Every year for the past several years members of the R1 and R6 Forums have gotten together to run a trackday in memory of fallen Forum members. We are working to ensure the same holds true for 2010. Right now we are contracting for March 6 and 7, 2010 at Jennings GP in Florida.

A great location and track for the first trackday after the winter break, and a fantastic opportunity to see old friends and make new ones. The left turn dominant, 14 turn road course that is Jennings offers great traction with many technical areas that will challenge you all day long. A very safety conscious track that has ample run-off area and several areas for good passing at speeds up to 150+ MPH. But what makes this event unique is it's a trackday of predominantly friends. On track behavior is superb due to both the small group sizes we run, and the fact that most everyone knows one another. If you can only make one trackday in the coming year, this is the one to make!

Details: Please check the Jennings site for bike requirements and riders gear that they require.

The dates are March 6th & 7th. That's a Saturday and Sunday. We will be doing our own control riding during this event. For those of you that have not done a trackday, or very few trackdays, get ready for some great instruction!

Please bring fresh tires as there will not be a tire changer there. If someone wants to bring a tire changer we have no problems with that. You will need to bring food with you as we will not have the food wagon. We hope to have the gate open at 1400, that's 2 o'clock for you non military types, on Friday to let us in. The gates will close at 2200, 10 o'clock, every night. That is Jennings rule!! Other than that you can come and go as you please. Jennings does charge a $5 gate fee per person when you first arrive. They will give you an arm band to let you back in if you leave.

The price for all this fun is $150 one day and $250 for the weekend. We have to have the balance paid to Jennings by Dec 21st So the cut off for this will be December 15th! We need to stick to this cut off date. We are posting this up as early as possible so people can prepare. Camping is allowed at the track. That is what most folks do but there are local hotels for you all that do not like to camp. Please specify if you are running running 1 or both days!!! We have lowered the costs of this trackday slightly for two day attendees in hopes of having everyone plan for both days. A donation will be made as in the past, to a charity of our choosing in the name of our fallen R1-Forum and R6-Forum members.

Please send the money via paypal to ben@sofastsoclean.com Add 4% for PayPal fees. Once again the cut off for this is December 15th! Make sure you put your real and screen name in the comments section so we know who you are. If you don't have a PayPal account PM Goobr for his address.

Please sign-up in this thread and let me know what group you want to ride in. Novice, intermediate or advanced. We might have to change the groups around some depending on skill levels and the amount of riders in each group. The plan is to ride 20 minute sessions. We would like the cut off to be 20/25 riders per group but we might have to modify this depending on how many people sign up.

As far as safety goes this is a trackday and not a race! The control riders are there for every riders safety and to show the slower,novice riders the race line. If they see you riding unsafe they will pull you in and discuss the situation with you. Please remember that the control riders, corner workers have the final say on this. All of the control riders will be licensed racers or advanced level trackday junkies. In short we have some very talented riders on this board.

Please keep the chatter down in here as we need to keep up with the people who sign up. We have a PH, chat thread up and running in this section.

Post days you will attend, and group you wish to ride in.

No worries. We'll all help you out at the track as well.

Saw the Saturday only thing on the R1-Forum.

Should be out soon. But I'm glad you mentioned that. Need to renew and keep an eye out for the schedule myself.

Just let us know. We'll have room in advanced since half the advanced group is our control riders.

Once again another fantastic track day with great people. If you couldn't make it this year, try to plan for next year. We will be announcing the dates and location shortly.

Try not to miss it. This was called "one of the best track days I've ever attended" by several people who frequent tracks, and we had plenty of assistance available by experienced track riders and licensed road racers.

Great time! :fact

We are definitely going to pump it up more over here since it really is an excellent track for a YZF-R6.
