    Managing amateur track day risk

    After my first time on the track all I can give as advice to anyone is, 1) do not worry about anything, the moment your focus is shifted from riding, you mess up 2) learn how to ride off the track, stand the bike up and never ever hit the front brake. Obviously this is a little hard if you hit...

    need help choosing a class..

    essentially what I gather from him is that you cannot be competitive in rookie (ie. beginner) 600 unless you have a brand new bike with every removed and all th ohlins goodies. That being said, none of the costs are surprising to me other than the bike as well. I already accounted for 1k a...

    need help choosing a class..

    haha well, Im certainly not going to buy a *new* bike as you mentioned, that there takes away my entire funds lol. I will most certainly be going the used route. I am well aware that a new bike, all decked out with every goodie imaginable will run well over 20k.. if a 5k bike with an engine...

    need help choosing a class..

    not that I can really put a limit on a season before its even begun, but Ill be looking to git'rdun in the 10-15k range for the season.. if I cant be competitive in rookie 600 at that range then I guess I'll look at lost era, but then again it is 90% rider ;)

    need help choosing a class..

    Well I am looking to be competitive, and I am looking to have competition too, its no where near as fun blasting around the track essentially by yourself. Which was kind of why I was so peeved I messed up in the race.. I dont know what kind of lap times we were doing but I was set on dicing...

    need help choosing a class..

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Re: to each there own .....but i don't understand some riders. I saw a dude in a tshirt and shorts and slip on shoes, with a girl in a sundress wearing less than flipflops on the back. I just cringed at the thought of the girl falling off the back :o

    Hey everyone, I've got a wall of text for you (and some questions)

    Ah yes, but I know that even within karting, depending on the type of sanctioned event it was (club level, regional, nationals, international), that there are different flagging systems throughout. The basics remain the same, red yellow green checkered, but I know there are a lot of variations...

    Hey everyone, I've got a wall of text for you (and some questions)

    Yeah, Ive thought of giving one of those kinds of books a read through as a primer. I can't wait, I have all my gear and I'm all signed up and paid for :) I will likely putter around the first day just getting used to riding, and we'll see how much I can manage to progress come race day. I've...
