It's expensive but worth it.. Class time + food makes it worth it for me..

They are definitely watchable with ok audio..

About that new plan.. Good luck with that..
Done deal man.

You know anyone who would have a higher-zoom lens? If they make you watch from outside the fence and stuff, you won't be able to get angles anywhere near as close as the prof photog...


BTW you doing red roof inn? I am planning on it. Want to split and save $$?

Simple. Explain to her that you love motorcycles more than you love her. She'll understand.

That sucks dude... I feel you money pain right now. If you can scrounge together some cash we can all split lodging and stuff. The bike prep is minimal and doesn't cost any $$...

... the food is good, instructors are helpful, and most importantly, he keeps enrollment down, making for an uncrowded track.

That's a lot of zoom! Fair enough, though. Maybe since we are riders and not just spectators they will let us get at some better spots for photo ops...

Yea, might as well split the cost of the hotel.. Sounds good..

Gettin there Sunday night?

And no, I don't really know any photog buffs..

I'm pretty sure if they let us walk the track, they will make an exception for those of us that want to take good pics.

Yeah, that's the plan. I just reserved a room for two nights. sunday 27th checkin, tuesday 29th checkout.

I may end up having a friend come with me or something, hope that is cool with you.



edit: good point... they will probably just ensure that you stay inside the apex of corners and not out on the runoff.
