You could come down Get a rental for 3 days and get 6 days on the track.

Better yet, hitch a ride with Eviltwin and NorthernRR

I just registered and paid in full too, and got wait listed. But the dude at Keigwins told me that a large group of riders drop out at around the 2 week marker (i.e. their cut off date for refunds of deposits). And being in 5th spot waiting list, he told me with certainty that enough guys would drop from his prior experience of running these events. So, I said "sign me up, mang".

Looking forward to riding with you fellas!

PS Nice move on FS SRII. I hear the course is more fun with FS at Miller than it is at LVMS anyway. Enjoy!!!

Worst case you get a B- spot but be said with allot of confidence that the wait list will clear

I'm still working on this one Purp, but maybe we could swing it so you fly down 1-way to do the Freddy school and I drive down later with your truck for the track days.

Ok I put deposits on the Keigwin's days in "A" group and registered for the APEX day.... Now all I need is a driving partner.

Where did you guys say you were staying?

Oh BTW MotoVegas I'm in Vegas next Thursday night the 10th... let's have a beer.

Ok scratch me off the list. Shit.

edit: I'm such a tease... sorry guys I keep forgetting that I'm at a new job and the low guy on the totem. I also forgot about a trip I'm taking to Cancun in January that will eat up vacation time.

Thinking about this I find it VERY evident how badly I want to do this. I know that I will learn a TON from level two, but I don't know if it is worth me "sacrificing" a whole track season to afford to attend this school and then rent a bike for the "southern" MCADX DAYS...

I know that I will be busy with the Ottawa Safety council teaching the Learn to ride course as well as ripping it up at calabogie, but this is a very interesting proposition for me.

The first school changed the way that I look at riding and I can't wait to attend again, but at what cost. Damn you Rob... hahaha

Just registered for the same class today. A buddy of mine from Vegas (Mark Boedekker) is likely coming along with me. So, +2 from Vegas for this class!
