Default Poconos 5/25

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.

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!

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.

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.
