Yamaha picked up and moved to Aragon to test today.
They've been around a long time in mx and car racing. They just started picking up steam in the last year on road racing.
Jim cohrs and mark miller are two dudes you likely know that have them. I can name a bunch of fast dudes down here that have hem now you may not know though.
Melka, scott carpenter, david brown, are some you might known though? There are a lot more that are slipping my mind right now.
I know Andy had said that that whole RFID timing business never actually went through. I think this probably fell by the wayside. Darren won the Elite class this year.
No more $75 mid-week trackdays
No more free trackday after 10 days served ($100 credit now).
I don't think I am doing Full Throttle for 2013 since I expect to cut WAY back on trackdays. I will probably do a "warmup" at NJMP early in the year, then do only the days of the GPMoto and focus what little funds I have on CCS/GPMoto events.
Ditto here, but I still want to get down to VIR at least once for a non CCS race weekend (although a TPM day + GPMoto race would be ideal). Not to mention I'd like to get up to check out NYST a couple of times most likely. With that in mind the FT membership probably makes the most sense.
So that's a $174 difference. There's about a $50 difference in price between FT and "Inside Pass" memberships when signing up.
So basically break even is at 3 track days. If you do more than 3 track days for the entire year (realistically do you think you're only going to do 3 TDs all year) its cheaper doing Full Throttle because by the 4th track day you're paying $50 more per day.
Thanks for doing the math Kaz, looks like TPM made it as complicated as possible with different rates for different tracks and membership levels.:scratch What happened to keep it simple stupid.....LOL
It is freaking awesome that Pocono is back on the schedule. Now we will have 3 tracks to choose from in our area. That should def help with the over
crowding at NJMP. AND all the orgs should be able to have more dates now.
Maybe even STT will be back now that there is ROOM!!! I will wait and see
some schedules before I decide who I will join. I can def see myself riding with MORE orgs this year. It's gonna come down to who has a day I like at
a track I wanna do!
Girls get their own group. Will be very sparse. Anyone tell Crystal yet?

i need boiler and water heater next year, so a lot of my funds going there, but i am definitely going to do some days. I will get dunks to go with me to split costs now that his bike is back together.
Well.....here's my new replacement motor. Ad said 3K miles on the clock. Took a look over it and it seems in decent enough shape. Still has a stock front sprocket on it that doesn't appear to have too much wear.
so.....now the dilemma. Do I just throw this puppy back into the frame and be done with it, or do I take it to the shop and have them go over everything and give it the SS treatment anyway. On one hand it's ~$2K out of pocket, on the other hand at least I'll know everything has been gone over properly and it ready to roll fresh and strong.
Kaz, I would just pull the valve cover to check how clean everything is inside, pop the clutch cover off and inspect the plates and slap that bitch in and ride it.
Why do you need a SS spec motor? Take your old motor and have that built if you want an SS motor.
I think that's probably what I'll do. It came with no clutch or ignition covers on it (which isn't a bad thing since I'm pulling the Woodcrafts off the popped motor anyway, and maybe the shift star as well).
I don't need an SS motor at all, it was more that I just wanted to make sure that everything on the inside was on the up and up, but by the looks of what I can see inside the intake and exhaust ports, inside the bottom end from the sides of the case I think I'll probably just put this one in, get it retuned on the dyno and be done with it.
Yes, in my possession Bryan.....in my garage right next to the bike as we speak lol
No more tire deals from TPM for FT next year. All the good stuff has been taken away. Dont know how much riding Ill do next year, certainly less than this year. Im happy I bought the one set of 211s I did so at least I can get a few days in on them.
