HPR Lapping Day 4/23 (Monday)

[Matrix]

Weather is looking great for a little fun on the circuit. :headbang:

I am planning on rolling out for the afternoon sessions only (half-day). Anyone else heading out there?

[Bueller]

Probably in for afternoon session.

[UglyDogRacing]

afternoon

[Slo]

I will be there in the AM but will most likely run the afternoon session.

[powers]

Count me in for 1/2 day in the afternoon.

Tested out the new trailer setup last night and everything worked.

[powers]

Quick question.

http://www.highplainsraceway.com/pdf/HPR-Lapping-Day-Policies.pdf

"Information Meeting will be held at 12:40 for the afternoon session."

When does everyone show up for the PM session? Can we enter the HPR grounds around 11:30 AM if we are signed up for the afternoon? It's my first time so might need extra time to get ready.

Thanks!

[Bueller]

You can enter anytime after 0700 when the gates open, I try to be there ~ 1145-1200 for afternoon.

[buddahson]

Just got the day off work. I'm in for the afternoon.

[zrouth]

I'll be there for the morning and afternoon sesh. First time n00b here. I can't wait. What time do I have to be there for the morning information "first time" rider stuff?? Can I just show up and pay for the session there or do I have to register somewhere first? Thanks I'm STOKED!!!!!!

[gsxridiot]

[Ghost]

10% chance I might make it, but if so I'll do the full day.

Paying day of will cost more than pre-registering. Riders meeting is at 7:40am.

Go man!!!! Will be good to be riding with you out there again.

I'd love to go out and get lapped by you, just have to see about cash, transport, and if I have time to prep the bike this weekend or not--and all of those combined are making it an iffy proposition.

I need a race bike...and trailer...and truck... :p

Me too man, I'd kill to do track days so I can improve my skills and have fun while not having to worry about LEOs lol.

Concentrate on the cash, bring your bike to my place this weekend and we can both work on it. I asked one of my buddies if he goes...if he can bring you along.

Will be much easier for him to pick you up from my place since it's on the way.

Just let me know if it seems doable and we will get the resources to make it happen.

$35 IMI no bike prep or gear requirements beyond a helmet.

Cool man, Thanks (as ever) I'll see what I can do and let you know as soon as I can.

[ghostrider_9]

Looks like I will be there also. I have an extra spot in my enclosed trailer if someone needs to get their bike out there and back . . .

[Slo]

Afternoon paid now online WOOT!!!

[Matrix]

I also have an extra spot in the trailer. Leaving from the Stanley Lake area around 10:45.

[Ghost]

I can't swing this one, but with better planning I'll definitely do a few this season.

[buddahson]

Anyone looking to share a carport for the afternoon? I don't need power.

[Bueller]

I'll go in on a spot again.

[Slo]

+1.....I have no canopy haha.

[ghostrider_9]

+1.....I have no canopy haha.

I have a canopy that I am bringing. Unless you need power.

[Slo]

I have a generator, friggin heavy and loud!!! Apologies to anyone that has to hear it in advanced.

[ghostrider_9]

No worries . . . I have an extension cord. We can put the genny near the people with canopies . . .

[Bueller]

Don't need no warmers on a lapping day :)

[Slo]

lol..... last time i did that, I ended up getting up close and personal with the asphault (face planting mixed with sky diving).

[Bueller]

A little restraint on the first lap or so goes a long way :lol:
Oh yea I forgot you liter bike boys gots all that pwr, you shoulda bought a girls bike. :yes:

[Slo]

Was a great day out there.....found many faults for myself which is good, at least I have more than enough to work on.

[Bueller]

What a great day! Warm pavement, no wind and 1.2 seconds dropped from last time. Only bad for me was forgetting to charge gopro. I got all of 11 seconds of video from that first wild afternoon session. I was really hoping to catch that, it was crazy fun traffic :lol:
great to see everyone that made it out today!

[buddahson]

Definitely a good day. I had a couple personal best laps. Good riding with you guys as always.

[Matrix]

I can always tell when I have a great time out there...Because I am sore as hell the next day. haha

[spideyrdr]

It was good to get out there again! I saw a couple of guys go down but no one seemed to be too banged up.

There was a guy whose license plate was falling off in the afternoon- I tried to let him know about it going through turns 2 and 3, I hope I didn't freak him out. If you're on here Mr. Hanging Plate, I was just trying to help and hopefully didn't spook you. It's hard to communicate that sort of thing through hand signals.

Cheers,
Jamie

[Slo]

Anyone know the person that was out there with their camera?

What about your video from that new Contour on your head?

[Slo]

Had it on for a short session, it's actually kind of boring haha.

Followed ghostrider around for a lap and then did my own thing, I don't like the camera on the helmet, will be transferring it to the bike:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N37-OH3_zcw&list=PL01C4291642D916EB&index=1&feature=plpp_video

Looks like after the first lap 2m 5-6s or so and then a 2m 3-4s or so

[ghostrider_9]

That was definitely fun!

I can see where mounting it on the bike is smoother, but that's still cool you got something up. :up:

[buddahson]

I don't. Hopefully he's on this board or someone here knows him. I'd like to see some shots.

[sprtbkbabe]

I don't. Hopefully he's on this board or someone here knows him. I'd like to see some shots.

That was Randy Throckmorton. He'll be out there most MRA race weekends and any track days I run.

You can contact me or him at w.o.throttle@gmail.com

Supply your # on the bike, if you have one, and some distinguishing marks so he can pull pics of you. He may only charge you for the mailing of a disc :up:

[Bueller]

Emailed him thanks! I don't have any real decent pics on the new bike yet.
