Re: NESBA track days - VIR 10/17-18
I'm in Blue Ridge, and ROCKIT is in Roanoke.
Yeah man, Patriot is on a Sunday, so there you go. That's the only configuration I've yet to do. It just so happens to be the cheapest as well. Need any more reasons to go?

Well, you can sign up as a member for $75, which will make your track days cheaper. However, if you just want to feel it out for your first time, the intro (2 sessions) is free. If you want a full track day, and don't yet want to sign up as a member, its $140 for Sunday (Patriot) and $240 for Monday (Full).
As for passing, that depends on what group you're in. In B group you can only pass on the straight, and in I group you can only pass on the outside. I think the 'rumor' you're referring to is that a control rider has to wave you by for you to pass him. They're out there for crowd control and to make sure you're not riding over your head. Trust me, there's plenty of time for you to pass people and get your speed thrills.

Re: NESBA track days - VIR 10/17-18
Can someone explain how track days work? I've gone to Summit's or other track sites but they don't really spill the info on how to register.
Cost?
I'm assuming you need full leathers?
Other gear requirements?
What kind of bike prep is necessary?
What class will my Ninja 650 be in?
I've neverd "dragged knee", is that a concern?
Do they bike race at all tracks, VIR, MIR, Summit?
What are all the local tracks? 2.5hrs from the 703
Will you go through a set of normal street tires in one day?
How does insurance work if you crash?
When do I have to sign up for the free intro sessions?
And are they truely free?
Hmm thats all I can think of for now.....
