I was thinking of hitting IMI tomorrow. I know that it might snow tonight, but I think that there might be a window of opportunity between eleven (elvenish for Cathy) and three. I'll check the conditions in the morning and make a final call. Let me know if you are interested.
OoOo... if the weather permits, I'd be interested.

interested.
Looks like the weather is decent outside; just needs to warm up a bit. I think I am going to head over at elevenish.
Just checking, no leathers are required for this track, correct?
No, just jacket and helmet minimum.

Nope! However, I would wear as much protective gear as you have. Gloves, helmet, a jacket, and some boots are the things I would say are a must. If you are going to go and you are short on some gear, let me know and I will bring some extras.
You guys have fun. My oldest daughter is doing a project on journalism in North Korea. Talk about a rough topic...sheesh! Barely any info on the 'net about it...hmmm...uh, guess that's cuz we're researching N. Korea.
Enjoy and I will make it to the track soon.

I'll get my own Stormtrooper costume to wear on there next year.

Is it cash only, like 35 bucks right?
They'll take credit cards. Just tell the person at the gate that you're going to pay inside and then bring the receipt back to them. Good luck out there with the weather. Looks like the clouds are breaking up a bit.

Yep, $35. FYI You can get some "gas station type" food there, and sodas . But no regular gas for sale I believe.

Hmm. Weather.com is only showing a high of 40 degrees for today now..
They almost never get it right. Channel 7 says 50 and they tend to get it right.

Cathy,
That is one hot elf! I like to see her in some leathers!!
We had a great time today. Thanks for coming out Diego, James, and Sebastion. Weather was on the cold side, but the bikes hung just fine. Looking forward to next weekend. See ya guys soon.
Cathy, you need to get out there with us. What about next weekend, Cathy?
Patrick
I've been contemplating next weekend. Um, only cuz it started sleeting here about an hour ago...looks like we're in for a whopper. Glad you guys didn't get hit by this junk. Um, but anyway...maybe next Saturday. Who knows. I'm itching for another mountain ride, too. More on that later this week.
Oh, but Sunday is a definite no, no since it's Easter.

Come on, Cathy; we can have an Easter egg hunt at the track. We can place the eggs on the track and see who can pick them up without running them over. We can also see at what speed they can be picked up as well. Let me know!
I am looking at Saturday if they cancel the MRA class, otherwise, it will be Sunday!
I'd do that on a pocket bike... but definitely not on my sportbike.

Men!!! Why must you all be so difficult?!!! j/k
Actually, since I've got 3 kids and they'd just about disown me if I took off on them on a holiday, then I'll have to bow out if you go on Sunday. That's just how I am.
On the bright side, with the way the weather picture looks for next weekend, I'm gonna ride on Saturday regardless. Sooo...mayhaps I'll be able to persuade you and a few others to join me.
