chris, if ya want, ill call robert or bob and see if they can toss you in somethin nice.

[Prostreet1]

Gonna drive the cage out with the wife to watch you guys just for the day Saturday...:mytruck:

[flamingemu]

I will be there Saturday as well and I think my wife is coming too, so I won't be splitting a room with anyone. This is a great opportunity for people to come out and see what a track day is all about. Let's try to get a group out there and maybe do some BBQing at the same time.

[fastlane]

Maia and I will be there for sure on Saturday and Sunday. I'm staffing for Novice both days. Grattan does fireworks Friday night still, right?.

Chris - when are you going to be giving demo's on your new 848? :motorbike2:

I was at Road America Monday and Tuesday - hit 157 mph (personal best) which I apparently stole from my cornering speed - I was a total turtle in the turns.... :rant:

Nelson sounds like a plan...I can grab some dogs and burgers and buns if you guys want to bring the condiments??..unless you want to bring something else..I figure I can bring enough for everyone who shows?? It would be nice if we can get somewhat of a head count of who of Redline is going??

[jgreen]

I will be there for Saturday and Sunday as well. Dave, let me know if you want to split a room. I should have the trailer set up for 2 bikes by then as well, so we can ride out together as well, if you want.

Let me know.

Chris, you bought it?!?!?!? Nice.

See you all there, looks like we will have a pretty good group.

It's in Elkhart Lake, WI aka the middle of nowhere about 7 hours from here. The AMA Superbike races were there last weekend so STT had a couple of days right after...It's a 4 mile long track and is really fast (and really slow in the chicane...)

Did you know Matt Mladin has someone who personally takes care of his Scorpion helmet at the races? The idea was mind-boggling to me...

[DemonRR]

Jon, sounds good. you wanna book the room or do you want me to?
also, riding out there is a great idea, but how am i gonna get my bike to ya, then off to grattan?

[jgreen]

We can work it out. If we go out Friday Night, no issues, I'll just come out sometime on Friday, and we can get stuff loaded up and go.

If we go out Saturday AM, I can come out Friday night, load everything up, and either crash on your couch, or pick you up at 5:00am, No biggie.

I thought he carried his own helmet through the pits so he doesnt have to stop and sign autographs. :rolleyes:

[kamikazejane]

Working there Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Whatever works, just let me know what you are going to do soon. My time is getting tight, and if you are not going to ride with me, I won't mess with the trailer. If you are, I will need to get me arse in gear.

[Flip]

I don't believe we have anything going on that weekend and a group bbq sounds like a blast! So count bre and I in! can you camp it at the race track? and does anyone camp it??

[Prostreet1]

ok...I am going to bring enough dogs and burgers and buns for a couple dozen peeps...is anyone going to bring anything else...and who if anyone is bringing a BBQ?? Nelson are you good with the condiments??

[AlmightyS]

Why not stop in at Grattan for a while on Saturday or Sunday? I will bring the spare leathers, and you can take 751 for a rip.

I am going to see if I can spectate on Sat with the others in the cheap seats.

[jgreen]

I know, but I didn't want to bust his chops too much. If he's gonna be out on the Busa, might as well swing in Grattan. :yellowrider:

I did the same thin last year. Took off fro 2 days, didn't tell anyone I was leaving (don't do that, people were pissed at me). I went west through K-zoo, and headed north up the Lake Shore. Up the Leelanaw Penninsula, and back down through Traverse City. Kept going north through the tunnel of trees. Put 980 miles on the bike in 2 days, it was awesome. Have fun, and be safe.

[jgreen]

I want to resurrect this thread, and get things firmed up for the group trip out there. It is looking like it is going to be a great time, and a bunch of people are interested in going.

Jane will be there all weekend working with STG. I believe she will be riding all 3 days as well. Chris and myself will be going out on Friday (not sure what time yet). We are driving seperately and both taking our trailers. We will be camping at the track all weekend. We will try and get our usual spot at the end of the lower paddock, so there is room for everyone. I am pretty sure Dave and Nelson are going at least 1 of the days. I believe Webb, and Prostreet1 are going to be coming to spectate. Nate and Bree are coming out to hang out and BBQ as well.

If you are definitely coming out, please post up with a yes, so we have a good idea. I know this will help some of the people that are bringing food for everyone.

Prostreet, if you need some money for the grub, let me know. I will chip in. Everyone feel free to bring chips or other snacks as well. Remember, it is $5 to get into the track. If you get there after 9:00, you may have to wait for them to open the gate, so try and get there before 9:00.

If anyone has any questions about how things work, feel free to ask Chris, Jane, or myself.

Thanks, and hope to see a bunch of people there representing Redline Superbike. :ridin:

Jon :deathmetal:

[flamingemu]

The wife and I (and the dog) will be there Saturday. I can bring whatever other food is needed (let me know), but I don't have any kind of a portable BBQ so that might be an issue. Anyone have one they can bring?

I have a portable grill to bring. :icon14:

[Prostreet1]

Lynn and I will be there for sure...just to spectate Saturday ( hope chris isn't right about us not bringing the bike :) ....and thanks Jon for the offer to pitch in...but we should be ok...I am bringing enough burgers and dogs as well as buns for about 2 dozen folks. Chris has got the BBQ handled...so all we need is the condiments as well as anything else peeps care to eat...I believe Lynn said she was gong to bring a salad as well. Not having been there before what types of beverages are allowed?? Plus if anyone else is headed out Saturday maybe we could convoy together??

Thanks Nelson. Just bring whatever you feel like bringing. Chips, pretzels, condiments, etc... Can't miss with burgers and dogs.

[flamingemu]

I'll bring the condiments, chips, cookies - that sort of stuff. I'll also bring enough water or Propel, pop and Gatorade to go around. Not sure what the policy on booze is, so I'd look into that if you're so inclined. Chris and Jane as well as Jon have EZ-UPs for shade, but it couldn't hurt to bring one if you have it as well as chairs.

[fastlane]

We're coming in Friday night. I can bring my EZ-Up and a coupla chairs. I have a generator...shall I bring that?

I have seen people with Beer before, but usually drinking after the riding is don obviously. If you are not riding, I don't have any issues with anyone having a beer or cocktail, but I would suggest consuming from a cup, so its not an issue.

There will be lots of soft drinks and water, like Nelson said.

This is gonna be fun.

I have a 3500 watt, and Jon has a 2000 watt, if you want to bring it it's ok, if not it's ok too, not sure why we would need more.

Who's gonna bring the Moon bounce thingy? :laughing:

Dave,

No worries brother. I decided to camp to save some money, and my last few experiences at the candlestone were less than stellar.

I just signed up for both days, so I will be there come hell or high water, and lets hope the high water doesn't happen. As mentioned before, bring whatever you think the masses might enjoy, as this will be a group gathering, and everyone is welcome to whatever I have.

If all goes well, I might have a 2nd bike with me.

See y'all then

Jon

[dnapowersports]

:deathmetal: I always stay in Grand Rapids - its not that far and nice hotels which are cheaper. I sure would like to go - Went a month ago and was totally worth the drive and money. YOu going through sport bike track time? I did tham and liked the training they gave besides the track time.

[DemonRR]

yes, thru STG. shit, i think even an elcheapo best western 25.00 hotel will have better/softer beds than the candlestone inn. shit, reminds me i have to make my reservation now.

that reminds me, anyone want to split the room?

I refer to it as the Bedrock Hotel or Flintstone Inn, but it's still better than camping. Maia and I are staying there but since you're a self-admitted freak ... :)

Sorry, I have not posted in a while, but I plan on being at Grattan the 5th and 6th. It all depends If I have my bike running in time. I do have a backup plan, with Scott at L7. So if all goes well, it will be a fun weekend.

Also, would any of you track junkies be interested in running Mid-Ohio at the end of July?

Intermediate, I hope...

[flamingemu]

Intermediate, I hope...

Actually, it's one of the All in Two events in the street group, so sort of Intermediate. You do get a LOT of track time that way - I can't wait.

[ilikebikes]

I'm signed up for the 28th and 29th. So, I should see everyone down there.

Since the 28th was opened to all bikes, they said I could take the Ducati stickers off my R6.:laughing:

That will be awesome!! The sport group only has the 6 ft passing rule...so it will be intermediate plus by the end of the day! :motorbike2:

PS Webb said you and I had the same assessment of Gingerman.

[flamingemu]

PS Webb said you and I had the same assessment of Gingerman.

Yeah, Gingerman was okay because it fit into my schedule this month, but I won't be rushing back there. Maybe once they kill all the weeds growing in the sealer strips, I'll think about it. :wtf:

i might have to look into the pricing. i might be able to put something together and make it out there. ive always wanted to run mid Ohio!!!!

[ilikebikes]

You will like Mid-Ohio. It's very technical, but not nearly the workout that Grattan is. And it is smooth, so smooth. You may want to sign up early, ideally, just after the first of July, Mid-O sells out fast.

And thanks to the advice given by Scott at L7, my bike is running!! Grattan here I come...

Where does Redline pit at Grattan?

[DemonRR]

hell yeah, scott and L7 are the SHIT!!!!!!

[flamingemu]

Where does Redline pit at Grattan?

We usually set up on the lower paddock near the bowl (turn 8); just look for the couple of people with large trailers and there should be a Redline banner flying as well.

Demon, I have a cam/mount you can use..And yes, Scott is awesome. He's getting my business right after Grattan.

Hey everyone,

As the weekend draws nearer, I just want to reming everyone that riding starts at 9:00am sharp. If you arrive after 9:00, you will have to wait to gain entry to the track. Try to get there before then if possible. The track opens at 7:00.

Also, it is $5 per person to get in.

PM if you have any questions.

***NOTE*** I was just on the STT forum, and noticed that pets Will NOT be allowed this weekend. I know some of you asked, and normally they are allowed, but not this weekend. Sorry.

[marc_padin]

For those that did not want to leave their "kids" at home for the track day... I just got off the phone with Grattan raceway a few minutes ago and they confirmed that pets are allowed as long as they are leashed at all times. :) I also called STT and they said that pet rules are imposed by the race track not by them.

would anyone have any objections to having a small redline meeting on saturday at the track. I know there are a couple "probies" that would like to get voted in!

Do the guys going out there Saturday want to meet up and ride out together??

Ok, here's the plan.

Meet up at exit 133 off I-96 at the Micky D's.
Depart at 6:30AM.

If I am reading the threads right with people riding and other things going on at the track it does not look like the grilling is going to happen until lunch.

So, I am proposing the backroads ride out. Taking Grand River to M52 up to Owosso and out 21 to 66 in Ionia up to 44 Belding Road out to Lessiter.

Let me know if anyone is in.

Regards,
Steve

As the weekend draws nearer, I just want to reming everyone that riding starts at 9:00am sharp. If you arrive after 9:00, you will have to wait to gain entry to the track. Try to get there before then if possible. The track opens at 7:00.

Also, it is $5 per person to get in.

PM if you have any questions.

***NOTE*** I was just on the STT forum, and noticed that pets Will NOT be allowed this weekend. I know some of you asked, and normally they are allowed, but not this weekend. Sorry.

Jon

The other option is to arrive between noon and 1:00 while it's lunchtime :icon14:

[v-twiner]

Hey Twiner....Lynn and I are leaving Saturday morning also...where abouts are you coming from?? Were in the Macomb/Shelby area I was thinking maybe we could follow each other out. I have never been to Grattan before and its always nice to tag along with folks.. Were just going as spectators this time and BBQ with the gang...Let me know.

Mike

Sounds good Mike. We'll be leaving from the 14 & Ryan area if you want to start a caravan....I'm not exactly sure on what time we're going to leave, but once I get that finalized we can firm up everything...

[marc_padin]

I will be leaving from 12 and Vandyke... I was thining 8 am... (Hard to get the wife to wake up early on a Saturday!) :badteeth:

[flamingemu]

v-twiner and karma are actually doing the track day (riding - like you guys should be), so they'll be leaving much earlier than 8AM.

Not necessarily. I'm not sure when Prostreet1 (and others) are leaving so you might be okay. Perhaps you should find a motorcycle forum somewhere where you can coordinate these things! :loser:

As any good man... I will not commit to anything,.. He he, JK... I will try to drag my wife out of the house by 8 am... however I know she will be late and most likely bug me about breakfast... So, I might not be able to meet anyone... Just me, my radar detector and the highway! (and the wife and the dogs)

[Prostreet1]

Were gonna leave about 5:30 so we arrrive with enough time to get in before 9am...I just don't know where we are leaving from...we may end up in Clarkston for 4th of July antics...but if were sober enough :badteeth: to drive home we will be leaving from 23 & Romeo Plank area if not we will be leaving from there. You can pm me your cell number and we can play it by ear as to where we can hook up?

[Flip]

ok my cell is 734 231 2862 im in dexter west of ann arbor so yea somewhere on 96 would be good and one got open spots in there rides?? ill pay!!!! lol proby what time will you make it to howell area if you leave at 530??

Guessing?? 45 min. to an hour...it really will depend on where I am leaving from..but it looks like I will be leaving from home....so that guess would be the answer.

I posted on the RIDES board. If you want (my plan was back roads) exit 133 off 96 at the Micky D's, kickstands up at 7:00AM. I figured with a break stop in Owosso we would get to the track around 10-10:30.

I have your numbers.

Anyway, that was my proposal.

[marc_padin]

Ok... so my plans have changed once more... Now I will be going alone (my wife and the "kids" will not be coming with me). That gives me a little flexibility... At what time is the "Car" Caravan leaving? Is anyone interested in creating one if there isn't one already?

[Flip]

marc i think we are meeting about 630 at the mickey d's in howell exit 133 are you riding or caging??

I will be driving alone... I have a Jetta... I think I would have some space... But if we need more space and you guys are willing to put in some $$$ for the cash... I could take my Grand Cherokee...

[Flip]

dont need alot of space just us 2 two chairs and some snacks to share its up to you let me know

[marc_padin]

No woods involved.

[Flip]

well proby and his wife said they are leaving their house at 530 so they should be there around 615-630 at the mcdonalds off 96 exit 133 in howell right by the outlet mall

[jgreen]

Hey guys! Just a reminder to try your best to arrive at the track prior to 9:00am or after 12:00 noon. I know they like to have a seemless transition between groups, and don't like to stop the flow to let people in the gate. I know this may not be possible for everyone, and thats cool, but please make every effort.

Can't wait to see everyone out there. There is a chance we may be pitting on the upper paddock instead of the lower, so watch the board for updates.

Stick with the lower - grass is good and we'll be away from the non-Redline members (the unworthy people).

I am really looking forward to this weekend. It will be great to finally meet many of the RS members. It's also the first time my wife and kids will see me ride on the track. And the weather looks like it will be fantastic....Man, I can't wait....:ridin:

We were tossing around the idea of renting a garage. Jane is working with STG, and needs to be up near the booth. Her and Chris are obviously sharing a trailer, so they will probably need to be together. I was just trying to keep everyone together, thats all.

May not be a bad idea, there are some good views of the track. And closer to the bathrooms. I want to pit by some grass, which there is plenty in the upper paddock. I'm trying to give my kids a little bit of a play area, and keep them from running into pit lane.

If you are taking your kids i would recommend pitting at the far end of the upper paddock or at the lower.

We will have to see when we get there what is open. If the first from our group arrives late friday or saturday, we will have to take what is left open, as the ones who arrive thursday night/friday will get most of the "good" or "desirable" spots :2cents:

[flamingemu]

The wife and I stopped off last night and picked up pop, water, etc, condiments for the burgers and dogs, plates, cutlery etc, so we should have enough to go around. C'mon Saturday!

Excellant....22 hours and counting. Wifes picking up burgers, dogs, and buns as we speak..We figured enough for 2 dozen folks.

[Flip]

tell me what we need and i see about fixing it up

Not really sure because I don't know what else others are bringing...Lynns throwing a salad together as well...so if you just bring something to pass that would probably suffice.

[Bufalojump]

I'll bring some Doritos Cool Ranch.

[Flip]

I just got a nice little bonus from work and was thinking that if someone had some leathers and could help set up my bike and some one wanted to do the buddy deal on saturday that i might just try one of these track days i hear so much about..... Any helpers??

I have a set of leathers, but don't think they will fit. As far as the bike goes, just need to tape the lights and remove the mirrors in Novice. You can rent leathers as well. I'll bring both sets of mine, maybe you can fit in the 46's. Don't forget, you will need boots and gloves also. We can talk in RO tonight, if you go.

Do it man! You will be glad you did.

Flip,

Leathers aren't required, so if you have any textile stuff, over the ankle boots and decent gloves, you're all set. There isn't anything too special that needs to be done to the bike either that we couldn't do for you at the track. As for the deal, talk to DemonRR - he was looking to do Sunday and I think you need to call STT sooner than later in case they aren't running the deal any longer. Also, with the holiday tomorrow, you might not be able to get a hold of anyone to sign up as you have to actually call them for the deal.

[marc_padin]

Anyone bringing a grill with a side burner? I could prepare a mexican Dish (mmm delish). So... who needs a ride to the track?

[pickle.of.doom]

Have fun and be safe everyone! A few of us from wos will be at VIR Saturday and Sunday, I hope for nice weather and dry pavement both here and there for all of us!

[Flip]

well i only have a leather jacket and i can call stt i have some family stuff tonight so no RO for me but if i do race i might want to ride out with you tomorrow oreo if you have the room.

Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to get the trailer set-up for 2 bikes yet. Also, I will be leaving around 4:30 in the AM to get there before the gates open.

Jon

[Flip]

well after talking to jon and demon i think it might be a pipe dream so i guess i will stick with the original plan and watch the first time and ride out with marc and proby see ya'll on saturday.

[flipf4ipilot]

if you are serious about getting on the track this year i can help you prep your bike... i can do it after the ride tomorrow even

[Flip]

id like to try one i was always told to try things once

[DemonRR]

nathan, bike prep is easy, swap out glycol (MUST!!!!!! do) for water wetter/water or equivalent. gauntlet gloves (over the wrists), leather boots that go over the ankle (work boots are ok, as i over heard them talk about it last time. a 1pc or 2pc leather or textile suit is mandatory. if 2pc, zipper must fasten 360*. tape all lights, remove mirrors, tape plate screws, tape wheel weights and then have some serious fun!!!!!!!!!!

Nate, also give natedog a call. he bought my old 2pc suit i used to wear at the track. he might let you borrow it.

[flamingemu]

nathan, bike prep is easy, swap out glycol (MUST!!!!!! do)

Glycol removal is not necessary in Novice which is probably what Nate would be doing. You could also borrow my 2 piece Joe Rocket gear. The pants might be a little long, but the rest should be fine. It only has an 8in zipper between the jacket and pants, but I doubt they are going to check something like that.

FALSE!!!!
http://www.sportbiketracktime.com/policies.html#bikeprep
"NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED." this rule applys to all bikes, not just intermediate and advanced riders.
this coolant type is whats in most bikes from the dealership.

STT needs to reword their site because on http://www.sportbiketracktime.com/policies.html it says:

6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED.

So it depends on how you read it. I see it as no glycol if you're in anything other than Novice. Believe what you want, but I can pretty much guarantee the average person in Novice is not swapping out coolant.

[DemonRR]

STT needs to fix their own site because on http://www.sportbiketracktime.com/policies.html it also says:

exactly Nelson. normal car and bike coolant is glycol!!!! exactly whats in your sv, glycol coolant.

i seem to remember having this discussion last year. lol

i dont care what you have in your bike as far as coolant or water/wetter. as long as you do not go down and leak glycol coolant all over the track causing the entire track day be cancelled due to cleaning up glycol. do what you will, its not my bike.

I know what glycol-based coolant is and that is not what's in my SV (any more). It's a track - they are prepared to deal with any type of fluid spill. If not, they should make it more clear or check that.

nelson, im not bustin your balls or anything. im just sayin oem coolant is not allowed! and they are equipped to deal with a glycol clean-up. but the process takes a long time to make sure its fully removed. you dont want to be doing 75mph+ around turn 1 and have your front or rear tire slide out cause some asshat wrecked there and wasnt using the proper fluids and there was some residual glycol coolant left over. i know that would ruin my day if it happened to me.


what time are you heading out tomorrow?

Bust away David - my balls are huge and can take it! I'm fine now coolant wise - I was just saying that their rules can be interpreted differently.

I am heading out around 4 or 5PM and staying in Ionia. We'll head over to the track around 7AM.

[Flip]

ok guys not that big of a deal im not going to race this time maybe next but thanks for all the heads brea and i are actually going to head out there today (fri) and hang out and camp so i wont needa ride marc thanks for the offer and proby will have to find his way lol. see you guys there!!! so excited!!! proby if you need directions call the cell 734-231-2862

[fastlane]

Have fun this weekend ya'll! PLEASE take lotsa pics....

[DemonRR]

here are some directions nelson posted on another thread.

- 696 West to 96 West
- Take exit 67 North into Ionia (on Hwy 66)
- Turn left on Lincoln Ave (Hwy 21) and then turn right on State St (Hwy 66)
- Turn left on Belding Rd (Hwy 44) and follow it to the track (slight right on Old Belding Rd to Lessiter Ave in case you miss the signs)

thanks, see you all there!

[flamingemu]

Today was a blast guys - I will sort through pics in the morning and post some. Thanks to everyone that came and hung out and brought food (Probie makes a mean burger and hot dog). Hopefully we'll see some of you out there again, but on bikes on the track next time!

[fasterbusa]

Certainly, a great day for the track!

[DemonRR]

nice to see alot of redline members come out and support us track junkies. even the probies :)

EXCELLENT day indeed for track riding. weather was perfect, a little hot and sweaty in full leathers, but overall a hell of a day :D

Mike (prostreet1), thanks again for manning the grill. those burgers were excellent. i wish i could have another one, im hungry :D

Jon, Jane, and Chris, thanks for carting my ass around the track in intermediate. it helps when i follow some faster people, thats the only way i get better. a guy on an sv thanked me after the last session, he had alot of fun following ME around the track. i guess we are about the same skill level, so it helps. who woulda thought (quiet chris, lol) someone would want to follow me around. :confused:

anyways great time.

cant wait to see the pics!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone else that came and had fun and helped. The "redline compound" was huge!

we took.. well comendiered(sp) the entire end of the pit area.
cant wait to hit it again!!!!

yeah, bad weekend for wrecks and red flags!! yesterday and today.

and guys if you have pics, is there a way to upload them here with out being the size of a thumbnail or avatar sized pic? i'd like to save them on my puter, but not if they are
100x100 sized pics.

[Luckystrike]

You should have seen the crash in advanced this afternoon, seriously looked like a bike exploded all over the track, we had to ride through the debris and it was tough finding a clear spot through it :huh: The guy walked away, his bike pretty much scrap metal. Today was by far the worst day I have seen as far as red flags having to be thrown. :wtf:

[Prostreet1]

Had a great time out with you guys. Hope I didn't poison anyone..... Would like to put in an honest effort at building a track bike when the budget affords it. Thanks all. :icon14:

[jgreen]

Yeah guys, it was awesome having everyone come out to hang out with us while we do what we love to do. Hopefully, we were able to sway a few people to give it a try someday. Chris is correct, today was bad for crashes, but definitely not the norm.

Thanks to everyone for bringing food, cooking, helping in the pits with stands, and stuff. You have no idea how awesome it is to have someone help you put your bike on the stand when you come in. Thanks to everyone for showing up.

It was great to meet the new guys to the board, and put faces with names. I have a few pics, and will post them soon.

Chris will be posting a thread for another track meet and greet soon.

Jon

[DemonRR]

pics pics pics :D

and x2 on the helping in the pits. that was awesome!!!

and when we going back to grattan? or when's the next trackday?

[Bufalojump]

I'll bring some Doritos Cool Ranch.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for lunch. Thanks to Mike and Lynn for cooking and setting up the buffet and for the burgers, dogs and salad.

The mexican dish that Marc brought was great. I'm not sure who brought the brownies, but they were great also.

The Cool Ranch Doritos didn't even make it to the e-way. They flew off the bike at Pontiac Trail and M-5 and were run over by a truck. So, we had to settle for Naco Cheese that I got at exit 133.

Anyway, great time thanks again. Sorry I had to leave, but my dog was at home and I needed to let him out.

Nice pictures Webb.

Regards,
Steve

[fasterbusa]

Chris, do you know what the guy with the exploded bike did to have that happen?
Where was his wreck, do you know?
Nelson gave me a nice map, so at least I can now tell which corner is which!

[DemonRR]

webb, i think it happened at the end of the straight into turn1.

[fasterbusa]

Turn 1 could be very ugly.
Hitting that slope, you could be ejected right into that line of trees that form the barrier between the track and that road!

I could see doing 190+ at the end of that straight and then noticing that there is that pesky turn there.

Glad he is ok though.

[Luckystrike]

Chris, do you know what the guy with the exploded bike did to have that happen?

It happened in the sweeper (between the bowl (8) and the bus stop (9)). From what I heard, he got a wobble and bailed from the bike before the bike highsided. If you take the wrong line through there at speed, it can get ugly.
