RE: [ST] Cancelled!?!?!



Jay,

I was certainly interested, but couldn't afford it. Plus, I know nothing of
how Hawk Racing School runs their track days. I had e-mailed them three or
four weeks ago to ask if I could take photos at that track day, but got NO
RESPONSE. Which leads me to wonder how many other e-mail inquiries went
unheeded. The poor response, IMO, is their own fault for not promoting their
track day better. Triumph does have to take some blame too, as they asked
for the track day and then gave their dealers ZERO promotional materials.

As an alternative, I *STRONGLY* suggest you consider this track day:

http://www.samnet.net/racingrep/Trackdays/GeneralInfo.html

I know Tony well, I have been to at least 6 of his track days, and each one
is better than the last. For this one, he'll have at least 6 fellow racers
(friends of mine) who make excellent instructors. As a point of fact, most
are MSF instructors on the off-racing weekends. This time, Tony will have
two ambulances on standby. We've only needed that second one ONE TIME. (At
the last track day, a fellow who should probably find another hobby tossed
his ZR-7 and needed a trip to the hospital. Little did the crew know that
Allen is *always* disoriented.) The track day stops until there's a EMT crew
on site. With 2 units, that won't happen again.

A hearty hot lunch and PLENTY of drinks are provided as part of the $175
fee. Add the free instruction, free riding analysis, and help setting up
your suspension (I've been known to give a hand with that), and you've got a
very high-quality track day experience for a very reasonable cost.

FWIW, there were 4 Triumphs at his most recent Track Day, on July 8th. Oh,
and I should point out, I'm there getting good photos of you on your bike,
potentially in the tightest lean angle you've ever had.
