Dirtbiking In Elsinore [Again]

It’s an Anti Monkey Butt Kinda Day!

After the June Gloom cleared on Sunday, we decided to head out to Elsinore for some dirtbiking.  Last time I was being a wuss and although I was not exactly McGrath this time either, I was a *little* more aggressive.  I owe that to just coming off the racetrack recently.  I am just getting used to the hp of my KX and I definitely have to be mindful of gripping the tank and frame with my legs and knees when hitting the throttle or it causes me to snap back, thus more [accidental] throttle. Not good! 

The 1.7 Mile Infield Course at Autoclub Speedway With FastrackRiders – YES!!!

AKA My Day In Level 1

FastrackRiders put on a trackday event June 7th and 8th on the infield course (1.7 miles) in Fontana.  Please note that the infield course map on Autoclub’s website is actually different than what Fastrack ran.  The configuration that we ran was actually tons more fun and more technical! I added a modified map to show you the course we rode. So while some of you naysayers (I won’t say who) who thought this was going to be a Mickey Mouse course, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.  This infield course was technical and challenging and was quite a work out.  Plus since the length afforded so many laps you could improve upon the entries, apexes and the drives out of some pretty tricky turns without having to spend significant time riding down very long straights, which really doesn’t require much skill IMHO.  Now don’t get me wrong, Autoclub is my home track and there is definitely a level of comfortability that you have when riding a configuration you know like the back of your hand.  But the infield was a nonstop, stay-on-your-toes experience.  Even the fast guys had a difficult time passing each other until certain areas of the track.   Plus it has been a few years since this configuration has been offered, no one had the advantage of memory by repetition.  Everyone was challenged! 

An Awesome Birthday Present

 

I received a package today care of my good friend, Em Alicia (MissBusa) and to my surprise it was the Pink MagOGrip Wristband that I really wanted!  The MagOGrip actually has some pretty great sticking power and it’s cute, too!  For those of you who like pink, or if you know a lady rider / mechanic who loves pink, this makes a great gift

Many thanks to you, Em You are awesome!

Memorial Day Dirtbike Riding In Elsinore

Well, I know it has been awhile but Shawn finally dragged me out of the house and into the dirt again.  We’ve both been so busy working , we’ve had almost no time to play whatsoever.   Another reason is that he had sold his last dirtbike ( XR100) a while back so I let him use my own (which has better suspension anyway) to hit some jumps and berms to get in a little slide time before Road America this weekend.  

My Customary Birthday Trackday With FastrackRiders!

Although I usually ride on my birthday (which was Sunday) I switched with one of the other registration girls whose birthday was also on May 22.  I was going to be at the racetrack both days anyway so she might as well get out and have some fun away from the smell of exhaust,  race fuel and trackfood–which I find palatable–on her own birthday.   I am thankful to be able to ride AT ALL so I was game.  I’m so glad we switched!   The weather was perfect!

Ride the Autoclub Infield Track with Fastrackriders For Only $135! June 7, 8th!

June 7th & 8th (Tuesday & Wednesday) Auto Club Speedway AMA Infield Track (LEVEL 2 SOLD OUT for June 8th)

Auto Club Speedway’s Infield Road Course is a nice flowing 1.7 mile seventeen turn track that is fun and challenging. Level I allows passing only on the straights, Level II allows passing on the outside in any corner, and Level III has no passing restrictions. Garages are available for the first seventy five riders. In Level I and Level II the straight away ends at the second set of braking cones. Novice Rider School Students ride with Level I riders. Six foot passing rule is always in force. This is really a fun track. It’s not long but very flowing and it is challenging which really helps a rider develop their technical skills. The track has been reconfigured for 2007 for better flow and safety. Groups will be limited to 25 riders. Fastrack riders runs through lunch so each rider gets eight twenty minute sessions on the track minus any lost time to incidents. Fastrack hires extra corner workers so all get a one hour break. We operate out of Garage 3 and the first 75 to 80 riders have garages to use. Auto Club Speedway has the finest Fire & Safety Crews around and pick up crashes promptly so less time is lost in the event of a crash. Two ALS ambulances on site so no lost time in the event of a transport and yes, always a full contingency of corner workers. 10 Freeway to the Cherry Avenue exit which is about three miles east of the 15 freeway coming out of Los Angeles. Turn North on Cherry and the Speedway is about four blocks down on the left.
