AND,
according to the speed charty thing, you'll already be doing 90mph when you start the 3/4mile straight.

Just remember to start braking at some point

I just saw your video and pics. Awsome. Teach me to stay away for a couple years. Look at all the fun I've been missing.

I'm not reading this whole thing. Has a date been set?

I'm going to be in Utah for the Bonneville Speed Trials in August, Sept, and Oct, not sure of the dates, but if they coincide with this trackday, then count me in!!
I'll bring both my Busas, the canyon bike and the landspeed bike.

 

[Charlesbusa]

I talked with Travis at Apex today.  We haven't locked down the group discount yet, but there will be one.

He's asking for everyone who's definately going to go to  http://apex.moose.cc/membership/ and register, perferrably with the same screename as hayabusa.org but not neccessary.  Then send him an e-mail Travis@apextrackdays.com, mention you are a part of the hayabusa.org group and include a contact phone number in the message.  After the discount is set, he'll call you guys back to get credit card numbers for payment.  DO NOT BUY THE TRACKDAYS YET!!!  Register and email phone number

Here is the info on rider groups.


Rider Groups


We try to provide a controlled environment that allows you to ride as fast as you want (in keeping with the paragraph above) and explore the performance of your motorcycle without the hassles and dangers of the street. To accommodate different riding levels, participants can select between two different riding levels/groups:

Advanced Group | A
This group is typically made up of licensed road racers and fast and experienced trackday riders. As a reference, Group A Riders lap ThunderHill in 2:20 minutes or less, the lower Reno-Fernley course in 1:40 minutes or less, and Spring Mountain (Pahrump) in 2:00 minutes or less. If you question whether you are fast enough for Group A, sign up for Group B and we will move you up to A after the first session or two if you are fast enough. The number of riders permitted to sign up for each group is dependent on the track being run. Check the details for the event you are interested in attending for the max capacity.

Street Group | B
This group is typically made up of individuals new to the trackday experience, and people wishing to improve upon their riding skills at a more comfortable pace. Your first session will start with some Lead/Follow siting laps led by Apex instructors to help you become familiar with the track. The number of riders permitted to sign up for each group is dependent on the track being run. Check the details for the event you are interested in attending for the max capacity.

If this is your first trackday ever at any track, you are required to attend the First Trackday Orientation (FTO), and to ride initially in the B Group. This is not a riding school, but a track orientation class designed to acquaint you with the peculiarities of trackday riding. The first class session is held during the A Group's first track session (9 a.m.), so you don't miss a minute of track time. At 9:30 the School hits the track with the B Group. The second and final class session is held during the A Group's second track session (10 a.m.). You are then free to ride the rest of the day. If at that point you wish to ride in the A Group we will evaluate your skills during a B Group session and see if that is possible.

 

Sessions:
9:00 AM: A Group On Track (Rider's School Classroom Session)
9:30 AM: B Group On Track
A Group on the hour
B Group on the half hour
Before entering the track, check the (1) group sign, (2) green flag, and (3) track marshal to make sure it is safe to enter. [/Quote]

A great safety message!

I like the way its put. This is for anyone who's never been to the track

Stay in control and within your abilities at all times. Ride at 80% to leave yourself a safety margin in case you make a mistake. If you stay at 80% and safely build your skills, soon your 80% will be well beyond your earlier 100%. By contrast, the squid who goes out at 100% and crashes never really improves, and often gets worse.[/Quote]
