Yup. Just don't forget to run lower pressures in your tires than you would on the street. Post up what tires you're running for suggestions. If you're running sticky "hypersport" street tires (examples are the Michelin Pilot Powers, Dunlop Q2, Bridgestone BT16, Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa), a general rule of thumb is to run 30 psi cold. That'll be in the ballpark. Someone here my have more specific pressure information on a brand/model of tire basis...

oh wait...did I just say that ?

I guess I've been trolling the WERA forums too long.
Oddly familiar here LOL JK.

But welcome to the NESBA family and the forums! Always good to see more chickies! I cant wait till my BF gets his stuff together so I can steal all his old stuff and do some track days myself! LOL

I also like doing 2 days (or more!) in a row. I figure, I've driven all that way...
Plus, I like having the second day to dial things in that I may have learned the day before.

I'm not sure what the temps are in Atlanta in April....

Welcome to NESBA. VIR is my favorite place to ride. Road Atlanta is not too shabby either!!

Temps at RA SHOULD
be really nice in late April but that is not a guarantee. A few years ago an early April date saw temperatures that did not get out of the mid 40s, but that was highly unusual.

Morning temps s/b in the low to mid 50s, afternoon up to around 80. Humidity should not be too oppressive at that time either.

Thanks for the welcome, but I'm not the noobie...chicrider is! :)

I'll keep that in mind, however, should I venture south again! I've been to both of those tracks and like 'em both a lot!!! Appreciate the info!

Yeah I guess I wasn't clear. :eek: I meant to address "chicrider" but your response had the mention about Atlanta temps!

But hey, a "welcome" message to a veteran NESBA can't be all bad either, right?

Oh yeah, VIR gets HOT. VIR South back in July was 102. Bring some sort of shade and plenty of liquids.

Plenty of first timer threads out there, I'd suggest looking through in your free time, lots of good tips.

Welcome chick rider. Nice to see more women. I plan on doing the VIR full course in july. Judy you need to make the trek down there. That's a great course butt it'll probably be hot. It's my favorite because it's one of the larger tracks with good elevation changes.
I, like most, have a trailer that I sleep in with heat or ac when needed. You can book a room at the lodge if you stay overnight.
I usually do 2 days together for same reasons as stated before with traveling long distances.

Donna!! Long time no see. Hope to see you out there this year! The VIR full course is out for me in July, but I'll be at VIR north for the June dates. And of course NJMP, Summit, and da Beave.

Whatever motorcycle board you go to, if there's a thread started by a gal, it gets tons more views than others. It's internet nature or somethin' :D

Donna, Summit May is a no-go, but I'll be there July 4th weekend.
Noobinacan...see you at VIR N in June?

I think its more MALE nature than anything. I bet half the clicks came, saw no pics, and left.
