Anyone from northern NJ going to the Poconos track day on 5/25? I definitely want to try that out, but need to trailer the bike there. If someone can help with that, I'd gladly cover or split the cost of trailering.

Yes, among many other things ;) Unfortunately, trailer isn't in the budget this year...plus no space in my garage or driveway for it.

Yeah, VIR that weekend for me too. Plus, your track day is a week day....very rare for most people to attend unless they have a lot of vaca...or work for the gov't. LOL

If you have been to both tracks you would understand why everybody goes to VIR and not Pocono. :)

And yeah, Pocono is a weekday, VIR is a 3 day weekend... :)

I figured VIR would be better. But there's no way I can make it out there. I'm stuck with the Poconos.

Surely there are others who are also stuck here too!

Maybe post up on TPM's forum board too.

If ya can't find anyone, another option is to rent a u-haul trailer...my neighbor used to rent a pick up from Enterprise too.

hey now, gov't work doesn't allow that much vaca time.. it's only those who have 15+ years of service who work in the gov't that get like 30+ days of vacation time per year.

If I was a sensitive sally, I would have gone off on doug cause that was clearly a jab at me, but I hardly get any vacation time.. I just have about a week leftover from last year...

Doug is just jealous cause im doing a week at teh canada tracks and he isnt.. :)

Oh, you're a Sally alright....LOL

I really wish I could pull the vaca outta my butt to stay in Canada for a week, but alas, I can't. Maybe next year I'll have a different career with more vaca....and money. :)

I remember talking about doing Saturday on South and taking a break on Sunday before riding North on Monday.

Good thing I haven't booked my dates yet. Let me know what we're doing since I clearly don't know :lol:

Get one of those 4x8 trailers from Harbor Freight with 12" wheels for $250. Plywood, bolts and a chock and for about $350 you have a trailer that can fold in half and stand upright as well for storage. I did this back in 1993 and have used it every year up until last (bout a 6x8 enclosed).
