[mayhem]

monday the 14th trackday at pueblo, 79 degrees and sunny....

[firefghtr]

you need to have taken some sort of class there to ride there on monday, right?

[Sortarican]

Is it a bike only day or mixed bikes/car?
(Not that there'll be many of either on a Monday.)

[rybo]

Firefighter- Yes, you at least have to have had the Pueblo safety course to ride there on monday.

Jeff- Doesn't matter...Rybo's gonna be there!

[Sortarican]

Jeff- Doesn't matter...Rybo's gonna be there!

I may have to run down for some of this action.
Traded my Friday off for this Monday since the weather looked better.

What bike are you running Scott?

[rybo]

Heading down to start sorting out the duc racebike.

Monday looks like it's going to be killer nice weather!

[Sortarican]

If I get the new springs mounted on the R6 I might be down.

Anybody have room on their trailer if (God forbid) I lay it down?

I'll have a spot jeff. If not on the trailer in the back of the truck. If needed we can make it happen.

[Sortarican]

Technical, spiritual and menu advisor for all of mankind.

You've been promoted Scott.
Hopefully I'll see you down there.

Not to threadjack butttt... Scott I know you have always had a helpful hand on CSC track sessions at PMI. Any gossip on when the next class/track weekend will be. I didn't see one but If there is already a post on the subject then sorry for jackin'.

I dumped/flushed my radiator and put in the WW, got the right gear and ready to go!

Firefighter- Yes, you at least have to have had the Pueblo safety course to ride there on monday.

[newyork1]

[wankel7]

What are the hours of a half day?

I saw Vanmar racing will be there to? Is that class that will be on the track or will they take track time blocks?

Thanks!

[mayhem]

as far as i know there is no class on the 14th, just bike only track day.....

[rybo]

The 14th is actually a Vanmar day, they own the track that day.

I spoke with Mark yesterday about it and he is running a school for the LOR ladies class and will be taking time blocks. The regular pueblo trackriders class will not be available.

He invites us to come and ride, but kindly requests that we not be asshats.

Seems fair to me.

See you there!

[mayhem]

sssshhhhh, always gotta be taking over...i got a race bike to get ready....cant really be an asshat to the girls if he's taking time blocks, since we cant ride when their on the track.....well maybe we should only have to pay for half a day, since thats all we'll get to ride.......

[rybo]

I actually see this the other way around. They rented the track all day and are being kind enough to share it with us. It's not about being an asshat to the girls, it's about creating something else that needs to be managed that takes away from the time they get to spend teaching and the reason they rented the track.

To be clear, asshat was my choice of words, not Mark's and really I didn't think this was going to be any kind of issue at all.

Hope to see you there.

Scott

[mayhem]

well, when it's posted as a bike only / vanmar day, then at the last minute decide to run a class, yes that makes it an issue...it turns our track day into a sit and wait day..............and to pay 75.00 for a WHOLE day turns into 75.00 for a couple hours of being told when i can ride.....

[wankel7]

Yeah, I didn't realize that the Vanmar racing day would be an issue.

I understand they are renting the track...but so are the people that are paying for a full day. If they have the track in blocks of time then why isnt it an exclusive Vanmar day? And not an open day?

I dropped Earlene an email to see if Vanmar has a timeline for their day.

I'm not sure I want to use two tanks of gas for something so unknown?

[wankel7]

Hi James,
Yes, Monday is an open track day so you can use the track anytime during the time of 8am to 4pm.

Thanks,
Earlene

[rybo]

Thanks for the clarification James...you rock.

Scott

[rybo]

Hey,

Just posting up a big thanks to everyone for a successful day. James, it was great to meet you guys and hope you can make it to the races at the end of the month!

I'll have some pictures up late this evening, if other have some pics it would be great to see them.

80 degrees, sunny, almost no wind. A nearly ideal day.

:-)
