Either your arm is going to be sore or there will be a heck of a traffic jam:saythat:trekuhl;103000 wrote: Acutally i will be CR'ing the I group, so no one is allowed to pass me without a wave by

Speaking for myself, i really don't think the I group needs a CR but it would be nice to follow someone who knows the lines and track for the first session or two of the first day. Not CRing, just riding slower so we can keep up.
If any of you A guys are working on something and want to ride off the A pace then jump down to I and tow some of us around, I'm sure we wouldn't mind.
I hope to bug someone who knows suspension so i can get mine tweaked and dialed in.
are any of the JGP locals signed up?

Don't worry Lee there will be a few guys there that can tow you guys around a bit.
The track is not a very difficult one to learn. Turn 1 is a double apex. Clip it a little early drift out and back to clip the back half of the turn. Respect the kinks. You're building a lot of speed through there and if you get lazy you can find yourself on the edge of the track quick. The hardest part is gaining the confidence to get through 3-5 faster and get most of your braking done right before 6. 7-11 benefits from a late apex to set yourself up better for the next turn and the drive out of 11. 12 is pretty fast and the last 2 turns make sure you clip 14 a little late on the exit to get the drive down the straight.

Dave's pointers are pretty good......especially regarding the kinks.....the edge of the track does come up really quickly if you get even a little lazy there. Really got my attention last year!
If anyone needs pointers regarding the best lines off the track at Jennings.....JJ can help with those

Watch out for turn 9. There is a sprinkler system that has a mind of its own. It claimed JJ and I.
Video of me(back when I use to ride) eating shit in 9:doh:. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbkmLKMSZJI

And figure out the whole wide open throttle thing too. Make sure you take extra tampons with you.:haha:

I tried telling people about the sprinklers but they didn't believe me

I've been trying to talk you into coming so I could just borrow some of yours.

Are there still spots open? Stacy is still toying with the idea of covering the trip for me, kind of a "thanks for being an awesome guy/amazing in the sack/having nice 'equipment'
present." track fee, fuel, beer, tires ......gets expensive fast.....might have to skip on tires to have extra beer money. It would be a lot easier decision for her if she got to go. But if its not warm enough for her to parade around in one of those child size bikini's she won't go.......which decreases my chance of going:nada:

Check with Dave, they might have an "I" spot open. I told someone I could take them, but I'm sure we could figure out a way to fit 3 bikes in my trailer.

I'll talk to the woman and see what she says

JGardy and I have room for two bikes and riders leaving from Springfield, VA if anyone needs a ride.
Is there an easy way to determine if i need tires? The set i have now were purchased from a trackdayer who used them for 2 days. They were in good condition when i got them, i would say i've put less than 1000 miles on 'em.
Should i just get a new set and mount 'em?
Oh yea, they're Pilot Power 2CT's and i'll be in the "B" (SLOWER) group most likely the entire weekend since this will be my very 1st time at the track

Post a pic of them, but if your tires are gonna be in the back of your head, you might as well get a new set for confidence.
