PPIR on October 5th!

This event is tailored to experienced trackday riders and racers. What does that mean?

It means that this event is NOT geared to new students or riders who have never been on a track before. There will not be instructors at this event.

To attend you will need to prove some level of previous instruction. There are three ways that this can happen:

1) If you have atteneded a Chicane Trackday event you are eligible
2) If you are on the Pueblo list you are eligible
3) If you hold a certificate from a recognized race training organization (Vanmar, MRA, Keith Code, Pridmore, Spencer, Schwantz, Penguin etc) or a valid race license, you are eligible.

Cost- $200
Includes track access for one rider and lunch for one rider ( please note that in order for your lunch to be included you need to sign up by Wed. Oct 1st )

Sessions will be run and group size limited to maintain safety on the track:

Beginner Session - is made up of riders with limited track experience. Riders in this group have atteneded a basic on track course and are building their skills and speed. Riders going around Pueblo in the 1:55+ range should consider riding in this group. There will be 25 spots in this session

Intermediate Session - is made up of more experienced riders that are comfortable at a greater speed. Riders in this group will tend to be street riders or racers that have a reasonable amount of track experience and are comfortable with passing at closer distances. Riders going around Pueblo in the 1:42 - 1:55 range should consider riding in this group. There will be 25 spots in this session.

Advanced Session - is made up of the fastest, most skilled riders. Many riders in this session will be licensed racers. These riders are comfortable with close passes and very high speeds. Riders going around Pueblo faster than 1:42 should consider riding in this group. Due to the greater skill requirement this session will have 30 spots.

I have let these posts slide, but it is getting closer and closer to an advertisement for a commercial exercise and less about an informative post.

Please guys, don't start making me regulate the track day (for $$) and photos (for $$) posts into the Supporting Vendor area by
bumping these non stop.

Or, post them in the Supporting Vendor area.

I filled my scuba tank with nitrous and plumbed it straight into the intake. (I hope tech doesn't mind that I also routed a line to my helmet!)

You might as well give up all hope.
