I'm planning on doing 4-17 but not sure about this one yet. I wanna do beaver and mid-ohio even before 5-22 nelson. Not 100% on beaver yet though. Nelson 5-22 maybe.
You ever do an event of theirs b4 (fasttrax)? If so, did it seem to run well?

Actually I think then run a below par event but it's cheap and they are the only ones running Nelson this year

They pissed me off early on in the tech inspection, but I guess they did get that straightened out. On the track, I rode A group with their CRs and they were not impressive. Lines were sloppy and some really sketchy riding. I'm not saying I would never ride with them again, but I am not looking to do it. Only way I will is if someone is posting up that they are going and everything works perfectly for me to be there and that is the only way to get my fix.

I'm with Nate and Kyle on FastTrax - I have a long write up on the day we all did with them last year somewhere on this site.

silvr6 wrote: Actually I think then run a below par event but it's cheap and they are the only ones running Nelson this year Yeah that's just it. It's the only way to get on that track this year and I have a bone to pick with that place. It ate my engine my first time there b4 the track was even dry after 2 rain sessions. I was really liking that track so I gotta go back even if it's with fasttrax. It's worth a try.

I was really liking that track so I gotta go back even if it's with fasttrax. It's worth a try. Ridiculous doesn't even do their Beav day justice. If you read the thread about it from last year you will understand the bad vibe. CR right in front of me highsided in turn 0 in the first session of the day. His bike and body were done for the weekend. Mike (and others) almost got taken out at least twice. And that is just the beginning. However, I rode with them again later back at Nelson an there were so few people they ran a semi-open track day. B group and then one open group. In the open group we got 40min of track time each session. And I had a great time. The guys there didn't make stupid passes at least around me. Long story but I too love that track, bumps and all and it's only a forty min drive for me and cheap so I'll be doing multiple days with them this year. So I'll see you out there; Highwire I didn't meet you last year, my name's Ben and I'll be the guy going really slow in turn 4.

Oh i looove that corner. Seems like T4 can trick you into going too slow thru the middle. Seems like once you're there you're like, "What the hell man? Get on it!" Like I said though, I only ever did two sessions on a soaked track and the third one was dry out back all the way up to the last corner, so I'm sure I'll put it together after some more time. I hope anyway. I love the exit.
