Hey my Names Ken, I have been riding for almost 10 years, thought i would give the track a try on my bike, I wont be the fastest since my bike is a old kz750 but I'm out to have fun. I have done karting and did pit crew for the porsche club so i know a lot of the east coast tracks and have an idea on how the mechanics of everything works so hopefully that helps a little, If anyone could help me with some questions on tech for the bike like how the numbers need to be and crank case venting and battery venting need to be thanks.

Thanks, i put a tread up in the paddock for the tech questions, figured that would be the best place. I see your in NJ, how is NJMP? haven't been there since the opening day for Grand AM, no grass to be seen that weekend........

Think thats going to be my first event, Jefferson is too far for a first time, thats a overnight for me, but it probably suits my bike better, tighter and less straight speed

How far of a ride are you from Millville? It's a great track for any size bike I think. I still want to get out there on a 250 one day :)

From the ville! I'm out near KoP and come out to the United sports center out there every Thursday. Let me know when you're hitting NJMP and we can pit together if you need any help. Welcome!

Check out the Twisted Core banner up top. I wear their pants and shirts all summer and love them even in the 90 degree heat. Before that, I was in Under Armour and had no issues either. Top notch gear! Also makes it easier to get in & out of your leathers.

This. :agree:


Started in under armour and now love twisted core. Markbilt sells it at NJMP events I believe. Trying to get leathers off without this stuff SUCKS!

Underarmour or similar. Long sleeves and pants, even in the summer heat. That way, the leathers don't stick to you and are easily removed. Plus the Underarmour is compression and wicks the sweat away.

Many moons ago, in a land far away before the invention of Underarmour, I got stuck in a pair of leather pants at the track. Someone had to help pull them off. Thought I was going to have to drive home in them, LOL.

On street rides in the summer, if I have just the leather jacket on with a T-shirt, it sticks to my elbows and it's difficult to remove. And the jacket isn't at all tight in the arms.

Pitt Race in Wampum? Formerly known as BeaveRun? Great track, one of my favorites. Some sections are getting a bit bumpy, but it's not awful. I love the layout!
