Guys and Gals, I've been exchanging emails with Dave regarding his suspension class (see other threads on this forum for the details) and I suggested that he offer this at Grattan. He's telling me he could potentially do the 8/8 or 8/9 dates (or possibly both if there was enough interest I suppose), but the magic number to make it worth his trip is 8 on a single day. From the class reviews it sounds like the information is invaluable and I think taking his class at such a technical track will would pay huge dividends in tire wear, suspension performance and more importantly the knowledge gained. Who would be interested in this and do you have a date preference?
Damn. the Aug 29th/30th would be better for me... Well hopefully he can get you guys covered the other dates.
Details here for those unfamiliar with what this all about - http://feelthetrack.com/2015-schedule-calendar/suspension-school/ $350. Understand this is in addition to the cost of the STT day. It pretty much pays for itself when your tire wear improves especially on a bigger bike like yours.
I would love to do this. So it looks like it's a one day thing right? I would be in for the 9th for sure.
So far it looks like we have the following folks interested: 1. Myself (either date) 2. Skidooboy's wife (either date) 3. Booma (9th - not sure about the 8th) 4. ccg (both days are OK I assume?) Anyone else?
Update: 1. Myself (either date) 2. Skidooboy's wife (either date) 3. Booma (9th - not sure about the 8th) 4. ccg (either date) 5. John Burton (Saturday) Need three more....
I'll add you to the list. This isn't so much about being the slow guy as it is learning about suspension and how it affects your bike, tire wear, confidence, etc.
Update: 1. Myself (either date) 2. Skidooboy's wife (either date) 3. Booma (Sunday - not sure about Saturday) 4. ccg (either date) 5. John Burton (Saturday) 6. JohnnyRocket (Saturday) Two more needed....
Jlankes will do the 9th also but I can ONLY do Sun.... so that makes; Also, is that 8 required for the whole weekend? i.e.., will he do 2 riders on Sat and 6 on Sun?? 1. Myself (either date) 2. Skidooboy's wife (either date) 3. Booma (Sunday) 4. ccg (either date) 5. John Burton (Saturday) 6. JohnnyRocket (Saturday) 7. Jlankes (Sunday) Can Burton/Rocket do Sun??
the mrs would prefer Saturday class, so she could put the knowledge to use on sunday. she is very close to setting her personal best at grattan right now. this would be our last event we can attend at grattan for the season. would love to see her get into the 1:29 range. Ski
I've asked the question. I'll post back when I get the answer. Current tally: 1. Myself (either date) 2. Skidooboy's wife (prefer Saturday) 3. Booma (Sunday) 4. ccg (either date) 5. John Burton (Saturday) 6. JohnnyRocket (Saturday) 7. Jlankes (Sunday)
