Questions about MAM
I am going to MAM on July 5. I have a few questions

1 Any other .org members going?

2 What is the elevation of the track? I need to jet my bike before I get there.

3 Is their a local forum where I can ask questions about jetting and gearing?

Thanks for any info.

Re: Questions about MAM
I will be there all day on the 5th. Racing the 3rd and 4th with CCS.

Omaha's Eppley Airfield is 984 ft above sea level. The track should be similar. There are NO elevation changes on the track itself.

Check out the Knowledge Base section on racetracks. There's a link to MAM's official site. They do have a forum but it doesn't get much activity. I've been to MAM several times and can answer some questions. Probably will have to refer you to others on gearing.

Thanks TB
Jetting my bike has become a full time job. I live at 3000 ft, the last track I went to was in Colorado at about 5000 ft, now I'm going down to 1000 ft. (I should have bought a FI track bike)

Excellent. I'll need new tires after Grattan.

Re: Questions about MAM
TB,
It was good to meet you too. I love that track, it is easily the best track I've ever been to. Good day, good group, lots of fun. I will be back for the Labor Day event, I might try to get a CRA license so I can race there. Congrats on your finish.

Were you there all weekend then? I wasn't real happy with myself until Monday. Got the bike sorted a lot better now. CRA is a great bunch of people.

Re: Questions about MAM
No, I wasn't there all weekend. Just Monday. You told me about the race. You must have been really tired.

Yeah, by Monday I was pretty much punch-drunk.
