Track day - January 22nd

[crash]

When is everyone going to head back to the track? Obviously it will have to be jennings otherwise it will be too cold everywhere else. Give your input.

[CT954RIDER]

I'M READY BITCHES!

[crash]

I talked to Barry yesterday and he is talking about going in Jan to jennings. Well I guess no one liked riding on the track that is why none of you want to go. :shrug:

[CBRjunkie]

Jennings is still cold in January. We about froze our asses off last year there. :cold:

BUt sounds like it would be fun if we could get a crowd together.

[crash]

Maybe we could get lucky and have a weekend where it is in the high 60s or low 70s. That would be great but don't hold your breathe on that happening.

[SUM650]

I hope so cause I really need to get on the track. I fell like a crack addict that needs a fix.

[Mike]

My best friend and I have every intention of going to the track sometime between the middle of January and and the middle of February, so ya'll just pick a date, let me know, and you'll have two riders guaranteed to show.

[kristin]

I talked to Barry yesterday and he is talking about going in Jan to jennings. Well I guess no one liked riding on the track that is why none of you want to go. :shrug:

I'm thinking about going to Jennings in Jan. I am still trying to get people to go with me from around this area.

[crash]

Well someone start throwing dates when they can go and we can start getting a firm date before Jan rolls around. Also check with Jennings calendar to see when they are doing track days in Jan.

he he he

[crash]

Well I checked the site and the days are the 8th and 9th or 21st and 22nd. Now that we know the days lets start getting this set up.

ok just asking. when i drag race in the cold those are the coldest 6 seconds of my life lol so how does this work at the track.

[SUM650]

The 21st or 22nd would probably work for me. Of course this is weather dependent. Doing a trackday in 50 degree weather isn't my idea of fun.

[kristin]

wuss

i did my first ever track day in freezing weather ;)

[crash]

Well who else is going to give their input for dates? I guess someone needs to start putting names on a list for the 21st or 22nd.

Depending on weather:
Barry
Steve
Kristin?
Matt?
Kenny?
Jason?
Mike +1
Jun

Like me and Barry just talked about, the cold isn't so bad but on tires it is along with traction for some (probably not me). Anyway post up!

[CBRjunkie]

I'm not riding unless it is not unreasonably cold. At those speeds it you lose the feeling in you're hands pretty fast. Can be a little dangerous if you know what I mean. Plus I don't care if you call me a wuss or not but I can't ride fast when it is cold so what is the point. If I go it will be a last minute desision.

I'm in the same boat Matt.

[crash]

I say that since they are predicting weather 10 days in advance that we have a 7 day prior to the track day go or no go vote. Within 7 days they are pretty close in most cases unless there is alot of weather moving around then it is iffy :shrug: . Anyway how does that sound to everyone? We need more input from everyone interested otherwise I will just start another thread to waste everybodys time looking at it. :wall:

[CBRjunkie]

Steve. Have you been on the track since you're incident at Jennings?

Anyways sounds cool to me. Have a few things to do to the bike but I should have plenty of time before the proposed weekend. But it would definatly be Sunday if I went. Just watch the weather.

[crash]

We went down the weekend before you won the championship with Kenny, Jason, Barry and the rest of the guys. Had a great time on the 05 and a bunch of fresh faces to the track that I think are addicted now.

[mandingo]

HOW BOUT THIS WEEKEND? THE 1ST

[SUM650]

Wish I could, but I'm out of town until Monday. Have fun if you go!

[crash]

Too soon for me also. Need more notice that is why we are trying to get people to commit early so they can back out at the last minute as usual. Chris said he may also go again. Now all we need is Alan Connor, Alan with the ZX6, John on Jasons old bike Dave Winslet with the R1(now has an R6) to go.

[crash]

Well it is time to start making arangements for who is going to ride with who and when everyone wants to leave. I guess there is no reason to post if people are not going, otherwise lets get this organized.

[crash]

Well I got a maybe from John. Anyway I talked to Mike today and him, Kat and a friend of his will definitely go. I believe Barry is a definite with me and Jun as well. So there is 6 of us, now is the time for the rest to start committing.

[Kat_Mac]

Is it the 21st? The 22nd? Or both?

[burns]

HEY CRASH

Lost your number again!! Your part is in!!!!

[Kat_Mac]

Mike, correct me if I'm wrong but the cost for the track is...

150 at most
125 if booked in advance
100 if we can get big enough group

[CT954RIDER]

I think what we did last time was, we had a group of 10 or more and they gave us all a discount.I believe everyone had to pay 100.00. I will probally be able to make this track day. I would like to try to meat up with you guys again up in jennings. THis would be agreat way to kick off the new year.

[Mike]

Mike, correct me if I'm wrong but the cost for the track is...

150 at most
125 if booked in advance
100 if we can get big enough group

Yep. $150 at the track, $125 if booked in advance, and $100 if a group of 10 or more show up.

[New Englander all the way]

I am new to this forum stuff, but I was wondering who is all going to Jennings? Also is the track day just the 22nd, or is it both days (21st and 22nd)?

[Kat_Mac]

Welcome to the forum, New Englander all the way!

I believe the plan is to ride down there on the 21st, spend the night, and hit the track in the morning of the 22nd.

The list so far is:
Barry
Steve
Kristin?
Matt?
Kenny?
Jason?
Mike +1
Jun
Patrick
Kat (+1?)
Donny
Larry
Becky

[Mike]

I am new to this forum stuff, but I was wondering who is all going to Jennings? Also is the track day just the 22nd, or is it both days (21st and 22nd)?

Just as Kat said... unless you want to ride both days, or even more.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

[Dmaniiz]

:smirk: I am in...pending 7 day weather results.
I'm thinking I'll bring my 01 GSXR 750
Does anybody want to get together to stage their bike for the track?

[SUM650]

Hardly any bike prep is required for Jennings. Fresh oil, fresh tires, remove your mirrors, tape over your headlights and tail lights, and I would remove the kickstand if you have a rear stand.

[crash]

Chris said he is probably going as well and I'm still trying to get a few more.

[Mike]

Looks like we'll get our 10+ :)

[Kat_Mac]

Just received word from Kristin that she won't be able to make it this time.

[SUM650]

Looks like we'll get our 10+ :)

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. The day or two before people will start dropping off like flys.

[mandingo]

I'm in if I can find a bike, mine will be in Savanah on along with Ben & Eric Bostrom for a Red Bull event. The area manager for Red Bull is a friend of Matt, Jason and I, so when they needed a bike for the lecture they are giving he asked and I couldn't say no, especially since they sponsor us. So if anyone has a ride I can use (DK/'98' 250gp :shrug: ) I would be greatful. :wtg:

Yea Dk me to!!! lol

[CBRjunkie]

I was on the Jennings board earlier and it seems a lot of people are planning on going that weekend.

[jason 41]

I'm going, Havn't been in awhile should be fun

[crash]

Well I got a message from Donnie last night saying him +2 are going and I need to call Brian with the 05 R6 to see if he is going? I think this time I will out run Jason if I let the air out of his tires. Well it looks like we will have our 10 if everyone goes and the weather holds out. Checked yesterday's 10 day forecast and calling for rain fri and sat. I guess monday will be the deciding day.

[crash]

Well I guess if this link is any indication of how it is going to be next weekend then pick another day.

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USGA0589?from=search_10day

what about robeling? {sp}

[burns]

That is not good!!! But then again a lot can change between now and then.

[crash]

Well it is starting to look more favorable each time I check the weather. How about changing the day to saturday? How many would still be interested?

[Mike]

Well it is starting to look more favorable each time I check the weather. How about changing the day to saturday? How many would still be interested?

I'd be up for that... and maybe Sunday too :chin:

[Dmaniiz]

:wall: I just checked the Weather @ 11:28 on Monday the 17th and it is predicting rain all weekend!!! Time to start planing something else...No/Yes?

[DK]

[CBRjunkie]

The weather forcast continues to get better. Keep you're fingers crossed.

he he he............ to be continued

[crash]

Unfortunately I started this and have decided not to go myself since it may rain. :shrug: I have things that need to be done around the house since I might be leaving chucktown soon, so I will not be making the journey to the track of dreams where asphalt flows and people are smiling when everything goes well. :wtg:

Fuck you! i didnt just drop all this $$$$ to have everyone puss out. Sum650 im down!!!!
.
.
uhhhh someone want to show me how to use this shit!

[SUM650]

I'm not going for sure. Sorry Randy I certainly wish I could, but I have way to much going on right now. Is that Mac's old F3 that your sitting on? If so that is a very good bike.

that WAS macs old f3

hey uhhh do i need tire warmers? as a matter of fact... what do i need. i know i need someone over to the house to help me safty wire this thing....

[Mike]

hey uhhh do i need tire warmers? as a matter of fact... what do i need. i know i need someone over to the house to help me safty wire this thing....

Yep, if you want maximum consistent traction, and to extend the life of the tires. Safety wiring wasn't, and probably still isn't required at Jenning for a track day.



We're still going unless it's actually raining on that day.

Does anyone have a track bike I could borrow? I have one (the FZR), but I'd like to be able to get out on the track with my best friend, and we obviously can't ride the same bike at the same time. I would of course assume all liability. DK already offered me the use of one of his GP bikes, but I'd be too worried about the bike to have much fun.

[SUM650]

Call me on my cell Mike. I have a solution for you, but it will require some work on your part.

[SUM650]

I second Mike. You don't absolutely need tire warmers but it is a good thing to have. If you are buying new race tires, then they will allow you to get on the track and go about 90% of your race pace the first lap and as Mike stated they will extend the life of the tires a little. It's definitly not a must have, esp. for a beginner. If you don't have warmers you just simply take the first few laps at a slower pace and then you drop the hammer. One thing to remember is that your there to have fun and trust me you will. Your not the next moto gp god so don't worry about speed. You wont be the fastest guy there and you wont be the slowest either. One more thing before you go, once you get on the track there is no turning back, you will be hooked! Drag racing will be something that you used to do.

[crash]

[quote]Fuck you! i didnt just drop all this $$$$ to have everyone puss out. Sum650 im down!!!!

Randy,are you talking to me with that FU statement? :club:
I said that I would decide using the weather so deal with it.

Sum,
I dont think i will ever hang up drag raceing.

So what is taboo here? no brake lights or mirrors so what are the unwritten laws?

This is Kristian from NC. She wanted to go but is unable to this time.

I am new to this forum stuff, but I was wondering who is all going to Jennings? Also is the track day just the 22nd, or is it both days (21st and 22nd)?

I think this is Becky, Donny's fiance.

I'm not sure about CT954Rider.

[Mike]

I'M READY BITCHES!
anyone know this guy?

...and that's Ben. He's going to school at MMI in Florida. He was at the last track day (and many, many more I'm sure).

[CBRjunkie]

CT954Rider is non other than BEN. Lives in Florida. Don't know how to reach him though. But I think DK probably has his #.

[CBRjunkie]

Gene Logan says he is in.

[burns]

A man named Fred who bought one of our race bikes will be there.

[Mike]

Sweet. Sounds like we made it :)

[Kat_Mac]

Question now is when and where to meet up. Also, if we stagger in does it still count as one group or do we need to arrive together?

[burns]

I will pray to the Mighty Sun God that ya'll have a safe travel and a hell of a time at the track.

[SUM650]

if we stagger in does it still count as one group or do we need to arrive together?

All 10 of you need to be there together to get the discount.

[Mike]

Question now is when and where to meet up. Also, if we stagger in does it still count as one group or do we need to arrive together?

We just need to show up to pay at the same time.

2 seats 1 trailor slot open. Smokeing!!!!!!!! this truck doesnt ride on thanks! I talked to kenny we are ABOVE the ten needed. Im going to champion now.

Got some intrest from some zx-10r buddy's. 3 will let me know tomorrow. damn.... that will make 15...

[donny]

:tired: So what time is everyone arriving at Jennings? When is everyone leaving and where is everyone staying?

Crashing in the pimp my ride backyard builders trailor. hey hey if this trailor s a rockin lol
I kinda want to get out early but dont know where im going. never been to that area of flo town... so i may ride out with kenny and them around 4 or 5. but if anyone is interested in haulin ass early let me know. Donnie fix the damb trailor light's now not saturday!

[SUM650]

I usually stay at the day's inn Lake Park Ga.. The # is 229-559-0229. Tell them u are a racer and you are going to Jennings GP. They should give you the discounted rate of about $40 / nite. You figure that you should get 3 people into a double room, so that's only like $15 / person if you include the taxes.

[Red_R6]

Hey, hope everyone has a great time that goes! You guys and gals be careful and speed safely!

lol

Jennings falls to %10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rain rain go away!

[Mike]

I'm packing aaaaall my new photo gear. Expect some good shots from this weekend :wtg:

Hey im bringin my lap top to dump pic's in!

Got lot's more just wanted ya'll to have something to wake up to.

...........more

[SUM650]

Who the he%% took those pics, you talking about beautiful! The second one is so crisp, sharp and colorful. Randy you look good on the pics for a newbie.

[burns]

Well how did everything go?????

Uhhh i had a good time. matt blew his motor. so that sucked. If i had to say anything bad about it..... There were sooo many people there that Pro's had to sign up for novice. so the learning curve was shoved Dramaticly up! Kenny told me that this wasnt normal though. The track was just packed. I would recomend anyone who was planing going to a track day for there first time to go when were haveing a hard time finding people. This way the race pace isnt SOOO fast. more time to soak stuff in.
I lost my usb adapter for my laptop but we looked over the pics. I got mike draggin knee on turn 12 on the sv. Jason same turn on the street fighter also. Got kenny's bike but no kenny. he was on the other side of it. lol WILL BE POSTED BY TONIGHT!

more.

[Mike]

A damn good, and safe, time was had by all.

As usual, I shot lots of pics. This being my 2nd time out there shooting, I can say that I've improved, but still have a long ways to go, especially towards consistency (hmm, kinda like my performance on the track :help: ).

Here are some of my favorites from this weekend.

Most are around 1/9th their original size. I did some post-processing, resizing, and cropping. The rest of the images will be available in the gallery in a few days (not months, like last time :hic: ).

[Kat_Mac]

Hey Guys. Remember that 12 year old kid that was whooping everyone's ass in the corners during the expert laps (Mike's 7th picture down)? Here's a link to his site. (http://www.pj99.com/pages/3/index.htm)

[mandingo]

[burns]

Who is that old goat with the camera? :lol:

Great photos!! Wish I could have gone.

[New Englander all the way]

Mike K as always your photos are amazing! I can't wait to see all of the pictures that you took. You make all the pictures that the photographer too at the track look awful! It was a good day at the track. We should all make it a complete weekend trip next time!

[ccs273]

good shots mike, wish I didn't have to work so I could have gone with all of you!!!!!, oh well maybe next time

shitty pic but here's mike puttin it down on barry's sv.

lol wow my leathers fit in mikes pics! that is a awsome camra!

Kat, she is still playing on the hundred. {tiny dirt bike} dont think she is ready for the street much less the track.

[jason 41]

hey lets see some of me and matt.......PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike]

Hey all, thanks for the compliments.

I'm putting the album together as we speak, so a little more patience and it'll be up. The pics in the album are small, and have some legal crap across them (this was strongly suggested to me by someone), so if you spot a pic that you really want, PM me, and I'll get it to you.

Jason and Matt, what were you guys riding? I know at some point I saw Kenny on Jason's bike, and Matt on Kenny's bike, but that's about all I could see...

[Mike]

OK, pics are up!

http://dkf2.com/albums/2006%2001%2022%20Jennings%20GP/index.html

[SUM650]

Hey if the people from Charleston see pics on one of the pages, let us know what page you are on, the color of your bike and leather/helmet color.

[burns]

Those were some great photos you took there Mr. Mike. You even got some of our old bikes. With all the photos taken were you able to get some good track time in yourself?

[CBRjunkie]

Nice pics. You did a good job to take that many pics and keep almost every single one of the exactly in the frame. :yeah:

I think my trigger finger would cramp up from taking that many pics. :wink:

[Mike]

Thanks :)

My trigger finger was fine, but my left arm and shoulder were killing me from holding up the gear :hmph:

[jason 41]

I cant believe it no pics of me in the whole album...........maybe next time

[CBRjunkie]

Jason doesn't deserve pictures.

[Mike]

I cant believe it no pics of me in the whole album...........maybe next time

Jason, I didn't even know what you were riding. Sorry man.





Next time I'd like to get together with ya'll, and have a clear idea of who's riding what, what they'll be wearing, etc, that way at least I'll have something to go by.

[the_MAC]

jason was probably too slow for you shutter speed, anyway...haha!!

[jason 41]

This coming from the guy who ran thirty's and thought he was going fast. Get your game up lil homie

[SUM650]

This coming from the guy who ran thirty's and thought he was going fast. Get your game up lil homie

That's mean Jason, I know a fatboy who ran 29's on a 68 hp SV.

[jason 41]

But wait, in all fairness. He was the best novice out there. :lmao:

when's the next one?

[ccs273]

damn I want to go, guess I'll have to bring the BUSA

[jason 41]

you would be better of on a fifty!!!

[CBRjunkie]

I'll have to bring the BUSA

Don't think they allow rolling chicanes at jennings.

[ccs273]

Damn Matt, didn't thionk I was that slow!!!!!
