| Re: Barber November 11-12 I'm on the waiting list, but not terribly concerned about it.. There will be cancellations a week before, just at the point where one can cancel without penalty. |

| Re: Barber November 11-12 I'm in and signed up for the two days.
Hey, what do you mean on the waiting list? Because of the credit or because they are booked?
Hammer and Kawboy69, get you **** together and sign up Now......... if you can't make it, you have a week to cancel and get a credit. Don't make me have Seamus sign you guys up
MR. I, I'm not worry about keeping up so i know you are doing just fine  and nice to see you on Monday.

| Re: Barber November 11-12 Hey Frenchie!!! =)
I've been signed up for Barber since like April. Watch some videos of it if you can find them, it looks AWESOME!
Dave, keep bugging them and get on the list sooner than later. It would be cool to see you at another track. |

Haven't looked at hotels yet, starting that tonight. I'll do like I did in the Putnam thread and research it over the next couple days and post what I find. |

| Re: Barber November 11-12 Ok this is going to be sooo much fun i want to go ahead and remove myself from the free intro class and just reg for beginer since they still have room.
The only reason i signed up for the free intro was due to the fact that i haven't done this before and i kinda wanted to try it out but i would really hate to miss out. Granted i don't have a trailer would have to rent a truck etc and my gear i'll need leather since i have mesh icon timax II jacket that sheep told me would not work.
input please  |

| Re: Barber November 11-12 Well, we can help you prep your bike at the track, since for the novice group it mostly consists of taping the lights and speedo, removing the mirrors and plate, and taking out the light fuses. They rent leathers at the event, though I think you have to make prior arrangements for that. Presumably your helmet, boots, and gloves are up to the task.
I would recommend that you remove the antifreeze and replace it with distilled water and redline just in case  , and you can use silicone to help ensure the oil plug, fill, and filter don't back out. |

| Re: Barber November 11-12  suggested similar. I told him I was going to try to get a Fireblades zone in the pits (I like bottom tier and all the way to the right).

| Re: Barber November 11-12 Sound good to me i'll go ahead and reg on NESBA and sign up for beginer. Hopfully the rest will fall into place.  Does anyone know how to check serial for date of manufacture on a scorpion helmet? My sweat seems to have melted it away...LOL. I did just buy it about 2 months ago but no telling how long it was on the self. |

And PLEAAAAAAAAASE bring those rain tires.... they work everytime.
And if those Indiana boys would sign up and join us, we could even use a bigger trailer and all go in one SUV. That would even be cheaper.
