Trying to gauge interest on this event.

Hey Flip, you could definitely count me in! I'm sure 3 or 4 of the usual Grattanoholics® I ride with will want to go, too. Let me know if this is going to happen....

Thanks for trying to put this together!

Re: Private Track Day -5/19/06 - GRATTAN
Do you run it forward or backward?

We used to run the last couple sessions at the end of the day backwards cause people wanted to try it.

Newbies always love it backwards, but the faster you go the less you like it.

I'm just curious I have ran it both ways, and like it forward much better but its fun eitherway.

I'll be getting you a deposit some time this week. Anyone else I tell about it will have been to several trackdays and ridden on the street for years.

If you need any help with track walks, tech or anything like that I would be willing to help in the morning.

My SV is a track virgin so I'm sure I will be tweaking on it some during the day. Might even bring the RC51 just incase I have a problem. Germlins suck at a trackday and I know the RC51 works and its paid for.

Thanks for the offer Nick, my intention is to run it forward, but the idea of running it backwards is starting to intrigue me, i'll see what everyone thinks that day about running it back wards for the last few sessions.

Oh I see Flip toss out a private track day before my wedding reception, I see how it is. I would love to come but the wife is hell bent on me NOT spending and cash for the bike until we're married. I must comply with her request so our marrige doesn't start off on the wrong foot. However, after June 2nd, I'm game. She was complaining about some life insurance bullshit, I really don't recall I wasn't paying any attention to her ramblings.

I'll be sticking around too, waiting to hear from Linus to see if he is in or out.

Where are you crashing for the night? I'll ask if Sam will let us leave our stuff overnight in one of the garages.
