I already asked for this day off from work, i'll pick up my spot as soon as it becomes available in their shopping cart! Friday actually works out great because I can ride hard, then recover over the weekend

got my card wooo!!

Now about getting the bikes there. Are we basically on our own?

Do we have any groups of people wanting to go in on a hotel room and or transportation to the track day? I know we have some people that need a way to get there.. coughmecough and a few others..

I can chip in for gas, food, board. whatever!

Yep, as we start getting more accurate head counts well pull resources for transportation and figure out lodging.

I will be driving my truck and pulling a trailer. So I'll have a few spots for bikes.

Does anybody know of a trailer we can get? I'll put my bike in the bed of my truck and can tow as many as we can fit.

If you do the MARS Class on Sunday, you will get a bunch of discount coupons. Cycle Gear is giving us a book with 4 coupons, including %15 off gear. Steve is doing a special on Oil change and safety wiring your bike. Between those two you will save twice what the class costs, maybe more. Not to mention you will be waaaaaay more prepared for the trackday.

If there are no extra member trailers around, have two peeps split the cost of renting one. It is only about $50.00 for 2 days. Just don't mention it's going to Cali.

We will be assigning transpo for everyone by the week before. So, if anyone has the proper truck or trailer...step up

Good idea Pat. I'll have room in the truck for people.

Sounds like a plan! See you Sunday! Where exactly at Las Vegas Speedway is the MARS Class going to be held? Pit area by the moto track?

Nevermind - seen the post LOL See you guys there!

Question, if one is to attend this pre track day, would you suggest also signing up for the beginner track day course at willows? Or, will this class be enough to get you going right into the arai (beginner) group for first timers?

Definitely sign up for the track day class.
The mars event does not replace that.
