Another interested rider
I'm a newbie to this list, and to BMWs (just purchased my R12S a year ago). I just got back from a FastTrack Day at Willow Springs and can't wait to get out again. I ran into a RaceTech technician who said he's worked on N8's shocks. I plan to get my Ohlins worked on prior to my next track day as the lack of plush-ness in certain spots on the track did not do my confidence any good. On the other hand, it's been quite a while since riding on the track! Can't wait for Buttonwillow-

I expect that you will let us know how to "officially" sign up for this event when you have determined the exact date. Consider me an enthusiastic participant!

Jennings?! Yeah T8 is crucial if you going for your best time around there. Actually if you crew up the entrance to 7, your done till 11. Constantly bouncing east and west, not going north! lol
We will be having private traiing days there for maximum riders. I have done 3 now and there are great days. If you back home and wanna come ride just let us know! TTYL, Nate |

...Yellow, you are always very welcome to come over and participate!
 That way we can show you a trick or two for your future racing career! ...this seems to be taking on a very nice dynamic... I am coming from the show with quite a bit of added enthusiasm... It looks as though - thanks to N8! - BMW NA is willing to take some "ownership" of this event... talks are on the way... we will have one, if not two HP2S's there... and we also may have some other bikes there... The only "drawback" being that we may have more than the 15 riders there that we have now... but I'll still limit the amount of people we'll have there... ...there is also a slight chance of having another racer there... more on that when I know more...
