If I was a local, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. For us, a single day just track time is $150, or $130 if you sign up early. Thats not including gate fee, fuel, travel time and cost, hotel if you dont live nearby, etc etc. $215 is a STEAL.

I'm working on the next Thunderbolt date (Sept 1, which is a Wednesday) and then again Sept 6 (Monday, labor Day) for Shenandoah.

Excellent.

OTB, I'm sold. Pick me up in Vegas.

I like the idea of a package deal like that.

Never done a trackday, Id like to but the main reasons I havent done it are:

Transport - I dont have a truck or a trailer.
Leathers - I dont have any and Im sure Id need a custom made suit.
Crashing - I only have one bike and I dont want to crash it.

AWESOME deal OTB!! Do you pick up from ND?? :lol:

TD's around here are $185 just for the day, no instructor time. So by the time you figure trans to and from the track, you are at equal money, if not saving.

That's what holding me back, plus I don't have health insurance so a potential wreck would cost me way too much.

See if your insurance company covers wrecks at track days. Emphasize a track day is practice and there is absolutely no racing taking place. You're just trying to sharpen your skills in a much safer environment than the street.

I also am poor enough(going to college) that I qualify for VA health care so I really need to talk to them about what all they would take care of.

I've done one years ago and haven't gone back. Demo's don't count.

Other than money, I haven't gone back because its hard for me to be functional in the mornings. I forget when tech in was...7-8am? I just know that I had to be up at 5am to make it to the track at 6am.

I think the I read on my local board that they were going to hold track days at night to beat the heat? I thought that was a great idea, not only because its way too hot to be in leathers with the sun beating down on you, but also because night owls like me would be fully awake and functional by then :)

OTB if I could drag myself out of bed that early, I think your track package sounds awesome
