Default Grattan MI private track day july 27

this is being put on by my local board wmriders.com here is the cut and paste

Bare bones private rental. $140/rider.

Gates are at 700am.

Please arrive by 800am for a track walk.

Track starts running at 900am.

Lunch break at 1200pm.

Track opens at 100pm after lunch.

Track closes at 500pm.

Pretty simple day. No classes. Just run run run.

I will want new to the track riders to wear a bright vest so we don't run them over.

This is a possible uninterrupted 7 hours of riding time.

Requirements:

Oil drain bolt safety wired.

Oil filter safety wired. Large hose clamp around the filter or use a brand that has the ability to be wired from the factory(K&N).

No antifreeze. Use water,Engine Ice or something similar. If you crash and screw up the track for the rest of us you will get an ass kicking.

2 piece full zip leathers at a minimum.

Gloves over the wrist.

Boots over the ankles. Yes, I have used my work boots before, but I feel safer with proper riding boots.

There is no rain date. If it rains, we ride. Man up. You can get your bike clean again.

That is it.

Paypal address is needspeed600@hotmail.com If you pay with Paypal, $145 will cover thier stupid fees. Thanks.

Same address for any questions.

John Hillary





more info its capped at 30 riders he will need the deposit by mid april, if he doesnt get enough money for the deposit then the day is cancelled and i beilive all is refunded, if he gets the deposit then the day goes ahead as planned. so a min of 20 riders are needed, but if we dont get 30 then jon gets screwed out of alot of money. hes not making money on this, everything that comes in goes straight to this track day and getting it going.

its a technical track, lots of elevation changes surface is mostly black top type. the back half of it got repaved last fall so this year should be a figgen blast. were talking about running the first half of the day clock wise and the 2nd half of it CCW, if you have never had a chance to run grattan backwards this would be a good day.

I think I heard some Nesba guys talking about running it backwards. Was that also the track that needed paving? I didn't want to say that earlier, but since you did, I am curious. Do you still have that TL1000?

yes it needed the section repaved bad that got repaved, now from what im told if they repaved the sections im thinking of it should allllll be fine.

nope i sold the TLR (a sad day i wanted to keep it, but momma capped me at 3 bikes) and bought a 03 gsxr 1k with 500 more bucks than what i sold the TLR for.

It sounds like you got a great deal on the GSXR. Is this more like a private trackday, or does the trackday organizers have a name...or website?
