroom cabin avail in Strausburg for 68.00$ a night
fridge and grill included
splitting the cabin would be cheaper than the 38.00$ a night tent camping they offer
they say the cabin can sleep 6, i dunno if thats desirable but, 3 or 4 would make it super cheap

anyone in?

[Cornfed]

Im sure the schedule is posted somewhere but I cant seem to find it, and since this will be my first time at HPR and first time with Chicane, whats the schedule? Gates open when? Rider meeting when? Track goes hot when? Break over lunch? Day ends?
Thanks for the info in advance....

[rybo]

Cornfed - I'll have a schedule posted here well before the event. Stay tuned!

All others -

I'm going to pay for overnight security so that camping will be possible at the track - I believe that the track is rented by another group on Sunday - so please stay tuned for instructions regarding camping.

Thanks

Scott

[Vellos]

The drive to HPR at 5:30-6:30 AM has a beautiful sunrise. :)

Yea I like to catch it in my slippers and robe as my dogs play with the rattle snakes on their morning walk.

[rforsythe]

The thought of seeing you in slippers and a robe, while funny, is a good reason NOT to camp out at the track.

[Bueller]

It is a much better site than me in my underwear, and that is how I plan to sign in if there is no camping. That should be enough to tip the scales!

[rybo]

We are always trying to make things better at On the Marc Photography. In an attempt to make things easier for everyone, we have made it so that you can pre-register for this event. If you are going to be riding at this event, use the link below to pre-register with On the Marc Photography.

Filling out this form allows us to better identify who you are when we are sorting images. By providing us with the best description that you can, it allows us to better identify who you are from all the other riders out there. If something changes between now and the trackday, drop us a line and we can update your info. We will also have forms available at the track, if you do not choose to pre-register. We will also bring the copies of the forms from the pre-registration to the track so you can verify your info while you are there.

This is the first time we are doing pre-registration. Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated. You can either send ideas and suggestions to me via PM or at marc@onthemarcphotography.com.

[Bueller]

So now I need to bring the xr100?

[rybo]

I can't speak for Rybo's insurance policy, but it wouldn't be the first time we've had a Scooter War of Attrition at the track...

The insurance policy will not cover "wheel to wheel" competition of any kind.

sorry.

[Ghost]

The insurance policy will not cover "wheel to wheel" competition of any kind.

sorry.

What if everyone isn't competing but just happens to start at the same time for um...safety reasons...safer than people randomly entering the track...on scooters...

[rforsythe]

The insurance policy will not cover "wheel to wheel" competition of any kind.

sorry.

Who said it was competition? It's just a parade lap of stupidity.

Full contact?

To the death? (of a scooter)


No, no... there is no good outcome here for my reputation or my insurance.


(I'm not saying it wouldn't be total fun, and I'm not saying that I wouldn't participate if someone else's company and reputation was at risk....)

[buddahson]

Anyone heading down from the Lafayette area and have room on their truck / trailer for another bike? My truck sprung a fuel tank leak yesterday so I'd rather not drive it. I'm willing to pitch in $50 or so for gas and your trouble.

I can't seem to find the carport reservation for Chicane, that event isn't listed on their 9/5 calendar on the HPR site. I was told it would be $60 for the day. :dunno: Help? Linky?

I just picked the bike up from the shop, it's still showing error codes, but screw it. Sick of not riding, sick of weeks going by while I wait for this thing to get fixed, and I'm not wanting to miss the last Chicane day of the summer...

It mostly dies only at altitude on hot days, so we'll see if it'll do the track day without issue. :boom:

I'll sign up tonight when I get home, meeting some friends for dinner first...

SO...yeah...Monday...let's (try to) do it. :D
