I think everyone must be on vacation ... I even forgot to come back to check up on this post.  :)

Heatwave notwithstanding, let's try to sneak one in soon!

I need to call that guy about the shock rebuild ...

I've been looking at the Ti2TT calendar and the reasonable options for me will be further out (sorry Mark!):

Pahrump in October (2nd and 3rd)
Streets in November (20th and 21st)

My bro and I have some family obligations that make it tough to do anything in the near future, but the fall could be okay.  I'm itching to use those pre-paid track days already!

I'll probably be down for one of those days.

We were at Willow last month for Aprils Trackdaz academy, it was 98 degrees. Brutal...

I need to wait until it cools off a little.

Yeah I realize we are in the hottest part of summer.  Ray, I will look at those dates though I would lean toward the Pahrump weekend on almost any date - I have to experience this motorcycle nirvana that Jim keeps talking about!

April, Jim, anyone:  any thoughts on Chuckwalla?  Is it "as good" as Pahrump?

Ray/everyone:  Take it to the Track has the following coming up.  I am leaning toward either Pahrump or Chuckwalla:

Oct. 2-3 Pahrump

Oct. 23-24 Chuckwalla

Nov. 20-21 Streets of Willow

I'd say if we're interested in Pahrump, we should book it real darn soon.  :)

I know some of the guys April works with have gone to Chuckwala and liked it, but its really in the middle of nowhere.

If we are only bringing  3  bikes, we could rent the big city van and split costs. I'm not going to track the Tuono this year, April and I will split time on the SV, me in B, her  in C.

We are going to N.Y in Oct, but if we can swing it would really like to get a trackday in.

Seems like I haven't posted in forever!  :(

Anyway, I might be up for one of those dates (Oct. or Nov.) - that is as long as it's a Saturday.  I do have a trailer available (thanks to my dad), so I can prob do that for my bike.  Anyway, just thought I'd post to say that I'm interested too...sure would love to do another trackday! :)

If you guys don't mind, I'd really like to get in a track day as well. September is rough for me, but I'd really be interested in an October day if you guys decide to push it a bit further out.

Nice, the more the merrier!  It will have to be October or November for sure for me.
