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

Get yourself a tent man and sleep at the track the night before.

Also I would like to see a worker program where I, work and get a discount. Hell I would go to ther shop and help out or change tires, or corner work etc if it made it cheaper

Or clean and lube my bike's chain...or wash my bike. :lol

I think the people who want to ride track are the same ones who will buy a suit and proper gear. The problem is that many states has no twisties, so most of the people they ride with stunt of pose and have little interest in doing track. So if none of your friends ride track, then you probably won't either.

The issue is cash. I agree 100% with Derf. Low entrance fees get people to the track, not some all in one deal. Most people can get a truck, buy gear etc...but they cannot continue to pay for a 200 dollar track day.

I don't camp ;)

If you crash at the track and have to explain it to insurance, its a "Rider Improvement" course...just saying. :wink:

If you crash at the track you lie and say you crashed on the street.....don't ever say you were at the track even if it is a track school. you're just asking for problems...

I'm glad the "track is too expensive" talk has moved on to the inevitable "insurance fraud is ok" discussion.

I saw some vid of a td at Streets out here that was run at night. That track isn't lit, they brought in a bunch of portable lights. Good idea, but too many dark spots (on the video). Did you hear about another one, or this one? I think it's a great idea, the sun just kills me out there.
