    The rules and reasons are clear. But, in various orgs, I see control riders running glycol-based antifreeze in their bikes. During the winter, I've been guilty of a few TDs with glycol. Simply because trailering my bike for hours, exposes it to the cold NE winter weather to GA and FL. Also...

    NCBike: Hotel recommendations

    Used to stay at the red roof inn before I learned to sleep at the track (which is your best option). Always seems to be a persistent smell of bug spray but had no bug sightings. Your trailer / bikes are safer being dropped off at NCBike for the night.

    Schedule for WERA round at BARBER?

    The WERA schedule shows the Barber Motorsports Park runs from 10/19-22 (thursday through sunday). Question: is the 19th (thursday) a track day / full practice day at Barber? I see nothing on any of the schedules anywhere.

    Does the CCS/AMA Race License work for WERA?

    My 2 cents: Neither WERA nor CCS honor the others race license. They may use to license to determine if you're Expert or not.

    ATP vs YCRS ATP: what's the diff?

    Thanks. The The 9/30-10/1 is tempting. The only lingering question I have is this: does it make sense for me to take a riding course at the near-end of my riding season? I may not ride again, and apply my learnings, until next Spring.

    PittRace "Red Flags" and the kink, questions?

    I think the chicane would be more problematic. TBH, I never noticed the chicane when I rode PIRC last year. But here's a 5-second video of the chicane at PIRC: And here's the map:

    WERA minis at PittRace?

    Quick question: are the minis running the same course as the bigger bikes? Or are the minis using the kart track? Just wondering what kind of speeds are "safe" for a mini, esp an Ohvale which has a twitchy wheelbase at "kart speeds".

    Is it possible to have a mirrored face shield resurfaced?

    The title of this thread probably says it all. My Arai face shield is scratch up, faded or worn-thin spots on it. Has anyone ever had one resurfaced? If so, where and how much?

    Intermediate and Not Riding Track-only Bike?

    This (below) -- all of this -- from @bmart. And we haven't even touched on bike transport. But, in any case, if you start doing enough track days, you'll appreciate having a track-only bike that is more durable and ready to go when the mood hits you.
