    Just got the Gingerman news letter stating that your 3rd attendance is free!!! That's some pretty sweet news. Just wish there were more dates.

    Anybody know the price? Looks like it might be $75 but I'm not sure.
    Might come out and play depending on the weather.
    What end of the pits do all the STT riders hang out at?

    Less interaction on Fridays than at a usual Novice day.

    Yes same basic requirements as "most" track day orgs require:nod:

    I do believe 75$ is the price.

    Gonna be sunny and 70* or higher:getdown:

    Sometimes the track goes green a little bit earlier depending on the track staff and who ever has used the track during the day!

    I did quite a few of these last summer when they were on Wednesday nights. It was a nice change from regular track days. Less people with a little less structure - a few times attendance was pretty low so they didn't bother breaking us into groups so you could come and go as you please.

    Now they moved to Friday's I'm not sure attendance will be so light.

    I'm hoping I can break away from work early tomorrow and make it out. I haven't been able to make a track day yet this year.
