    Autobahn or BHF

    I live in Cincinnati and I am looking for new track options for 2013. I started track days several years ago with NESBA and am to the point that I would like to start sampling different midwest tracks. So far I have ridden Putnam (a lot), Mid-Ohio, Nelson Ledges and BeaveRun (Pitt Race). I...

    Would you come back to NESBA?

    :agree: This is my point, if they had financial difficulties as was stated. They could have restructured management, tracks, dates and pricing. If tracks are not negotiating in good faith as was rumored, talk to other tracks. Shutting down should not be a top ten solution.

    Would you come back to NESBA?

    Undecided, I'm still upset with the way we were treated which means the difficulty members had getting their membership fees reimbursed, sudden cancellation (yes there was writing on the wall with the declining dates) and lack of a REAL answer as to why they were folding in the Midwest. As far...

    Tentative Putnam Dates Getting Smaller

    Thats the answer! NESBA should buy Bluegrass and finish the track. Then we would get ALL of the prime dates! Send donations to... :D

    Tentative Putnam Dates Getting Smaller

    I counted three NESBA dates on the BHF calendar and zero on the NESBA MW calendar. I count that as three tentative. The problem for me is I will ride with a different org. before driving 8 hours one way for a track day.

    Tentative Putnam Dates Getting Smaller

    Last year we had a similar thread and Fred Duncan chimed in briefly. The Midwest seems to hold the card closer to their chest than your region. I thing that "No news is bad news". I looks bad for the future of the midwest. When I joined in 2010 we had Putnam once a month, yes once a month...

    No Putnam??? No SED's???

    Hey Fred any new on adding SED's at any tracks? My impression is that at this point you cannot change any of the current events to an SED since you would be eliminating 2 run groups.

    Braking zone technique

    Thanks Barry and Matt. No I don't blip. Sound like I need to learn the blip and move back the brake point so I can setup my entry speed better. (All those fast guys tell me smoother is faster) Being a beginner I probably am to stiff and have too much weight forward. I am also challeged with...

    Braking zone technique

    Can you break down the proper sequence of events more indepth when coming off of a straight and getting in to the turn concerning proper downshifting? Being a beginner I struggle with not matching rpm and gear when downshifting and tend to slide the rear a bit. This forces me to brake sooner...

    No Putnam??? No SED's???

    Does anyone know why there is no Putnam Park dates for 2011? I checked their schedule and it is filled up until Sept. with no NESBA dates. http://putnampark.com/Schedule.html It would be terrible for us in the Ohio Valley to lose this track. Also didn't see any SED's on the schedule. I was...

    Bluegrass MP

    I know this has been discussed in several threads but I would like some administrative feedback. What is the status of NESBA getting dates booked at BMS? Are you working on it, is the BMS management nonresponsive/cooperative, etc? It is difficult to assertain what is even going on at BMS since...
