Because I'm a loser, I'm putting the schedule into an excel calendar format. I'll make it available to everyone once I"m done.

Thats sick, much appreciated.

[Ant]

Ok, I have it done but it's too big to post. I have a request in to Cakers to see if he will let me host it on here or something so everyone can download it.

[BurnCycle]

Tom

Yup, price didn't change either.

[tommymac]

Yup, price didn't change either.

I thinkits kinda cheesey they way its phrased too, they took one day off of it but make it look like they are throwing youy a bone by giving you an 11th day:roll:

Tom

[Cakes206]

way its phrased too
Was thinking the same thing :nono:

[CBRBob]

Here we go again............

[yetidave]

Jesus, there are a ton of Canadian dates. I'm pumped for the 4 Tremblant days.

[CBRBob]

Ride Calabogie, you will forget about Tremblant.

[IrocRob]

Mont Tremblant is my favorite track in my somewhat limited experience.
I'm looking forward to Calabogie and Mosport this year...:ride:
(Summit Point as well, I haven't been there yet.)

Damn - Time to get the passport. :doh:

[High_Revs_17]

Damn - Time to get the passport. :doh:

And a Canadian timeshare.

[CBRBob]

And a Canadian timeshare.

Would that be metric time? Eh?


I just got my passport about 2 weeks ago :)

[Mike295]

dude they are in canada like every other week.

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

Mont Tremblant was awesome, as long as I don't loose a trailer wheel again

[yetidave]

Ride Calabogie, you will forget about Tremblant.

I intend to get up there (Calabogie) at least 4-5 times this season. I just can't imagine it's that much better than Tremblant, but I've been wrong before. ;)

[IrocRob]

Mont Tremblant was awesome, as long as I don't loose a trailer wheel again

:doh: :roflmao: :roflmao:

[ffejtable]

Sorry for the delay guys, but the TPM schedule ANT worked on should be able to be downloaded from here:

http://www.deniedaccess.net/2007%20TPM%20Schedule.xls

please let me know (PM) if its not working for some reason...

Thanks.

[Ant]

Thanks veggie! :)

[Cakes206]

Whats the different color shading refer to?

[AfricanBootyScratcher]

ant and jeff, you guys are awesome!

[Ant]

Whats the different color shading refer to?


Shading means the days that I am interested in going to. :lol: The "good" tracks so to speak.

[Mike295]

kick ass now put in ccs and wera races

[JHuff1219]

Thank you for putting this together gentlemen.

[lateapex]

I did one in a .xls file with worksheets for AMA, CCS and WERA. The CCS and WERA pages are blank now.

[ffejtable]

IrocRob mentioned that March 15th Pocono date is missing (or is it April 15th?).. He updated it, but used Excel 2007, which I dont have, and I dont think most of you do either, so I didnt put it up, but thought I would let you know he spotted one omission.

I plan to check it myself when I get a chance, and also put it in a regular spreadsheet format (rather than making it look like an actual calendar).. The file I will make will allow you to do a File-->Import/Export and dump everything right into your Outlook calendar. I hope to get that done by tonight... It might have been what Lateapex did but the comp I am on at the moment doesnt have Excel so I cant see what he did....

I like the import into Outlook calander, that would be handy. I don't think mine will do that because the fields don't have actual dates in them.

[Mike295]

anyone make one with wera and ccs dates?

[ffejtable]

Link for Outlook import file.

http://www.deniedaccess.net/TPM2007.csv

This file contains data so you can import the TPM schedule right into your Outlook calendar.

In general the process for doing this (for outlook 2003) is:

Open your Outlook Calendar
Click on File
Click on Import and Export
Chose Import from another program or file then Next
Chose Comma Seperated Values (Windows) and then Next
Enter the filename/location of whereever you saved the file above and click Next
Select the Calendar that you want to import the information into (most of you will probably only have one, named "Calendar" Click Next
The next box is so you can map what columns go into what calendar fields. the .CSV file is in a format so the import wizard should know what to do with it automatically, just click Finish.

Directions for other versions of Outlook might vary by a little bit.

If you want you can create a new calendar that has just your TPM dates in it. I did this first just to make sure I didnt blow up my Primary calendar. To create a new calendar in Outlook 2003 just Click file, New, Folder.. Give the calendar a name and make sure "Folder Contains" says Calendar Items. You can put the calendar as a sub folder of your main calendar or a subfolder of your "Mailbox" (recommended).

[Mike295]

hmm interesting i wonder if i can upload that to a mac?

[ronin_01r1]

how is VIR patriot? i heard it wasn't as good as south or north.. and which summit tracks are good?

[Ant]

Summit Main

Patriot is fun little tight and twisty, only one short straight. Summit JC is small compared to the more open main circuit but a nice little track and the Shenandoha is tight and twisty. Any track is fun.

BTW in your avatar I'm the second bike behind you.

awesome. that was my first trackday last year at pocono. i want to get away from pocono this year and check out some other tracks...

You'll be so glad you did :nod2: Definitely check out Summit Main and Beaver Run if you can.

[ronin_01r1]

they're both on my list..as well as vir. maybe i can add canada to my list..

Pocono is great to start out and its close for a lot of TPM members but once you done other tracks like VIR, Beaver and Summit, you realize what real race track are.

Calabogie, Tremblant and Mosport are great tracks, but Shannoville is like Pocono east.

[ffejtable]

Shannonville is worse than Pocono East because its 8 hours instead of less than 2. It really isnt worth a trip under any circumstances unless they repave the entire thing completely. By far the worse surface of any track ive been do. No elevation changes, either, but I can live without those.

Patriot is a fun small course, and a heck of a workout since you will be hanging off the bike the whole time. I personally dont think its worth its own trip, so if they are doing a 2day patriot weekend, I would pass, but later in the year (November) they do have a Patriot/North Sun/Mon deal thats worth it. Its a shame they didnt do that this year with the November North date.

I've only done Summit Main and I hated it, mostly because its not a fun track to be off the race line on, and Art Basic was holding up white group really bad all day, and in general it sucked (for me)... But I do want to give it another try... Hopefully with a JC or Shenandoah the day before.

Summit Main really is a great flowing track, definitely give it another try with an open mind.

First time I did Summit I hated it. I never understood why people liked it. Then I went back again and loved it and now I try to get there as often as I can.

[Mike295]

summit rocks... trust the pavement patches... they will stick... dont run wide in carocel and the rest i will keep to myself :)

[Ant]

Go real fast in T4. T5 doesn't matter and go fast in T10.

[ffejtable]

(almost) Everybody loves Summit Main, and I really didnt enjoy it much... I understand why, and hopefully next time I am there, I will be slow enough to enjoy it.

Mike.... I've been avoiding your Mac questions cause a) I dont have a mac to test with and b) Macs suck.. but seriously...

If you are using Microsoft Office for the Mac, the procedure to import it into Outlook should be similar.... Maybe somebody else with a Mac and computer knowledge can give it a try? Cucullin might have a Mac, but probably not Outlook running. :)

Be fast everywhere.....

That def was not fun, and dont want to waste a credit this year on a day like that. I still havent decided on my debut yet. i was toying with beaver run in april but it may be kinda chilly out there too.

I just requested the vacation time for that and the Summit VIR trip in May. :)

[NYCSTRIPES]

last year I was also at Pocono April 8th. That one taught me a lesson. Unless I make a road trip down south, I will wait until May to go anyplace up here unless the weather is cooperative.
Ken

[IrocRob]

March 18 VIR Patriot & 19 VIR North - I just can't wait...:ride:

[tommymac]

I just requested the vacation time for that and the Summit VIR trip in May. :)

Let me know about the trip to beaver maybe we can split the ride out there. I am not sure about the summit VIR weekend though I may try to go down the following week for the 2 days on the south course if I can make sure a few friends go.

Tom

[CBRBob]

Just so you all know. Even as far south as VIR, the temps are always within 5-10 degrees and the conditions tend to be the same. So don't expect it to be 80 and sunny when up here its 40deg.

[JimRBlue]

March 18 VIR Patriot & 19 VIR North - I just can't wait...:ride:
