Nah, I did a little bit of asphalt surfing with my bike recently, so it's not ridable.

But, I'm considering the 6/12 event.

It'd be a much easier decision if it was $249 for a trackday....!!!

Sorry to hear about that, they gave us Ducati owners a break on the entry fee because they know we've spent all out money keeping our bikes running .... j/k. It was a So Cal Ducati dealer event and all Duc riders got in for 195. Is the event on 6/12 249?

Ahh, I s'pose owning a Ducati has SOME benefit. I can't imagine any others.

I believe the event for June is $249. Last year it was about $230. That's almost two trackdays anywhere else...

Love the track....
Love the paddocks...
Love the way the organization runs their track days...

But I hate the price!

I guess after you ride this track, you finally start to realize why you're paying more, but it takes a while for my wallet to recuperate!!!


BTW: bb6h22a, if you don't already know, you can check out http://powersportsphotography.com/ to see your trackside photos taken by the track photographer on his site.

Their C Group has no passing in turns, right? :thumbdown

Sucks to be stuck behind a literbike that walks the bike in turns and punches it on the straights...

But yeah, their Garages are niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

It is a lot of money, I'll be looking for other events that aren't so much dough but it is the closest track to us So Cal schmucks ... wished I lived in Nor Cal so I'd have THill , Laguna and Sears all w/in a couple hours haul.

The usual ribbing ... but yeah, we got a break, and a free Italian lunch. So there. Oh, and getting the drive out of the corner is nice too ...

Seems like that's on the high end but almost every track day is 180 or close to, so if you like the track and don't feel like making a 4.5 hour haul to BW or 7 hour haul to Laguna or a 8 hour haul to THill, this is your only option and it's a pretty nice track.

Their B groups does though, just not down the inside. Regardless, you'll have the guy on a liter bike thing happen anyway.

Sweet! I might be back on two wheels by then. Or if not, I'll borrow my friend's bike. I'll let you know. When's the last day to sign up?
