    And first fill your water pails and THEN put up your canopy. And if you think you won't need to tie it down,,,well ,, let me tell you,, Oh and don't be the guy that shows up with the nice little coffee cans filled with 4 pounds of cement. Cause all you have really done is make a 10x10 foot mace...

    lessons learned the hard way

    And don't think because you're going slow it won't matter. It does matter because you won't go faster if it isn't. And you can't set suspension if you are not using warmers. You can set sag, but you can not refine suspension for handle improvements,,So you can go faster.

    lessons learned the hard way

    The guy/girl you lapped last year,might kick your butt this year,,stay humble and learn. Watch the fast people and learn. Don't ask them how,and then expect them to do it for you,,cause that answer probably cost them $thousands. Step up try and learn,,help comes to those that make the effort...

    Another tire thread, yes, I know.........

    The inevitable situation is ,as you go faster ,, which is the goal of most, you can not do it with out warmers. The new style tires will not work right with out warmers. If you are using a semi street/track tire,, well yes they can be used with out warmers. But is that advice for normal...

    Another tire thread, yes, I know.........

    You know you will never get a tire up to temp in 2-3 laps and you will wear tires out faster. And if you are riding at TMP it does not build heat until you are over 15 C and no wind. Very seldom does TMP have no wind. I don't understand this advice. ANY warmer is better then no warmers. You will...

    2017 RACE schedule

    Having been around a few tracks and taught a for few schools[6] and dealt with many fast track day riders. Here in lies the problem. I have seen "MANY" fast track day riders. But throw them in and around other riders and they freak out, freeze up or drop 10 seconds. So the problem is not how...

    international race licence?

    To get an FIM you need to buy a CMA,, to get a CMA license you need to go through Marilynn Bastedo,, She will not give you a license for a track day. If all else fails is there a school you can do down there prior to the track day? No other country in the world has the separation we do from...

    Any feedback on the Michelin Power Cup EVO or the Power Slick EVO

    We worked with racepro171 all year and he sure taught us a lot. Heat is your friend. The tire works and last but as he says don't let it cool down. I think I can safely say it has changed the tire warmer demands and should you neglect to address this you will not get the full benefits of the tire.

    CSBK 2017 schedule

    Grand Bend is probably one of the safest tracks in Canada. The issue with Grand Bend evolve around it being so new. There is yet to be a defined pit lane and spectating areas. The spectator viewpoint is easily fixed with mobile grandstands. The pit lane will be the hardest issue to work with...

    Csbk 2017

    The storey I got was the track did well, had a good response and wanted another event. But they only did half of the required safety improvements. Which meant to have the second event they needed to finish what they neglected plus what they were required for Part B. They didn't do what they were...

    Csbk 2017

    Regardless of whether you like or dislike the track,, it is exciting for the sport. For GB to get a venue they will most likely have to address several things. Like Edmonton. If all goes well the track should be better and this will be great for the sport and most of all Grand Bend will table...

    Csbk 2017

    The big problem is ,,if you have experience,, most go there and assume , like most tracks one maybe two sessions I'll have this figured. Well,,, if you think you are going into 11 and you are going into 5,,,,pack a few extra clothes for the ride. It does not mean that other tracks are NOT a lot...

    BIGGEST problem with Bogie is it's size and corners. Most tracks we run are right hand corners. Bogie, has 8 lefts and 12 rights and many are linked. So as the day wears on you get really tired having lots of fun. There in lies the problem,,as you get tired you get lazy and then you miss the...

    Leather Glove Repair??

    Well, the glove is basically non repairable to return to "like new" I would make it as cosmetically appealing as possible. Then you have to figure how to move the stress down and around. So reinforce the area. It would be creative. It is doable and easy in fact. You just loose a bit of cosmetic...

    Leather Glove Repair??

    It ripped because the cuffs on most sport gloves is very narrow. So they must be pulled on with a pretty good force to get your fingers/palm through the narrow cuff. The cuffs are made narrower now to help reduce bulk around the wrist. Some gloves they make the wrist area too tight and this...

    Leather Glove Repair??

    Do not use a dry cleaner if you wish the leather to be protective. If it is fashion leather no problem but the life will be shortened. Never put or do anything to leather you would not do to your skin! Dry cleaning will dry the leather. If your leather is white and seriously dirty,, slim chance...
