    Since I'm a new guy PN I think I'm good for V7 and C Superstock for Saturday only. I'm on a 97 Suzuki GSXR 600 and being a "mature" guy for first race, I'm open to suggestions from those with more education in such matters :)

    Also - since it is a double header North Central Sportsman race you'll be good for Sunday races too if you'd like.

    Assuming Saturday goes well, I would like to. I guess I thought since it was a National Challenge day also I would be out of luck. I appreciate the info! Guess I'll have to pack some more groceries!

    Question for anyone. The family and I will be rolling into the track Friday night around 7ish. I was thinking we are able to get into the pit area and set up camp. Can anyone confirm this? Is there a camping fee in the pits? I guess all the bike prep and I forgot about actually sleeping.

    You should be okay, but call Grattan to be sure. I camped friday before the races in June, believe they charged 30 per person.

    I think the camping fee is only for the upper level. You'll definitely be able to get in at 7pm.

    30 per person? What a freckin rip off!! I'm glad I live in the south.

    Correction. 25 a head plus 25 to camp.

    That makes more sense. 25 gate fee. 25 to camp as a group. Thought it was gate plus 30 a person to camp.

    Nope. Girlfriend and myself 50 for gate, 25 to camp. 75 total [emoji20]

    Yeah gate is always per person. But I have never heard of camping charge per person. And still haven't from what your
    saying.

    Yes! That would be me :) What an awesome weekend. I couldn't possibly thank everyone enough for all the help and patience shown to a noob. Track days are great, but nothing ads an element of spice like the thrill of competition. Cowboy Dann, nice to meet you in Tech and thanks for the words of encouragement. A special thanks to all of the corner workers and WERA folks for making the weekend I've dreamed about most of my life as perfect as I imagined. My family and I had a great time and we shall return!
