CSC Track Dayz

[One-ops]

It's Track Day Eve!!!!

[One-ops]

Only 3 bikes out had a freakin blast though. Huge ups to Judy and Nick Ienatsch for making sure everything was all good. If you haven't been you guys need to get out there working with Nick is amazing!! You'll get a lot more out of the day then just the standard safety stuff. He helped me out a lot on the day just to make sure I was having a good time and I was just there for the td not the class!! They want us out there and having fun and supply a newly paved place to do it. They have my support I can't wait to go back!!
First time back on a bike in two years and I think 3-4 since I was at Pmp my riding was garbage and stiff and foreign but by lunch was feeling much better. Still feel stiff to the left and my fitness is my biggest issue so I've got some things to work on. Love riding bikes!!! I'm sore as all get out today though lol my everything hurts! lol

This coming monday mang

[Aaron]

Maybe I should have rephrased lol, when is the next PMP track day after the 22nd?

Also, do I need any certifications to race? Or just full gear, taped lights, and distiller water?

[One-ops]

Do you have previous track experience? If yes just bring some form of proof if not sign up for the safety track class with Nick I. It's 250 and your track day is included in that.

[Mr2GQ]

Thinking about doing a track day at PMP or HMP. What are the pits like? I've been playing on their web site but I'm not finding much on garage rentals, etc. Do most people just bring an EZups?

I'm not bringing warmers/ so no need for power... just looking for a place with some shade.

[Nick I]

One-Ops, thanks for the note, great to meet you and your family at Pueblo. As far as my coaching, I know how much the little things help...and you saw that in your riding. Went from slow and tentative to a whole lot faster and...wait for it...FUN! The better people ride, the more fun they have, the more they ride, the better our industry does. Okay, lesson over.

Yes MR2GQ, bring an ez-up to Pueblo as there are no garages yet. If you get there early enough, there are some pit spots near the tree that stay relatively shady.

Here is a link to Judy Faas's site with track-day info...might have to paste it in your browser... http://www.faasst.com/prodinfo.htm?sku=03302012124826-50&cart=136785627535785 . And of course there is pueblomotorsportspark.us for a full calendar. There are a lot of track days!!

The next Track Orientation day that I will run is June 7. I might be to other days before that, but June 7 for sure. If you have someone who would like to get introduced to track riding and Pueblo the right way, please send them out.

And Great to meet you a well!! We had a blast man thanks for helping me out. Can't to get back out there again!!

[Aaron]

[Nick I]

Good stuff...we should make a plan that the first motorcyclist to get there grabs some spots by the tree!!!!! Ah...shade.

[One-ops]

Last Friday (June 7) went perfect and we had five bikes and four cars.

I had three riders in the Track Orientation class, with one participant having only five previous rides! The TO day was literally his sixth ride and he brought an R6S. His brother was on a 'Busa and the third rider was on a VFR800. We did lots of riding, just a little classroom time and then did drills while the cars were on-track. The new rider came in with a "I wanna learn" mentality and we had him stopping midcorner, trail braking, running down the front straight at 106 mph, controlling his geometry and radius with the brakes and throttle...in one day we shortcutted his learning curve by years. He was exxxxxxtremely happy...his brother learned a lot about controlling a fast heavy motorcycle and the VFR rider not only learned Pueblo, but discovered how good that V-4 Honda can be! Everybody got some two-up laps on my FZ1 and Louis Ferrari helped out on his R1.

If you know a new rider or a rider looking to improve...get them out to one of my TO days and let them learn on "a big wide road". Don't even say "racetrack"...say "extremely-safe-learning-environment-with-almost-nothing-to-hit-if-you-make-a-mistake"...well, that doesn't slide off the tongue too well but you get the idea. The last thing I care about is lap times during these TO days.

And we had a group of a dozen Army/Air Force advanced-rider-training instructors show up to talk with me about advanced training at PMP. We took a few parade laps and talked about what makes good riders good.

PMP is doing very well under the new management...thanks for everyone's support and encouragement. Hope to see you soon, Nick
