i tried to renew with the 4 day speedpass/silver membership from home using firefox. the browser did not return with confirmation so i hit submit again - still no confirmation. i used ie and was able to renew with confirmation.

i thought i may have just purchased 3 4day speedpasses :( .

i got a confirmation email from TPM saying - PROCESSING...

a few weeks go by and i emailed TPM to see how my PROCESSING is going. they emailed back saying there is no record of any transaction and to re-do it.

i renewed with the 4 day/silver from work using the ie browser - everything went as it should and i've already booked the w/e @ beaver.

1st round of beers & jagers are on me :thumbup:

Sounds good, I assume you will be staying at the motel 6 again. You need to come to the beer distributor thats across the street from the hotel, they have a great selection, plus a bunch of small PA micros you cant find up here. I am good for at least a case of the troeggs nut brown ale:drink:

Tom

[GinoE]

You don't need much to get into Canada, but you need more stringent docn to get back!

A passport is the easiest, otherwise you need photo-ID (like D.L.) *plus* either your birth cert OR proof of citizenship (which Ex-Canadians like me got when I became US Citizen.)

[Mack]

5 days till VIR...haha you poor bastards have to wait till april...c everyone at beaver

[FDNYDANO18]

[JoeyHonda]

5 days till VIR...haha you poor bastards have to wait till april...c everyone at beaver

Watch those VA state troopers once you're near South Boston!

They pinched 3 drivers (coincidentally all had bikes in tow) on our way down there


-jh

[NYCSTRIPES]

"pinched" as in arrested? or summonsed for speeding?

[Mack]

fuck the police......the moto should be to bend you over and fuck you and make the state/municipal money......not protect and serve

[Cakes206]

fuck the police......the moto should be to bend you over and fuck you and make the state/municipal money......not protect and serve
They don't play down there, mandatory quiet hour on Sundays and everything(lunch at the track starts at 11 because of this.) I think I heard dueling banjos way in the distance too.

Quick question, the motel 6 we stay at is in mars PA, correct?

I guess I will catch up with some people when I get out there since I think I am the only one from NY thats going.

I just unfolded the trailer and tightened everything down, just need to check the tires and put some grease on the bearrings and thats good to go. I fired up the bike the other day and it sounds good, just need to give it a good onceover, and safteywire it.

As for the the oil it has only one or 2 days on it but has sat all winter so I am assuming it would be good to change it?

Tom

[Cakes206]

Quick question, the motel 6 we stay at is in mars PA, correct?
Yup.

The only sure way to tell the weather is to wake up the day of and look out the window. Even then, it's not 100%.

Yeah but if you used EFP for both days you'd still be out $150. I'd rather ride in the rain or in pain.

I pulled the trigger on transferring my day on sunday to a vir date in july, if I wasnt already past the windo wof oopportunity I would have transferred saturday too. Saturday looks like it may be a day to ride but theres nothing good about sunday. If i have to eat the day for saturday then so be it since I didnt take EFP but I will also save a few hundred on gas tolls and hotel to head all the way out there and not ride:doh:

For future reference I dont think I will plan any track days in april in the northern regions after this and the ice storm at pocono last year.

It says it right here...

Beaverun has been Cancelled...:doh:

Looks like alot of riders cancelled and the turnout was going to be too low...

[lateapex]

So now are you all coming to Pocono on Sunday :)

I'll have my rains mounted and my ice racing tires on the extra set of rims. Also I'll have snow tire on my truck just in case they make it a car day instead.

[NYCSTRIPES]

Just remember, the cancellation is for another credit for Beaverun only. I am looking at August 4-5th. The September date is abbreviated for the GP Moto Cup Premier races.
Getting started this season is not going too well, still trying to make my first track date...this year's weather stinks.
