Dude that awesome! I'm going to try and make this..

[jbnwc]

I'll be there! The lady who runs FAASST, Judy Faass, is about the coolest person I've ever met.

[SupermotoMJ]

I don't see this even on the PMP shedual tho..

[jbnwc]

It's definitely happening. Judy Faass sent me an email about it this week.

[SupermotoMJ]

I'm guessing track requirments must be meet? Saftey wire bolts water in radiator ect?
are they having a tech inspection?

[jbnwc]

I don't believe PMP requires any safety wire, but if I remember correctly, they do appreciate non-glycol based coolant.

Good stuff. so the entire day is only 50 bones for military? that includes track time and everything?

Even cheaper. If I understand correctly, all military get 50% off. Pueblo is normally only $75 for a full day so you do the math.

Great work and an amazing way to show appreciation to our soilders!!!

[SupermotoMJ]

are u serious? $37.50 for the day!

[eklew]

Dang, that's IMI cheap!!! Except for the gas to get there!

I also got the announcement from Faasst and it is $100/$50 for military and all money goes to a soldiers family that is in need. I'm hoping to scrounge up some fat guy leathers and make this.
Here's the email:

E - are you bringing your trailer so you can bring me home?

I'm hoping to scrounge up some fat guy leathers and make this.

I would need some 6'8" leathers so don't think it's going to happen but man that would be AWESOME for a newb like me to try it out!

Also, do the normal things like water, no mirrors(glass), full leathers etc... apply here? Sorry, figured I'd ask the resident experts!

[jbnwc]

Judy and Kurt are trying to get a count of how many people will be at this. I think if we have enough people they might open the concessions. If not, I'll maybe bring down the grill and show off my cooking skilz for y'all.

My neighbor and I will be there, so that's

My leave just got approved for thursday so I will try and make it down there!
never been there How long is the drive?
and does this cost extra money? Safety Orientation Class Available to them

[SupermotoMJ]

I'll probably trailor down and should have room for another bike if anyone wants to pitch in gas money and ride with.

[jbnwc]

It's about 90 minutes from the DTC, more from Aurora. I don't think they are charging extra for the orientation, but bring the checkbook in case I'm wrong.

[LambeauXLIV]

Do you think they would give ROTC the discount?

[Mental]

Do you think they would give ROTC the discount?

You have an ID, I used to get the same discounts when I was in ROTC. You swore an oath the ROTC and you get paid (not much but you do) so I'd say yes.

[jbnwc]

You could always email Kurt at freetrackday.com to know for sure.

Hey Guys;

I was just going to post a reminder thread about our upcoming Military Appreciation Day --- and BAM! someone already beat me to it here! Let me clear some things up for you.....

Thursday - September 11, 2008

Judy and her car school have rented the track and graciously invited us biker types to come as well. The track will be separated into sessions for cars vs. bikes. We have the track for 20 minutes every hour (from :20 to :40). The day is 8:00 - 4:00. Bike prep is very casual as we are trying to lure some noob's out for the track experience. I would prefer to see lights and mirrors removed, but tape is fine. You need to have protective riding gear - helmets, boots, gloves, leathers... and I prefer back protectors. I will be "teching" bikes for safety issues like active oil leaks, bald/excessively worn tires, flapping plastics... etc.

The cost is $100.00 unless you are active military, fire, or police.... then it is 50% off. The proceeds are benfitting a military family based in Colorado.

The day will start with a track riding "Basics" class by me, followed by a track walk.... this is great for seasoned guys or new riders. Riding 20 minutes every hour is great because that will allow for face time to answer your questions or help you out in the pits. Plus it will force you to rest and hopefully hydrate ---- I recommend starting the hydration process .... NOW!

Pre-registration is available on www.freetrackday.com or you can pay at the track.... but the pre-registration really helps Judy and I prepare for the day.

Thanks and SEE YOU THERE.
