Yes indeed, sometimes. My boss and I have a rabid passion for playing hockey and guitars. He's now wanting to buy a "cheap" $500.00+ guitar. Wife says "no", something about two kids still in diapers...

Re the Shenny track, is it safe for bikes? Saw a YouTube vid and it looks tight.

As a wise man recently said to me, "we should be big enough boys to deal with the situation at hand. We're not racing, we're riding."

Just take 'er easy and it wont be a problem. Thats my outlook. (I have not seen or ridden it, but I had the asme concern as you.)

I saw a thread elsewhere about this (and walking thr track for inspection) but am using my phone right now to type. Am guessing that safety is the reason behind the reversed flow. Can someone elaborate on this change?

Yes indeed. I just added meds to my laundry list of things to bring.

No change. NESBA has always ridden JC clockwise. Run counterclockwise, a wall just beyond indicated "T1", above, comes into play.

I've rode Shenny many times, not a fast track but is a very fun once you learn it. It’s a very technical track filled with left hand turns, hard braking, elevation. My personal opinion you have to be riding completely over your head to hit a wall.

You gonna come sport your new orange shirt at JC or shenny?

From the email sent out by NESBA today, it sounds like they will be doing an official guided walk Saturday night.

 

[jtsgsxr6]

It's official I'm in for both JC and Shenny. Wifey and I are gonna go watch some horse racing sat night, it's her thing and makes her happy win-win for both of us!

That's a good compromise. I've found that having shopping outlets and flea/farmer's markets nearby are "wins" also.

Cool. I'm familiar with the clockwise direction and can visualize the track as I remember it years ago. Only concern I have is tires (and brakes, to a lesser degree). I'm contemplating the MAR-- school the day before (Friday) and that means much tire wear on on the right side. Will tire vendors be present at JC on Saturday?

I guess I should start (or search) a separate thread about tire/brake pad wear and replacement. Is a maximum of two track days a good rule of thumb for tire replacement on an '09 R6? Compared to the SV650 I borrowed, the R6 feels like it "chews" tires quicker.

 

[virtualsolitude]

Sorry for posting the same question in two threads. I got an answer back (about tire vendors) in this thread --> http://tracktalk.nesba.com/showthread.php?t=28872

I'm in for Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to it!

 

[jtsgsxr6]

As promised, video from my attempt to go dirt biking from 6th :I session Saturday. Still a little sore, essentially highsided in the grass. Got tire, got stupid, got in over my head trying to follow Will. I will be back to JC to figure out that darn corner.

Graceful! Glad the track marshals pulled up the grading stakes out there in the morning. They had all the grading stakes out for the new section of track they are adding and while putting up the cones one of the marshals drove by and said they were pulling up the stakes out there just in case someone goes off there. We didn't want to have a leather shish-kabob.:wow:
