Anyone else do trackdays in the southeast? .....Jennings, Tally, CMP, Roebling, Barber......It's about that time again to head back to the track.

I'll be at VIR Monday, May 24. Anyone who'd like to sign up can do so directly through the shop that rented the track. www.danddimportcycles.com or call Bryan at 757-423-1082 and tell him Dan from Octane Magazine told you to call.

I have been wanting to go to VIR, probably make it at least once this year. To know several riders from the Charlotte area that go there quite often.

I'm going to try to get a few track days in this year.

VIR is a great track. Of course, it's the only one I've ridden - but even more experienced guys all seem to love it. The shop owner was telling me about a GS with a big bore kit they're setting up for the track day. Hopefully he'll be ready to go, I'd like to see at least one more GS there! And it would be neat to see how much the displacement helps. My buddy Mike will also be there with his 400 Bandit. Another fun little bike.

Are you racing or just puttering around the track?

With a stock bore, the GS is a little weak in top end, but will smoke most bikes in the turns, except a RS125/250. I was able to keep up and finally past a SV in the SRRS race at Jennings last year (it is just an open race without any real reward just bragging rights). Can't wait to try out the new engine (+1mm pistons & cams) and maybe have the 555 ready before I go again.

How far are you from VIR?

I live just south of Greenville, SC. I guess about 6 hours.

Just puttering.

No racing at all next year.

We need to hook up for a track day. I am planning on going to Jennings several times this year and maybe Tally with MARMO again.

Yeah we need to hook up. I'll be doing Jennings, TGPR, & maybe Roebling.

Last time I was a Roebling I was low-siding my ex-gf's RS125  :mrgreen:

1 hr 40 min pulling a trailer on back roads to VIR!!!!!!
better and nicer than Road A.

I tossed my/your GS into the grass at turn #9 the last time I was at Roebling.
:mrgreen:

I would love to go for a couple runs at tally on my bike but i think that there are age limitations.    :x

What do you mean by "age limitations"?

obviously  you have never met any of the vintage racers....
one guy is still racing his 47? H-D that he raced for H-D when it was new

Quote from: JamesGWhat do you mean by "age limitations"?

I think 96gs was referring to the fact that he's pushing 16 years of age himself.  (Or is it 17 by now?)

So I'll see you there?!  

BTW, anybody know where I can buy or rent leathers for a reasonable price. Don't know how sizes work for leathers - but I'm shall we say...ill-proportioned!
