They have power, I think it is $20 for the day and then you get $10 back when you give them their key back for the box, so it is really $10.

Summit also has an air compressor and free wi-fi (not sure how the wi-fi helps with your bike, just something to know).

If you have a GPS, the coordinates to the front gate for Summit is N 39°14.569' W077°58.372'

I had some time this morning, below is a map of the paddock. The red square is usually where we pit, blue line is how you get into the paddock and the orange is the bathrooms.

Thanks for the info! Really looking forward to this!

heres what went down. first session went out and the little red light on my dash was on and it said FI. the bike ran fine so i was just like whatever. ran fine the whole session. 2nd session i was WOT out of 9 and the tach just goes to zero, bought throws me off the damn thing with the engine braking, i throw my hand up and pit in. i stop at pit out and everything seems ok. i go out and run a few more laps and it runs fine. 3rd session it dies coming out of 10 so now im on the straightaway with no power, throw my hand up and drift to a stop in the grass. restart it, merge back on, bike dies again between 2 and 3, hand up, pull off, restart away we go. bike dies in 8 on the SAME FREAKING LAP, so i pull off on the inside of now as i almost get my ass ran over by 3 guys as im coasting through 9. i sit there in the grass for a minutes trying to restart it, wont start so i push it to the fence and wait. about 5 minutes later red flag comes out because kimmie went down in 5 ( she got bumped to A btw) so im like what the heck ill try again. bike fires up and i ride to pit.

took the bike over to karns who was on shenedoah. checked the tip over sensor, kickstand bypass thing, all the connections, fuel pump, everything electrical we could. he couldnt figure it out. couldnt check the ECU so maybe its that. the gauges turn on and the needle does its thing, but the fuel pump doesnt kick over or do whatever it does. of course after i rode it to shenedoah it wouldnt start so i had to tow it back to main and now it wont start and now idk wtf to do about it :rant:

Dunno - something is either loose or shorting, not sure why it would be ECU related but Jason/Dan would know better than me.
Problem with intermitent shit is trying to replicate it. Swapping the harness and ECU would be a lot easier than buying a new bike. It's not hard to do, just time consuming. I'm guessing the guy that had the bike before you did a slice and dice job on the harness. Could be coming back to haunt you now.

new harness and ecu plus time consuming= money i dont have. plus my tires started tearing again. jiggy said it was hot tear even though it was the same pressure i ran at NJMP when it was in the 90's. took the rear all the way to 32psi in the SC pros. didnt do a thing. plus my brakes went soft after a few laps and i was almost pulling to the handlebars. i just dont get how this shit happens because i dont touch my bike between TD's unless i pull the wheels to get tires but every time i go to the track its like i have a new bike and idk what problem im going to have that weekend. hence selling it and starting over with something else because this bike is nothing but a headache and i dont have the cash to sort it out

Just a thought on the suspension issues - it was a lot hotter today than I think when you ran at NJMP? That could certainly make a difference in tire wear. You're starting to ride fast enough where little shit actually does matter.
