Anyone want to go to Barber?

STG, Michelin and STT are doing a $99 track day... I could show up with Michelins and bring a tire machine...

I'd love to go but can't make it.

What's up with all the Monday trackdays?

Don't you people work?

That's when they are CHEAP!!! I don't know but I'd guess you'd peel about three Benjis off the roll to get into Barber on a Saturday, my brother!

They can rent the track for a 1/3 of the cost on weekdays as opposed to weekends and then give you half off the normal price and make a killing by forcing you to run michelins, so you buy tires from them too.

Is anyone for sure doing this?

What are the requirements? (yes I can read, but is it any different than a NESBA track day?)

I.E.
Beginner: simple gear, lights and mirrors OK

Intermediate: One piece or zip-together leathers, boots, gloves, back protector, taped lights, removed mirrors/plate

Advanced: same as above , but water wetter, wired bike

I'm giving this one some thought. I'm in Beijing now, coming back home 9/25 and taking a week off to ride around the mountains. Plan on being back from that 10/2 and could put my bike back in race trim and be ready to leave Sunday. My friend Adam is considering going, if he does we still have 2 spots in the truck and trailer.

I run michelins anyway and usualy buy my tires from them as well. the timing and the money is an issue for me otherwise I would be all over it.

That's what vacation days are for. Unfortunately it's a bit of a drive for me, or I'd be all over it!

Less than 16 hours, with a trailer, from Toronto. Less for you, since you're an hour+ closer. A bunch of the Ontario regional racing guys should be going down.
