Talladega roll call/schedule

You won't be chasing Stroud unless your on a 250

 

or a 650

 

At this point I'm going with E-SS only. I helped start the class, so I need to support it.

 

Understood my friend. Well, it'll be good to see you out there regardless.

Guess I'll be doing LWTSS for the first time evah.

 

Hello all. My 9 year old son and I are considering racing minis at Talladega. Anyone else riding the mini classes? What to expect or advice? We have not raced with wera before but after looking at the rulebook I think we are good on bikes and gear.

 

I know of several that will be there next month trying out there new minis. WERA is very mini friendly with license, entry fees, and transponder rentals. I think Tally is a great "first time" track for both rider and parents. Tdub

 

You have Kenny to snuggle wit tho...

Another way to say it!

Ditto! Your bike all set???

Me too Bro if the SV is ready. Gettin close and I haven't heard from Charlie yet. Might just have to run the EX in LWT! I could at least be the proverbial knat on yo arse.
Got my rains ready to hook up!!!

 

Looks like the C Expert classes will be interesting to watch. There will be Young Guns and ex-RB Rookies attending, including Jake Lewis, Garrett Gerloff, Hayden Gillim, and Frankie Lee Gillim. Jake and Garrett battled down to the wire last season in the GP classes, and now have moved up to 600s. The mini class looks to be getting some new blood this year as well. Tdub

 

I remember that little kid giving me fits during trackdays....... I can't wait to see him on a 600

 

C'mon up Sean. Chris and I will be there in his RV, should be fun.

 

Looking better. Bringing the R1 out for sure and likely a couple of superbike SV's. Bringing a few new to WERA guys as well should be fun.

 

It will be good to see you back in the SE, Ben!

 

any word on the schedule?? I assume pretty close to last year?

 

any news on the race schedule?

 

My first time at Tally, Hotel suggestions??? Is under $70 possible without having to de-lice when I get home.. something easy to find at 2am would be a plus

I did a search but it seems a lot of them have changed names etc

Thanks

 

when I raced, I usually stayed at the Econo Lodge in Oxford, there are other motels at that exit and I can't remember all the names, sorry

 

I copied this from a post in the Fontana thread, but it is probably more appropriate here.

Hey Britt,

Softer Asphalt...That's a good selling point. I'm actually doing the somewhat unthinkable. I'm sending my son away for a race without me or my wife being there. It will be his first time flying on an airplane by himself. He is going to check out the east coast scene at Taladega. He will feel like a pro, flying into the race with only his gearbag.

There are a lot of people I would like to meet out there from this board, but it is enough of a stretch on the budget to send him and rent a bike, so I can't make it.

His name is Tyler Linders and if any of you see him please go up and say Hi. He is number 48, but I'm not sure what number he will have there. The Gerloff's are kind enough to rent me a bike and offer tuning help, and Jon Boucher from NextMotoChampion.com is picking him up at the airport and driving him to the track.

Britt, Tryce, the Gerloff family, Clay, Mookie, Rocky Stargel, and Chip are all people I would like to meet in the southeast. Hopefully, our paths will cross someday.

 

Rob, we will be there so if Tyler needs any help, we would be glad to assist. There we be plenty of the kids there for him to keep occupied. Tdub

 

Sorry you can't make it Fuzzy, I'll see you at the next one then

 

Yeah, let's go Sean! Gonna be fun. :up:
