So, I know this was a big deal when Duc was promoting it. Is any one still considering making the ride out to VIR to watch the race? Tickets in advance are $50 for one day or $65 for all three days. And for an extra $10 you can get to be in the parade lap. (not exactly sure how that works, but sounds worth it) It's the weekend of August 14th, 15th and 16th. Just over a month away. Any takers? http://www.amaproracing.com/rr/events/event.cfm?ei d=2009010955 |

Ok.... It's official. Cycle gear has 3 day passes on sell for $65 (so I've been told) or you can get them directly from the website link above. I think anyone riding will need to be available to leave Saturday morning. (Early) It's about 4 hours and a little less then 200 miles away. (4 hours? what, are we driving?) Good luck getting a room at this late a date, I'm planning on pitchin a tent. (oh yeah, that means ya gotta pay a little extra to camp at the track) So what's up folks? who wants to roll? |

I just found out that camping on the track is an additional $50 per tent. Who's got a big tent? |

Per night... But then again, we're only staying one night. Eric, that would be great! I need to get with you to pick it up. I think I can get Mike to bring it with him since he's going in the car. How big is it? (is there a sink and air conditioning?) ~lol |

I have this weekend free. If there is room for one more I'd be into it. I only have a solo tent though, sorry. I can probably get a bigger one that sleeps 4 from my roommate. Riding the blast is probably out unless I get a lot of practice between now and then, so I'm up for carpooling if anyone drives. Happy to pitch in gas money. Let me know and I'll make sure I get the days off from work and get my tickets. |

If I remember right I think it says it sleeps 10, wife bought it when she was a girl scout leader for all the girls to sleep in 1 tent. |

SUSAN!!! cool name... unique enough to be remembered forever! I think I'm sure I'm gonna get the tent from Eric so that should be good enough. Ride the Blast... 58 is long and straight.... but then again, we like to ride fast so you should probably drive. |

Jason... I'll put the Tent on my ticket and we'll just split the $50 evenly through all the folks sleeping in it. Remember your Sleeping Bag / Air mattress! Hey, at least this won't be as bad as T.W.O!!! |

Mel, we'll see how much opportunity I get to ride between now and then, if I can get comfortable enough I'll ride the blast. I've got next weekend off from work and kid free so I plan to ride a lot. Is there anywhere on this side of the water I can get a ticket from? Otherwise I guess I'll make a trip down there. I've got a couple extra sleeping bags if anyone needs one. I don't use sleeping pads/air mattresses so I don't have any of those to loan out sorry. I figure if I crash and break something, the name will have double meaning =p |

Susan, welcome to the world of Buell! If you were to cage it there, the tent/sleeping bags/backpacks could go in your car...if you were to ride, you'd get to ride! It's a tough choice. Get more time in the seat, regardless! Phil |

Only the skeletons, bro, only the skeletons. The WVA thing is a different kind of party anyway. Thought about taking my sister... (let the WV jokes begin..) |

the most partying i have seen tank do is tossing back a beer or two in his garage. no exaggeration or embellishment or stretch of the truth. A beer OR TWO... not that it is a bad thing. i admire his caliber. and i don't know much about WV 'cept for US-33 but y'all have fun at VIR and snap a few shots for me. i'll be seeing my folks that week, while being lectured on how riding a bike is gonna kill me. i will counter with the historically accurate, and undeniable fact that every one who has ever owned a dodge truck HAS or WILL DIE. |

Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to bail on this one. I'm having to find an apt last minute and so all my extra $$ needs to go towards security deposits and getting settled. Have fun and drink LOTS of beer for me. =D |

I just spoke to Mr. KD himself. He said that he'd see us at the Race. (I had to contact him about fixing my muffler) Anyway, I thought it was cool. Wonder who else is going to be there? |

Hey Prior, I'll be taking a Huge 10 man Tent (Thanks to Ekruizenga) If you need a place to sleep, let me know. We're splitting the $50 cost between those who make use. I'm sure we'll have plenty of space if your interested. The more the cheaper! |
