PM Brian on the tire thing. He called me a couple weeks ago, and I just got a set delivered last week, sitting by the door in a box ready to go to the track this weekend. Good deal.
Dunlop also has season end blowouts (maybe not the best term to use lol) on all their AMA spec tires, from what I understand it's valid at any authorized Dunlop dealer.
Back to the thread.. I have not posted up my thoughts on the changes this year, which is out of character for me. So now I will.
#1 2nd B group meeting. Good thing.
#2 Body Position classes Marshall Skloss was running. Good thing. I think that's one of the main things that got me up to speed for I group. I held the bike while him and Jason Farrel were doing their lecture, the next weekend I got bumped to I. The show & tell thing.. that simply works.
#3 Names on shirts. Good thing, but it needs to be on the lower part (ass area), not up on the shoulders because the shirts get bunched up when the CR's are riding. Maybe put their bike # on their shirt's "ass" area so you don't have to buy new shirts? That'd be good enough, quicker to read going through a corner, anyway.
#4 Ian's video sessions. That's awesome. He surprised me at BHF, picked me at random one session when no one signed up. Then he did the same thing to a buddy of mine at Putnam. I liked his video thing so much I started running video as well so I could study my own lines. His lets you study everything though, braking, turn in, body position, lines.. the works.
Ian's a nice guy. He also taught my buddy and I how to properly load a bike in to a pick up truck using coolers and ramp.
#5 I saved the best for last.. the CR introductions at the beginning of the day. This was fantastic because I have some mental problem that makes me hesitant to walk up and ask someone their name. Dunno why. Anyway, this alone made approaching CR's to ask questions that much easier. It also makes me feel like less of an ass if I forget their name between events, because it'll get said again at the next one.
Anyway.. one more weekend to go in the midwest.. it's been an awesome year so far.
