    I'd suggest making a short list (very short) of who you want to work with and have a chat with them at the bike show in Dec.

    Who do you know to approach? Just walk up and say "can you help me go faster?"

    I can't speak for the other organizations but the Vintage group really is about fun. You have some vary talented people that ride motorcycles on the track that are a total hoot off the track. You will never meet a more eclectic and fun bunch. Most of us realize that it's club racing and that we are unlikely to get to any professional status outside of Canada and going to work Monday morning is real important. Caboose your not invited lol. What's up bud? Sounds like your making a desperate push for sponsorship 2012, looking forward to seeing the return of team green!

    Many of our racers have no previous experience but a great attitude and a willingness to stick it out. And starting late, real late even in their 50s and 60s. Cost can be very reasonable as you can race the same bike forever -ask Brian P. Stay off the big bikes and tire expenses are pretty reasonable. All relative though, no race weekend is going to be cheaper than a game of Golf.

    I always loved trackdays but I always wondered how I would stack up...

    Don't think I have the cash for that. I'm looking for someone for just a few days.
