Alright guys, we're less than a month from the next SSA Track Day and I'm already looking forward for this.

But the way, the last Track Day I heard a lot of rumors about the gravel on the pavement.

In fact, I had some scratches at the upper headlight fairing and forks of my bike.

I do not know if I can but I really would like to stop bye at the track one weekend before of the next event to sweep the critical dirty areas.

Someone have others ideas to make our Track Days each time better and more fun?

Hi Josh.

Well, let's see what happen at the next time. Last time the wind gave a big contribution for grave on the asphalt. But the way, I haven't seeing any sweeper truck over there. Do you know if they have it? I saw a blower only.  ::)

Anyway, I'm still available to take a broom to clean it if necessary.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Also, at the next time we want to see Adiggty, Oneup, n10sive and scotinexcile on the track. We missed these fast guys...
:P :P :P

the track was dirty as hell sat morning...BAD dirty... then during lunch, they went and blew it off...it started creeping back on sunday though.  i caught many rocks to bike, lid, neck, arms, knuckles... 

me and mastalka were cranking out a buncha laps together and he nailed me with a proper ROCK...not just a piece of gravel, but a ROCK ROCK..big enough that i saw it coming and watched it hit me in the knuckle.  haha!

besides that... i had a buncha fun this past weekend. it took a few sessions for the track to "warm up to me" again, as it'd been so long since i'd last ridden it.  i guess i've been getting a little spoiled with the pavement i've been riding lately (mostly brand new pavement!)

Hi All,
We are and will be working with the track management to be sure it is improved. Removing and keeping down the dirt, pebbles, and that 1 knuckle finding rock will be found and put in prision for assault.  ;D 

Alright! Thanks Josh... :P

They are supposed to be doing something about the track pebbles. I believe they will be putting a fog down on the ashpalt going up hoot and hollar.
