Re: Trackday Feb. 12

oh and i forgot to ask were you there this last trackday on the bondurant track? if not, make sure you go next time they are able to run there. its about the coolest track i can think of in az. its probably more fun than main cause it has elevation changes and stuff like that.

Re: Trackday Feb. 12

oh man you should have taken ur 750. it was so much more fun than i thought. altho the pavement wasnt the best quality since cars mainly run on it they dont have to keep it so smooth. almost ate shit a couple times on the seams.

Re: Trackday Feb. 12

Does anyone know if I can park an RV at Firebird? Yes, I have a bike too, just thought I'd save on the hotel.

Re: Trackday Feb. 12

Literbox - - - parking an RV overnight at Firebird is probably a no go, liability reasons. They are already beginning to set up the raceway for the NHRA races in 3 weeks, so who knows. There is a park and ride (a nice one in awhatukee just 1 mile north of Firebird) down the street from my house that you most likely could park at. I doubt any police officers would give you hard time. There is also no way any of the hotels nearby would know if you were a guest or not and you could just park in their lots.

Re: Trackday Feb. 12

you can park the rv at the trck during the day and just park it somewhere else to sleep. i usually just sleep in whatever truck i haul the bike in.
