Who's coming out to play.  $75.00 day on Friday.  $80.00 day with Dave Moss and my bikes Suspension.  

Saturday and Sunday will be pretty cool.  3 days in a roll.  I might have to camp on Friday till Sunday.  What a way to end the riding season.   3 day Track Day.

The number of days I am going will depend on my bank account! (An emoticon related with the dollar sign would be awesome right now, Mr. Green!  ;D ;D)

I really wanna go for Friday, with this price  :2cents :2cents!! What a deal! But my question is: What time will the track be hot? Noon? 9 AM? I know that Dave Moss will work on people suspension from 10 to 11AM (right?) but am a little confused on what time should we get there. Hope it is at noon cause I have a meeting on Friday morning at 8AM and would be  :hbang if I had to miss the day because of that!

Track Will go hot at NOON.     Dave Moss if your not in his class will set your suspension up one time.  Then he'll be working with his students after that for the rest of the day.  That's what I was told.   I'll get a confirmation from him today. :flagSSA

I want to make sure I'm clear on the program, since it's a deviation from the norm, for the future reference of myself and others.

Let's assume I'm NOT doing the Dave Moss seminar.

Friday, 10/8/10
$75
12pm - 5pm, two group (A & B/C) 30 minute sessions.
That's five 30 minute sessions for a total of 150 minutes of riding.  (vs seven 20 minute sessions for a total of 140 minutes in a normal 3 group full day.)

Saturday and Sunday are regular, standard SSA Track Days.

Is all this correct?

And considering all of Dub's assumptions, what time will registration and Tech Inspection start? (Forgot to ask that on my previous post...)
Title: Re: Roll call Friday Oct. 8th, Sat. Oct. 9th and Sun Oct. 10th
Post by: A DRAGON on September 21, 2010, 11:40:01 PM
Sorry Dub.  Track goes cold at 6 p.m.  So that adds another 30 minutes to your riding.  And yes you are correct. 


JP  Registration and Tech should open around 10:00 That should give everyone time to get it together.

Sweet; so six 30 minute sessions.

I'll tell my boss tomorrow not to expect me at work on Friday the 8th.

I'll make one of those days. Friday the B&C ride together?
Friday would be awesome but not sure if I can pull it off, Sat or Sun will be for sure.
Last weekend was my first time on the track, it was amazing and I gotta go again before season closes so I'll be there for one of these days!

 :headscratch  Four days ago is was announced.  Dave Moss was showing up.  A three day SSA Track Day weekend.  Then the next thing you know.  Canceled.

This is why I stick to group rides.  The only one who cancels my rides would be Mother Nature.  :rainday

That's a terrible reason not to ride the track.  Cancellations are extremely rare and almost always out of the providers control.  I know that if Jerome had any way to make it happen he would have.  SSA will have a weekend on the 22nd and 23rd.  It's only two more weeks to wait.

I think Jerome is working on that. Bad timing, as not only John Wood did not give Jerome adequate warning time to cancel the event, but he is also traveling and probably no access to a computer.

Oneup, I was just kidding about that, but I would consider myself a bigger fan of the open road, since I sport/tour a lot.

Wow, just got back from last night and I read this first thing this morning......what a start to the day. This cancellation was due to something that was out of our control and unfortunately it makes us look bad. Sorry to everyone who was looking to join us for a few days on the track...... :(

Just got this in my email for those who already took time off. (Hopefully i wont get beat up for posting this.)
(EDIT: i took out all the bad words!)


***### has accepted October dates that have become available at the last minute.  This will be our final event at Reno Fernley Racetrack, this year.
Great times at with great people at GREAT prices :)
Members of all clubs are warmly invited to attend!

Friday October 8th- $80
Friday track hours from 12-6pm
Saturday October 9th- $120
Track time from 9-5, with a 2 group format
Sunday October 10th- $120
Track time from 9-5, with a 2 group format

Here's where it get's fun. . . :o
Two Day Package for just $190
(Choose the days that work best for YOU!)
THREE DAY PACKAGE is just $250


So far, It looks like we'll run a 2 group format. If the 2 group format appears like it would be too congested we won't hesitate to divide into a three group format for comfort and safety of everyone.

These prices will remain constant, and there is no pre-registering required.
HOWEVER, We'll turn on the paypal because it makes 'check-in' MUCH more efficient.
Anyone who pre-registers will get a 'pat-on-the-back and a thank you' from the registration team (redeemable anytime)
USE paypal, if you change your mind at the last minute, we'll refund you the full amount.
Pretty cool of the ***### leadership team to try to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

These days just fell into our laps and ***### would love to spend one final track event of the year with our friends!!!

I took the time off work already but going out those dates with them depends on how those days fell into there laps? 


Anyone?

The cancellation of the SSA days really is something that Jerome needs to explain so we will have to wait until he gets back to do it. The whole thing happened just as Jerome was leaving on vacation so he never got a chance to adequately address some issues.

But since it WAS canceled, RFRT called the other group and offered them the dates (short story), therefore, it 'fell in their laps'. RFRT could have offered the dates to the car groups, but from my understanding, since it was already a motorcycle weekend, and riders had already scheduled to be there, they would keep it motorcycle. There are some 'other opinions' on this matter floating around, but this is the story in a nutshell.

The thing is, THIS weekend event is a temporary thing, and once Jerome has a chance to meet with the track upon his return, I am confident the SSA will be able to hold all it's future events. So I don't think anyone is trying to keep any secrets, but with Jerome drinking margarita's and enjoying the beaches in Mexico, not much can really be said "officially".

Hey guys. Thanks for all the understanding for why I haven't posted all week.  Just trying to recover from vacation. 

This situation really sucks.  :rant I don't like it one bit.  :hbang But  things have happened that are not all my control.  I'll have a general meeting in a few weeks.  I'll announce it when Alberto gets back from Japan.  There are some things I have to let you all know about.  So just be cool.  You'll get the whole story then.  Until then I do apologize for all the inconvenience all this has caused anyone.  Posting up out dates are canceled is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Thanks again for all your understanding of me being out of the country.  What a terrible time to announce a vacation.  Regina wanted to go to Mexico for her birthday.  Way to big for me to cancel that trip.  Thanks again for your understanding.  I've posted on our website as well as SCR.  If you have a track day certificate it will be honored next year.  Your still good. :respect  If you have paid in advance for a track day you'll will be receiving a refund.  Let me know if it doesn't go through. :thanks :thanks

anyways, there's STILL gonna be motorbike trackdays this weekend with SBK775.  we're all friends here (or at least should be), so i'll be seeing you guys this weekend!  even though i still have a broken wrist, Dr Quinn, medicine woman (and by that, i mean ME) has cleared me to ride. *giggles* i'll have the gixxer with me this weekend. BOOYAH!

tell regina i said happy b'day!!! <3 <3 <3
