Grattan 2008 Arrival Info

tm_dearborn · 06-25-2008, 08:26 PM

I'll be arriving Sunday evening. Is there anyway to drop the bikes off at the track so I don't have to leave them in the parking lot of the Candlestone? My trailer is open, so I'd rather lock them in the garage on Sunday night if possible.

If not, any recommendations on locking?

Thanks -- really looking forward to the event.

YOu will not have to worry about it at this event. you could leave a $100 bill on the gas cap and now that Phobe will not make it, it will be safe.

The garage area is usually open on Sunday night for a little bit to drop stuff off.

Tom, I'm pretty sure the track will be open Sunday afternoon/evening to unload and grab a garage. Your bike and gear will be safe at the track...can't say the same for the Candlestone.

See you tomorrow!

Except for Frank's it's usually first come first served. I want number 1 or 2!

You bastids have a great time....and ride safe!

SheepOfBlue · 06-25-2008, 11:39 PM

I am free range this year

I think it will be worth 2 seconds of lap time

I see absolutely no reason you can't bring that nice new gsxr.

so you're floating between garages? or just wandering the "pasture" near the pond?

there's a couple spots in my garage if anyone wants in.

I am thinking canopy down by the bleachers

I think I was getting claustrophobic last year. I like my open spaces.

yeah but what does he know of trackdays in MI? figure if he's smart and thinks to search the web for trackdays he's probably just gonna search within the region. come down with a case of anal glaucoma on monday morning, you're all set.

I'll have to keep that in mind.

One of the issues is that he likes bikes too. I dropped off his Magna at the shop for him on Friday to get the carbs worked on.

hold on I have an idea. He can buy that Erion 929 and you can both knock off work and come. I am a genius.

If it makes you feel better, I'll have a few locks and chains available if you cant drop the bike off the day before.

Aside from being a paranoid freak and waking up periodically to check the bikes, I'm also trained to hear the faintest bike theft sounds while sleeping. They actually teach that at our MSF BRC course here in NY.

no worries, Abtech said we can get in after 6pm sunday and someone will be at the gate for stragglers so we can get in and drop gear if need be.

Sounds good. See you Sunday night.
