    so buy a set of take off tires from somebody, I have a set in the garage that will work just fine for you for the rest of the year, somebody else here also offered you a set. Most race take offs like mine have maybe 2 days on them and are less than a month or two old... They wont be ideal for a race but they'll haul you around a track day just fine.

    Will we be able to get into the track on Friday evening? If so, what time?

    I'm trying to decide if I want to come Friday, or just get up really early on Saturday morning.

    Rain

    This is my second time going to an STT event, it looks like we should be expecting rain and I was just wondering what condition would the track have to be in to be considered rideable or not? I don't have a set of rain tires so it's got me a little weary.

    Kirby - I'm not sure of STT's process for determining rideability, but I will say this. Just because "some" people go out in the rain, it doesn't mean that you have to.

    Yes, it will help to teach you how to be smooth on the throttle/brakes, but it can also teach you fiberglass repair, parts replacements, and wallet draining if you make a mistake. Some people say..."I paid for the track, so I'm riding!" To me, the expense of a lost day of riding, is FAR less than any repairs, or medical expenses.

    When I was coaching, I would go out if the members went out, but without rain tires, or street tires, and on DOT race tires, it's a bit sketchy. It's not even an option on slicks.

    Rain time is a great time to walk around, mingle, and meet new friends. :cool:

    my 2 cents

    also that north track does not really dry that well, it can look pretty dry but still have moisture on it. In my opinion better to wait and avoid the potential of an expensive lap.

    What's really sad is that the trailer is already packed and other that water and food, I'm ready to leave now. LMAO!

    It's been way to long since I've been to the track. I've even accepted the fact that I may spend Saturday huddled under my canopy, due to Issac, but at least I'll be at the track. :cool:

    I didn't know you can't get through the gate until 0700. That kinda sucks! Thanks ACC - not.
