Myself and a few guys from work are planning on riding down and camping for the night. You would be welcome to ride and hang with us. We plan on starting out early Saturday and meeting somewhere in Carson and taking 50 or possibly 88 over. PM me if your interested.

Sorry I clicked reply instead of the link to respond to the pm. PM sent.
I'll be driving down on Saturday. If you need me to bring back anything for you. I can do it. I'll also be at Turn 9. The best spot to watch the race. See you there
anyone going solo or wanting to get in the pits? a Canadian racer from my CBR forums is looking for a set of hands to help his gf in the pits. i was gonna go but may not be able to get out there.
Going as a twosome, ZX-9r & ZZR-1200 Saturday afternoon. GF wants to stay behind.
Just going for an overnighter, Sunday race, then return on Sunday. I think we're gonna try 207 to Hwy 50, since we'll be starting from Gardnerville. Interested in knowing some other cool routes we could take and/or possibly meeting up with fellow SSA members for some riding time. ZZR rider is quite slow on twisties, but can catch up on straights. Hwy 88 looks interesting too. Hmmm.
Last time I was there, Fred Merkel and Wayne Rainey were running 750 Superbikes. The race after the race was memorable. Good times! (http://kawasakiworld.com/images/smilies/bikes/zxgreen.gif)
Mrs and i are going on Sunday, we are driving over though.
I'll be on ahhhh...well this is the first time I have been to infineon, so I dunno where I'll be..turn 9?
Wow! Sounds pretty god ride to me... I'm planning to get in too!!! Is there one more vacancy for the motorcycle group that is leaving on Saturday morning?
Thanks
Let's all meet at the Kink on Turn Nine. 20 Minutes after lunch begins on the Track. That is one of the best viewing areas on the track. You can see every turn and Start/Finish Wear your SSA Shirts so we can find you.
Just saw where Z2 was adding a trackday on the 14th at Infineon for a discount due to short notice.
So you can go a little earlier and sneak in a trackday too!
I am heading over with another bike on Friday morn, if anyone wants to join us. Call me.
We should arrange a meet spot at the race for everyone.
Will be heading home on Sunday...hook-up for the return??
I am not on-line all the time, and will be working the race,so bring my # and call me.

I might make it on Sunday.

There is plenty of room for the group heading down Saturday morning. We will be going either 88 or 50, not sure which. PM me if you want to go with us and I will let you know what time and where we are meeting up on Saturday.

Just fy'si, above turn 2 is a really good spot too. Have fun boys. :)
Give Me a disc and you'll get a T-Shirt. See you at the Kink on Sunday.
hey Bovine,
Do you know when you and your friends are heading out on Sat Morning???
that way we can get a some idea of who from SSA would be able to make it on that morning ride out.
thanks
Remember you don't want to be on Hwy 37 after 10:00 it gets pretty congested. Hwy 37 is the road when you exit the freeway at Vallejo

I am thinking of heading down Saturday as well. Not sure yet but its a maybe. Which way are you thinking of getting to 50 or 88? And what time are you thinking of leaving in the AM?
I will be there Sunday, never been to infineon, so i will be lost. :-\
Cobra all you need to know is Turn 9 is the best place to watch. If you drive load up you Duc to get around the track. It's to big to walk where ever you want to go.
I'm taking my SV and my bicycle. If you just drive they have a shuttle to take you around the track. It just takes to long for me when I want to go. Call me on my cell when you get there. I'll hook you up.
who here is in the G_VILLE/CARSON area that wants to leave on sat morning?
i am in carson and was hoping on heading out that morning out through 50.
if anyone is leaving from reno it takes about the same time going through i-80.
please let me know and i will get a list together for friday so that we dont leave any one behing.
BOVINE, you had mention there was a camp site near the race way, do you know the name?
Thanks.

Sorry Dragon, got one room in Fairfield Saturday, but would have taken one off your hands otherwise. I bought my SSA shirt last Tuesday. See y'all at turn 9 Sunday. Whoohoo! ;)
OK. I'm going to cancell 1 room. I have the other one taken. Thanks for thinkin g of me all. See you at turn 9
If anyone is interested in riding down with us on Saturday, we are meeting in the parkinglot outside the JCPenny in Meadow Wood mall @745am. We will be picking up Carson area people @ 830am in the parkinglot outside the soon to be Sportsmans Warehouse in south Carson across from the Fandango. We will then be taking Hwy 50 on over the mtn. A few of us will be camping as well. If your interested bring a sleeping bag and aprox $10- $15 to split site fees.
Monday Post - Great weekend!!
That was some of the most competitive racing I've seen state side. Uncharacteristically hot for Sears Point though. Saw Dragon there getting autographs and went over for the meet up at turn 9, but nobody showed. Probably because the seating was in the searing heat (no shade), so I don't blame anyone. Watching the Superbike race from turn 9 was awesome, Mladin and company would wheel skip the front of the bike over the downhill crest, then skip the rear tire going into the turn. :o
The biggest non-surprise was the $20 two lap parade for anyone who wanted to tour the track. Yeah, you know what's coming... Someone mid-pack decided to exhibit how fast they were, going past the start/finish line, crashing into another bike, then the carnage from that took out another innocent bystander exiting turn one. :-[ From the grandstands you could see what was coming; bunched up riders wanting to show off and REALLY get their $20's worth. I hope nobody got seriously injured. I think there were 4 riders and three bikes involved. Fortunately the ride after the race down 37 was the tamest I've ever seen after a race and the ride home on Hwy 50/28/I-80 was uneventful. No one in my group of four got tickets and no incidents. Just a lot of safe-and-sane fun.
Man I am Jealous. I should have gone. Souns like I missed out on some fun and I hate when that happens. >:(

So there were SSA people at turn 9 on Sunday? Ended up scrounging a broken umbrella out of a trashcan and making it work to keep us out of the shade. Guess I will have to go on a few rides so that I can recognize someone next time :)

LOL
Many thanks for the EZ up!!
Mrs. and I were there at turn 9 Sunday, good day, got to talk to Danny Eslick and Michael Barnes. Watched the Moto GP race on the big screen tele in the Buell area, bought Jamie Hackings gloves at the charity auction.
We will be at Miller for WSB, I am gonna put the SSA sticker (it's humungus) Jerome insisted I take form the booth ar BVH open house day, on the back of the travel trailer. If it is nearly as hot at Miller as it was at Infineon, we will have shade, Chairs cold drinks and such.
Any of you in the SSA are invited to stop by.
Jerome if you have a banner I would like to borrow it, put that on the trailer as well.
EH he he Dont get mad Alberto.....
Visited my sister in Navato on Sat, went to races Sunday ...
I took this photo for you........ Alberto!!
My sister inadvertantly coined my bike a "Paste Rocket". First she says oh you ride one of those rice rockets? I had to correct her, remind her the Ducati is made in Italy; so she a says oh so it's a Pasta rocket!!!!
