Roll Call: BEAVERUN Sept 23rd-24th

[NYCSTRIPES]

I may be headed to the Beaver that weekend, last big weekend for the year. Anyone thinking of it?
Ken

[Vin]

Thinking of making that my last two days of the year.

[Mack]

I'll be there...definately won't be my last two day of the year though

[RCM78]

We'll see. I should be able to ride by then...

[NYCSTRIPES]

Something happen to you?
Ken

[CBRBob]

I'll be there. Ralph was runn off the track at VIR S. Weren't you there Ken?

[NYCSTRIPES]

My last trip to VIR was Memorial Day Weekend, he actually coached/evaluated me on the South Course for a possible bump to Blue Group. When was his accident? Was he hurt bad? I hadn't heard about it.

I saw your bike in blue at FUSA this past weekend, congrats!

[NYCSTRIPES]

Thanks, got bumped up Friday at FUSA. Pushing the TLR around the track is lots of work, but its FUN.

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

<--- haha, cool title! and yes I am :D

[ffejtable]

Signed up/Confirmed...

Any good places to stay that arent $100/night? I think Omar stayed at the Alpine Inn last year...

There is a new Holiday Inn (or Best Western, I forget).. but its like $120/night... do they have Beaver/TPM discounts?

I'm confirmed for both days :woot:

[tommymac]

If I can find someone who wants to split the ride with me I would be up for going back. I just tallied up my gas receipts from last weekend and it wasnt prety. I need to put in my days for work by monday so I guess I will wait and se eif anyone wants to split the ride.

Even if ya can't find anyone to ride share(I'm sure someone will though)...one bike uses less gas than two ;)

Tom, I'd split with you but I need to leave the Friday *night* before and around 2-3pm on Sunday. I'm not sure if you're willing to do that, but that's my only option.

[Mike295]

i am going to go as welll might need a ride... or rather a passanger.

[tommymac]

True I also have enough thank you points through my bank to get 50 to 75 dollars in gas cards so that would cover a tank or maybe 2. I had a great time this weekend and a lot of the same characters are going again which would make for another good weekend so I am more motivated to go, plus it would beat doing 3 throwaway days at pocono. Vinny I will let you know in a day or 2 what my plans will be for possibly going. Also I need to pick up another case of the Troegs Nut brown ale since that stuff is damn good.

Tom

[Rev]

See you guys there =p

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

See you guys there =p
you're finally coming over to the dark side!?!

[Mack]

I'll be there for both saturday and sunday.....my parents house is about an hour from the track if anyone needs a place to crash they are more then welcome...have one extra bed and a few couches available.

[Wishes]

Just wondering who's going or planning on going!?!?!

This will be it for me on TD's this season but I have yet to run there so I'm excited! :hyper:

[Qetesh]

I'm hopin to be there. Need to find a ride or borrow my friend's truck and trailer.

Beaverun is a GREAT track and my favorite! You'll love it!

If you'll be there for both days, make sure to stay at the Motel 6 in Cranberry. It's 20 minutes from the track and dirt cheap. Plus, there's lots of restaurants and Pittsburgh is right next door.

[Mack]

I'll be there both days...either staying at my parents or sisters place well that's where I'll be living till I get my house too I guess....also check out the track daze section this was perviously posted I believe....cya there

See everyone there.
Ken

[IrocRob]

[Brian78]

[pillaka]

I will be there saturday and sunday, also doing the GP race on sunday.

Good News

[ffejtable]

Eh, the existing course is 1.6 miles, and in my opinion just on the short side as it is... Its a great course, and a lot of fun, but its definately a little too short. Adding a second track nearly the same length doesnt excite me that much unless they are connected and it extends the existing track.

Would be nice to mix things up a little I guess for a Sat/Sun weekend, rather than doing the same course twice...

[IrocRob]

...Adding a second track nearly the same length doesnt excite me that much unless they are connected and it extends the existing track...

Check out the website - Pretty much just like everywhere else. Two separate tracks or one big one.

www.beaverun.com

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

that looks interesting

[NYCSTRIPES]

That is what have heard, the new course will connect with the existing layout for a short or long course.
Ken

[ffejtable]

Aaah, not bad.... somebody was talking about Beave building another course last year and the way he was describing it made it seem like it was off in the distance and not very close to the existing track... That doesnt seem to be the case.. woo hoo! :)

[NYCSTRIPES]

Got my fingers crossed for the weather this weekend.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Don't you know that the weather is always perfect at Beaverun ;)

[JasonB]

Does anyone have some used tires to sell me? I dont kno if my tires will past inspection..

120 front and 190 rear

[Cakes206]

Nothin like waitin till the last min...get in touch with njracer.

[ffejtable]

I do have a set of BT002 (i think) 120/190s that Ant had then sold as take offs to the guy I bought my track bike from... I dont think they are in very good shape, but I will go check and if they are I will bring them with me... You are honestly better off just getting a new set of Diablo Corsas at the track tho...

Jase likes to wait til last minute for new tires... That was the very first thing I learned about him... We met up at chatterbox 2 years ago and he was riding around on a tire with the cord showing through...

[ffejtable]

The tires are BT012Rs... The rear has tons of meat left on the edges and not much left down the center. The front is actually on my 636 at the moment, I forgot thats the wheel/tire I threw on there while waiting for a replacement BT014... Not really worth it without the matching set. :(

[Cakes206]

he was riding around on a tire with the cord showing through...
John Stevens did the same thing, forget what track we were at, sliding that thing all over the place, lol...

[ffejtable]

Was that on the SV650? The same day he crashed because he tried squeezing just a little more life out of tires that had nothing left? :)

[Gigantic]

Hi everyone,
I met a lot of you there (I'm the big guy...) It was a pleasure! I can't believe that the season is almost over... I had a great weekend & a blast dicing it up with cakes on Sunday.

[RCM78]

It was at Beaver. And no he didnt crash on that tire.

I thought I was the big guy there:roflmao: I think I saw you buy that guys CBR who had the hole in the case after his get off. I know a few of the guys finally figured out who I was after seeing each other at a bunch of track days:LOL:

All in all I had a good time albeit a short one due to my knees crapping out, guess its time for a couple of knee replacements so I can ride longer:roflmao:

Tom

[NYCSTRIPES]

Hey folks, I am glad Beaver had such rideable weather this weekend. Might be my last run for the season, but it was a great time.
Glad so many people made it out there.
Ken

[IrocRob]

Good times folks - Glad everyone made the trip out.
We ended up very lucky with the weather, with wet
mornings drying up before lunch each day.
Can't wait for the next one, but it may not be till next season...

[CBRBob]

Great weekend for all, well maybe not for Mack(sorry). Beyond that, a little a.m. rain kept most people sane and smooth. Then rocked it in the afternoon dryness! I don't go out much on the Blue group but I did a lot od blue sessions this weekend. Once I got past the 'politeness' I usually use on the track I got my times down pretty good again. All in all I rode almost 450 track miles :)
Glad to see most of the old group there and some new faces at the Beev. Chris, way to go!

BOB it's all good. I had a great time on Saturday and was running fairly well with decent times. Was hoping to have a better day on Sunday especially when the rain clear. But hey shit happens I'm alive....my bike well that's another story. Still thinking about what I want to do. I have a whole winter to figure it out. I'm already looking forward to next track season.

How bad's the damage...to both of you?

No rush man you'll be in Blue before you know it, you've always been fast...on the track, just not with the ladies. :P

Thanks Bob. :ride:

It was great to finally see everyone together in one big group instead of seeing different people at different days and it definintly made the trip well worth it!

I'll definintly being going back to Beaver first thing next season. The track just flows so well. For the first time ever there I started off rather slow as I expected and all over the place for the couple of sessions in the morning but eventually by the end of my first day I was running a decent pace (not what I had hoped to run).

But by the end of the second day I accomplished my set goals and went even further thanks to Stiff I was able to run a couple of 1:04.90's. Next time there my goal is to run that consistantly.

First time at the Beav was great and I can't fucking wait to do it again. I kinda wished they ran a sat/sun/mon cause I would have jumped all over that.

(Yea I know I missed my apex :doh: )

Had a GREAT time out there this weekend....Beaverun is definitely a sweet track,and the weather turned out just purfect....Cant wait to go back.

[ffejtable]

great to see the old faces, as well as some new ones as well. :)

i'm still not happy with my riding, but i'm keeping it on the track which is more important than going fast when you've got bills to pay. :)

You looked great out there Chris, You can learn so much more at a track that's not actively trying to kill you like at other places. Glad to see you had such a good time. I know I had a blast, but running the 1:04's will have to wait until next year for me. You passed me a few more times than I am willing to admit.
:ride:
Ken

[JHuff1219]

Had a great time out there on Saturday. Glad the rain finally passed and the speeds picked up. Thanks to "Gary" for getting me back "online"! Wish I could have caught up with Cakes during one of those sessions, maybe next time. Good to see Cakes and Jenn again. SBimages hooked me up with some great pics. Also wanted to thank Smokin' Joe for all the compliments and laughter during intermissions.

I definitely agree Ken, There is no way in hell I would try and ride that pace I rode at Beave at any of the Pocono Days. To me IMO it's just not worth it. You looked real good Ken and I can't wait to ride with everyone again.

[mpr138]

I had a great time out at beaver. I am glad that the rain held off to have a great couple of afternoons. I just wish I had remembered to "borrow" the sign that says "Entering New Beaver" just north of beaver falls. :P

[NYCSTRIPES]

Its always fun to "enter new beaver" but I never needed a sign to remind me of that.
