    Just bought my membership and both days at Road America. See you guys there if you're headed out. This will be my first time riding with STT and @ Road America. I was there to watch MotoAmerica a couple weeks back and can't wait to ride. See ya there!

    I'm thinking about finally using my tire warmers. Is there power available if I don't have a generator?

    Awesome!

    I’ll be there - white van with Vesrah decals. Stop by and say hi.

    As far as power, there’s some but it is limited. You pay when you pay the gate fee. I’d also bring a long cord as you may not be able to get a spot right by the hookups.

    Where in Wisconsin are you from? Milwaukee here.

    Saturday was a good day, even if a bit hot. Lots of red flags in intermediate though.
    I lost the business card of the photographer when I was getting loaded up on Saturday. Does anyone know the name of the company that was shooting photos?

    Man it was freaking awesome. I had a great time. Glad I decided to do novice on Saturday and intermediate on Sunday. It gave me a chance to get familiar with the track. I love the course. Met some cool people and had a blast. Was pitted next to a father and son duo who ride and race together! Hope I can do something like that with my son when he gets older. I really like the FM broadcast of the PA system on Sunday. It made hearing what's going on much easier.

    I think my favorite turns are the carousel and the left hander right before it. I found myself rolling off and braking way too early going into turn 1. Never got that one right all day. I guess it's better than doing it too late though . It was my first time ever having to haul it down from such a long straight so I was being extra careful.

    I also enjoyed the staff with STT. The coaches were all helpful and the riders were all friendly. Registration was simple and the tech outlines on here and linked in the event email ensured that I wasnt surprised by anything at the track. That was the most thorough flag breakdown I've ever seen, and necessary.

    Cant wait to go back so i can conquer turn 1. We had consecutive intermediate sessions ruined on Sunday due to constant red flags. But I got one more session after the rain dried out. Sun came out and cleared everything up nicely after most had left so the track was pretty open.

    I was the guy on the Blue and Orange GSXR 600 who thought he was going faster than he was
