| Another Grattan Track Day Hey, New here, a few may know me. I'm a track instructor for Trackoholics.com with Frank Fisher. Anyway my brother is organizing a private day for 8/17/05. He'll run 2 groups-totally private day-but all rules for prep and safety apply. Contact Mike at 586-419-9888. Or call me at 248-670-0771. Frank mentioned what a great group this was and I missed the days he had organized, Hope this open invite lets you guys get more riding time in. Linus | |

| Re: Another Grattan Track Day We are capping it at 25 riders, and we will straight up divide the cost on the amount of riders who commit. call my brother he has a running total, so far he has 13 or 14 guys, but he came up with the idea 3 days ago and got that many firm commitments. Linus |

| Re: Another Grattan Track Day Quote:
I am looking to have 20 to 25 people for this event. $50.00 Reserves your spot and balance is due by August 10th. Rather have the payment aspect done so all I will have to worry about during the track day is riding. I will refund the deposits if I do not get at least 17 riders. Cost is $150 for 20 riders and $130 for 25 Riders with a cap at 25. Cost might be slightly more if we have less than 20 Riders. If I do not have 17 riders I will not have the track day anything under that and the cost is unreasonable. The fee includes the use of the track for the day, an ambulance and 6 corner workers. Since the cost covers the use of the track and the corner workers food/drink will not be provided, I will bring extras but probably not enough for everyone. This will be a track day with 2 groups alternating Intermediate and Advanced. Please let me know which group you will be running in when you reserve your spot. I reserve the right to ask people to go up or down for safety. This is for fun, not a race. Passing is allowed in both groups arms length for intermediate and a bit closer for advanced. No stuffing please. If you are faster than the person in front of you, you should be able to do so without risking rider safety. Please consult www.trackoholics.com for what bike prep is needed for the track day. Hooliganism will not be tolerated. Hooligans will be asked to leave, no refund issued. Feel free to contact me at 586 419 9888 Please respond ASAP. I will need to lock in this date with Grattan. PM if you need payment information or have any other questions. Thanks! | |

| Re: Another Grattan Track Day Mike pulled the trigger and we are GO!!, still open to a few additional riders-August is going to be killer-its the best as far as weather and with Mike running just 2 groups you wont be complaining about track time. Linus |
