I'll have a sip or two...BTW, anyone interested in some nice tequila? I can fulfill that part...
I think they do but it's not strictly enforced. Willow is in a very secluded area unlike CA Speedway or Laguna Seca, etc.So does Willow have noise restrictions on aftermarket pipes like Laguna? This will be my first track day in Cali and it seems things are run a little different out here? Anything else I should know about BEFORE the riders meeting?

Someone gave me some El Jimador at my housewarming back in January. But, I prefer Patron or Hornitos. And I have some Barcardi too.Thank you very much for your hospitality Louis, I appreciate it. Looking forward to a nice bench racing session.

John will confirm, but to my knowledge, there's no noise restrictions @ Big Willow. Everything else should be virtually the same... passing the tech inspection is not hard at all either... they spend about 5 seconds looking at the bikeSo does Willow have noise restrictions on aftermarket pipes like Laguna?

TrackDaz is lax. I've had one guy at FastTrackRiders tell me to tighten up my setback plates and that he would check me again before letting me onto the pit lane. Sure enough, he was there but he gave me a thumbs up.That's not entirely a good thing in my book

Yeah, that faq page is super brief. No matter...my bike and gear will be safer than required. I'll be running brand new 002RS's....highspeed turns scare me. I'm much feel much more comfortable with tight and medium speed shorter turns. Not sure how to overcome that.No noise restrictions at all for this track.

Beyond their list, it's important to have tires in new or near perfect condition. This track is all about very high speed right-hand turns and if you have any doubts, replace your tires.
I've never run with this org before so I don't know how it will be for the suspension setup. If you have your values from other events you'll be fine to start the day as you'll be learning the track in the first session. Sag won't change, just damping.Yeah, that faq page is super brief.

The website mentions free suspension adjustment. Is the free suspension booth a zoo? Strategies for getting with the guy early? Just throwing my thoughts out there.....
I have a Canon ZR65MC sitting at home & my camera mount. Just needs a charge. I'll probably try to stop by for session 2, 3, or 4 to get my suspension tuned on my R6S and to take some pics.So who is going to have an onboard camera? I may try and have my wife's pink sony point and shoot mounted to take some video but we'll see. Anyone else going to be taping? We should go all out with the video stuff since there are so many of us (and we all know Wavex has the mad video editing skillz).
2nd session will probably be good time to hit them up. For some reason, I have a feeling it's a guy from Cycle Depot doing suspension tuning.The website mentions free suspension adjustment.

I'll bring the GoPro camera, but I don't know if I am going to run it or not... maybe in the afternoon... I am still learning the track and the bike, so I don't want any distractionsSo who is going to have an onboard camera?

You might be coming????? That would be awesome! :rockon: Who is "we"?I'm getting closer on this one guys. Two more loops to close. I should know by tomorrow. I really hope we can make, it looks like fun! :thumbup:
I really hope so Nate. I spoke with my ex about picking up my days with my son this week, Thursday, and she seems okay with it. Then I need to get my bike fully tuned. Its in the shop getting the PC3 put on and dyno tuned. The good thing is I receive my ECU flash today, basically a Buell 1125R Race flash. (Thank you Ohiosportbike.com!!! - Dave you ROCK!!)You might be coming????? That would be awesome! :rockon: Who is "we"?
What is the difference between Intermediate and Advanced? I assume all racers, pretty much in Advanced?5-25-09 Trackday at Willow Springs 2.5 mile Road Course (Memorial Day)
