Okay... the time is approaching for people to commit... myself included.. Being in the military, getting time off isn't always the easiest... Let's talk numbers..


Let’s say that Nik’s trailer can hold 8 bikes and my toyhauler can hold 3 and we could put 2 in the back of my truck..

Round trip is 2300 miles.. lets say we can each average 10mpg which is reasonable at 65mph. That is $920 per truck. If we pack 8 into Nik’s trailer that is only $115 each bike. Here is the problem.. Nik has a 2 seat truck but could possibly take a friends truck that could seat 5… that leaves 3 people with no ride out and oh by the way, I think Nik wants to leave on Tuesday in time to make it for both the Thursday and Friday trackday.


Now let’s say we have 10 people that want to go.. that justifies two trucks, doubles the cost of fuel to $1840 and now it costs $184 per person for fuel. The bonus is that I can seat 5 in my truck and I can sleep 6 or 7 in the toy hauler.

This is what I propose, being open and honest.. Flat rate of $200 per person. If the costs are significantly less we’ll get some money back to you, but the drivers keep the excess to cover their wear and tear on their truck..


Also, we need a commitment by Wed June 4th of your full $200 of bike travel costs. This is non-refundable. As for getting yourself there, we don’t know yet because we don’t know how many trucks are going and how many people are going and how many seats are available.


Also, I just checked with STT about availability for Friday’s trackday. It lists only novice and intermediate.. I don’t know if that means that expert is sold out or they are just doing two groups.


So who is ready to commit?
