Just an FYI on things going on at GBM- we have added a little more curbing in areas of the racetrack (not that Bike riders like to use curbing most times) but in terms of running layouts in reverse we have added approx 2 1/2 ft in width approx. 50 ft long on the left side of the track as you...
Just an FYI - We allow camping at GBM in the pit area near where you will be taking the course. We have permanent washrooms and showers and you can bring/run you own generator (sorry- no electric hookups). The Piney is an awesome facility, but if your not able to use most of what it offers...
Also for those paying for both days (in advance) there is a $25 discount for the 2nd day (Sun). So while the website reservation will show you as paying $125 + tx Saturday, & $125 + tax Sunday - the girls in the office will only charge your card $225 pus tax for both days.
The one thing I can tell you is while the all the tracks in this area are not of the caliber of the European ones, if you race with either SOAR or RACE the people you will meet (competitors and their famiiies)are first class. They may compete with you on the track but they will also help and...
You got me - 11th and 18th. We're going to give it try - nothing ventured nothing gained ! (it is definitely not as beneficial the farther away you live but should work for the guys/gals who are closer)
At GBM we are considering trying something a little different - making Saturday Oct 11th and Sat Oct 19th two 1/2 day lapping programs. Bikes from 9:45/10am to 1:45/2pm and Cars from 2:15/2;30pm to 6:15/6:30pm. Since we don't expect large numbers on either side at this time of year, we thought...
Guys - Here is the deal re this weekend. We will keep the gate open until 10pm tomorrow night (Friday) it then reopens Sat morning. If you come after 10 you can still park just outside the office and we will have the walk gate open so you can use the washrooms if need be. Like last year...
The lapping dates were setup as regular Weekend lapping programs which are $125 + hst but for this weekend Ken & I agreed they will be $100 + tax - our system will be or has been changed to reflect the $100 pricing. For those who have already reserved/registered - we have not processed anyones...
Have been a little slow in getting the online registration program up and running re GBM but it is up and ready to go. Will have a link from the front page of the road course website to our online registration program up either later today or tomorrow. The direct link is...
While nobody knows the future we need to look at operations based on the past. Our Thursdays without Racer5 were at around 20 and the same for Ken on Fridays (maybe 25) and as mentioned in an earlier post that doesn't necessarily mean we will be 40-45 this year just doing Friday as some of those...
On the Fridays before SOAR race wkds - we will be doing the following either 3 groups at 20 minute sessions or 4 groups at 15 minute sessions depending on entries. SOAR members will have exclusive rights to register for these Fridays until 10 days out then it is open to anyone. Cost is $100 plus...
We have just launched a new updated website re GBR www.grandbendmotorplex.com and click on the raceway logo. The 2014 schedule including most track days is listed on the site both on a full year basis and on a monthly calendar basis. Unfortunately we will not have the online purchase feature...
Just an FYI re the time slip booth for the dragstrip - we are planning to make it moveable - so when we run any reverse configurations or possible road course layouts that include that left onto the stretch of the Dragstrip (cars only) we can just lift off its moorings and move it - plan is...
the configuration on Thursday matches the SOAR race config for the wkd - Check the SOAR website but I beleive it is the Screaming Alien this coming weekend.
This weekend SOAR Rd 2 will be part of our all bike race wkd at GBM - Thursday will be a GBM lapping day including the great Racer 5 program, Friday to Sunday is the SOAR program on the road course (Fri -lapping, Sat & Sun racing)
Sat on the dragstrip will be our Summer Sizzler All makes event...
if you come Sat besides watching the motorcycle lapping you can watch some nostalgia stuff on the dragstrip (ONDR race), a bunch of our regular drag cars testing and tuning and Sat night sprint cars etc on the oval. Cost is $15 for Sat and/or the weekend. (N/C on Sun.)
Re the GBM website - lost all websites for 4 days (our server/provider crashed in the US - Tks Dotster) and took them 4 days to resurrect our websites. Back up now but still not 100%. We have someone in the office all week 9-5 (except today she was off but Ron was in & out) and I was there all...
Sorry - we both screwed up somewhat - my post re pricing is correct except I forgot to add the Gov't's portion HST so it is $141.25 per day in advance like the SOAR registry says. and $169.50 at the gate. Ken forgot to drop the buy both days in advance price to $225 plus hst so it should be...
