Grover at Sage has done a full zipper and patches on my suit. Also patched a glove of mine. All were done at the track. I know others that had suit work and cleanings done by him too. Great guy, quality work.

They all are fun. North, South, Patriot(CW and CCW and with or without the esses at the top ), Full and Grand, so you can't go wrong with any of them. Grand was fun but makes for a long lap.

It's a tough track to get dates for. Every bike/car club and race series has had dates there for years and get preference on open dates, especially weekends. Only open dates are typically week days. I love VIR as much as a lot of people do so I'm with you on getting dates there too.

Summit Jefferson, JenningsGP and some of the Pocono circuits can be run in either direction. Team Pro-Motion did NJMP Lightning counter clockwise once. It was ok but not ideal. After someone bumped the wall about 2 feet past the airfence it was never done again.

Add in the bridge that would be at the exit of T1 in that direction.

Design Star 3 does some good work too https://www.designstar3.com/ They are in the same building as Justin at Trackside Parts Club and MDM

Realize too that NCBIKe was built as a test track, so it has almost everything and most turns and straights are different. Bike track days started there years later. Hence why it is a great track to hone your skills on. It is still used as private test track for cars. On the curbing, Realize...

All tracks are just turns and pavement so nothing to be intimidated by. Find a CR to show you the line and have fun. Only track I ever found intimidating was the left at the top of Corkscrew at Laguna. My first words were "Oh Sh1t!" then I laughed and laughed each time went though it after that.

I use the Alpinestar back protector and a Bohn chest protector, has a extra pad on the chest and wraps around my ribs. Doesn't cover all my ribs but a good portion of them. I know the Forcefield stuff that Omar mentioned is good too.

There are a lot of us that need that too.:)

Walls are the biggest issues and you'd need a lot of air fence or blocks to cover all the walls. TPM used to used 3 sections of the blowup airfence at all the Pocono tracks (besides east and southeast) and where ever they were placed someone just missed them. Some were not hurt others weren't...

There are a lot more car clubs and racing series than bikes so catering to them is normal.

I've rode my KLX330SM on Summit Shenandoah and Jefferson (long version on a R2R days). It was fine in the turns but even with the small track it and I were in the way on the straights. I did ride it at Sandy Hook, Maryland track, (mini bike and kart track), and it was fine there.

Talk to RJ at Hazardous leathers, he made my Minion suit. https://hazardousracing.com/product-category/suits-leathers/

https://www.designstar3.com/ Are out of PA but are 2 hours from NJMP and do full wraps for bikes, cars, trucks and trailers. Wraps are pretty common these days and most auto body shops do it too.

I rode with STT many years ago at Mid Ohio , in the Monte years, and had a great time. I did coach a few co events with them and TPM at VIR a few times and at Barber and Road America. All were great days. Would love to Mid Ohio again too. However the covette museum this year is on my todo list...

Also qualifies for ARMRA vintage racing too

Your going to get a lot of information your first day so riding a bike your comfortable on would be helpful. And like Judy said use it to see if you like trackdays. I started on a gs500 and today on the smaller tracks like Shenandoah and Jefferson I use my KLX300sm (baby motard)

3 years ago I converted to the Pitbull so after 20 years of strapping bikes down to trailer and in truck beds. I've used similar methods to what you do too and all worked fine. As long as you get to and from the track it's all good.

2 ramps works best or I used to have a ATV ramp that was the full width of the bed. I've seen cooler and crates kinda work on small and mid size trucks but most full size trucks are too high of a step to make with just a crate. Another CR has a lifted full size truck and uses 2 ramps too.
