8 more days until the first trackday at Grattan. Is anyone here doing these trackdays? I am looking forward to it. Bike is ready to go and I am all signed up.

Im not going to run my bike but I might come out to watch.. Grattan is only 20 minutes from my house.

well i check the weather report everyday in hopes it changes from 39 to 70 or something but the latest said 39 and partly sunny saturday and 45 and mostly sunny sunday.. we went last year and it snowed like 4" so didn't even take the bike off the trailer.. two years ago it was 37 and cloudy.. it was cold in the paddock but it was fine on the track with some long johns and several layers.. working hard out there anyways so cold wasn't an issue as long as it is dry.. the people setting it up, in their infinite wisdom for whatever reason, pushed it back into march for some reason.. maybe it was due to track schedule or something.. who knows.. if they were from los angeles or something i could understand maybe they don't know the weather this time of year but they are from chicago?? well i will be there and hoping for dry if nothing else.. also interested in checking out the repaved section of grattan..

Have fun.

well now it says dry both days and 39 on saturday and 44 on sunday. so it should be just about as good as it could get for this time of year. of course it said 41 today and snow and it was actually 47 and sunny. so who knows..

and that's why its only $30 - cheap track day and when you are a crackhead track addict you take anything - cheap dirty nasty disease ridden snow filled rain covered.. whatever.. just wave the fucking green flag and move out of the way..
