To all of those asking what do I need/when can I go/who’s going or parts for sale this thread will serve as an answer. I’m still trying to untie some of my funds to get out for a day, I doubt I’ll make enough funds for the arrive and drive day, but I’m sure I’ll make it out to Tony’s or Penguin this year. Right now I’m just restoring the bikes to running condition which is the priority. Rocket how did it go with your new back protector? Also here is a track day calendar for all to see [http://www.sportbiketracktime.biz/Seasonschedule.aspx](http://www.sportbiketracktime.biz/Seasonschedule.aspx) [http://www.teampromotion.com/tpm.php](http://www.teampromotion.com/tpm.php) [http://www.nesba.com/Info/TrackEvents.htm](http://www.nesba.com/Info/TrackEvents.htm) ---

Mike, Just so you know need to be a TPM memeber to get the $175, non member is $225 I believe. Monti will the closest to us. You can also sign up TPM’s track day at Tony’s as they recently became partners. There are east coast events in , NHMS, NJMP, Monti, ---

I’ve had it as “y” at first, but then I second guessed myself and thought that in my phone is was wrong too so I changed it to a more common spelling, since most of other “Brians” I know constantly correct me when I spell it with a “y”. > [@Taffy's Sunday 6/17/07](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/taffys-sunday-6-17-07/30745/5): > > Vlad can u even touch the ground on a bike lol Yes in more ways than one. Flatfooting is rarely needed and I don’t use it even when i have the ability, I like to keep at least one foot on the pedal. Tony’s track days were great, I have nothing but good things to say about them, especially the customer service. Tony signed up and posted just for the few members that were interested at the time. ---

Yeah, I must say TTD is very well run and NHMS is a great circuit with a good mix of corners. I had a real blast on the second day (not that I didn’t on the first one), but that will be my last time riding to any trackday…I wanna kill myself on the way back… ---
