Ok SoCal's, I'm going to be in LA August 2-5. I have a client event the evening of August 2nd and have decided to stick around for the weekend. I won't have my bike as I will be flying down. If I get any kind forum brothers to lend me one of the spare steeds, I'd be happy to ride with you guys on Friday, Saturday or Sunday morning. Otherwise, I'll be checking out the new Bourne flick with my buddy Terry and just generally screwing around. PM me or post up if you want to hang out.

Yo Devin, the only riding I'll be doing that weekend is on Sunday. Do you have time to do a trackday that weekend? I'll be @ Fontana on Aug. 5th, you could always rent one of the many bikes at the track from Trackbikerental.com.

I fly back on Sunday at 2:50pm, no trackday for me. Thanks for the heads up though!

What about Saturday? There's a few guys signed up for Saturday (Ron=qqqqqman and Greg=Greg_S). I tried to get Saturday but Lvl 2 is sold out (Lvl 3 still has spots), so I'm on the waiting list for Saturday level 2, with a confirmed spot for Sunday Lvl 2. However, because of all the traffic in Lvl 2 last time, I may switch to Lvl 3 this time :dunno

What's with all these levels? How come all the trackday orgs can't get together and come up with a uniform system of seperating the dead-slow guys (B-, level 1, white, c) from the street squids (B+, level 2, black, b) from the guys that won't take you out (A, level 3, red, a)?

I don't know, but Fastrack recently implemented the AMB scoring system and they now give all of their riders transponders and post lap times after each session. Apparently the goal is to use the times in the future to keep people from riding in levels that are too fast or too slow for their skill level. According to Fastrackriders this is what lap times should be for each level: http://www.fastrackriders.com/pages/RidingGroups/RidingGroups.html

I just switched to Saturday Level 3, since I'm running below 1:50's. Last time in Lvl 2, I almost t-boned a few guys going into corners, because I would carry more corners speed, so for reasons of safety I switched to Lvl 3 (even if a little more than half the guys will pass me). So if you want to do Saturday with me, Ron, and Greg, go for it! :greg

Devin,

You're welcome to use my '07 Triumph Sprint ST on Sunday. Very nice bike. 130HP. Handles great.
It's the bike I rode to Laguna.
Maybe we can meet Anthony, Diablo Blanco and the gang at ACH.
Let me know.

That would be fortuitous of you Ant.

Devin, finalize your plans and I'll ride with you on the weekend. I am going to CA Speedway on Friday and not the weekend. It's too crowded on the weekend and I need my space on the track to go very slow as usual.

I'll keep you bastards in the loop. Ara, thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on that. I've ridden a Sprint ST before, great bike! I'll touch base when I'm back in the US, I'm north of the border right now (Montreal).
