New to Socal

Sirmilton · 08-22-2007, 04:52 PM

Hey there, found a post on 600RR.net about the Buttonwillow trackday in October, and thought I would join up.

I moved to Santa monica from Connecticut about 5 months ago. I sold my '03 R6 to move out here, and am picking up a 600RR on Saturday. I did the Penguin Racing School at Loudon Raceway in NH twice and loved it more than anything. I'm looking to get into tracking the bike pretty frequently, and I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch of like-minded people.

Right now I still have alot of prep to do before getting it on the track, but I have all the gear I need. The only big thing missing is a way to transport the bike up there, my car is not exactly well suited to hauling a bike plus gear and such. If anyone lives close by and wants to be my new best friend and hauling buddy I'd be ecstatic.

Welcome Darcy!! Good to have another track lover on board!

We don't have many people signed up for this trackday yet, but as time goes by there should be someone from your area that can help you get to the track.

You will have a great time at Buttonwillow!!

Welcome,

You live in a riding mecca down there in the Santa Monica Mountains. Word here, just be careful up there on the canyon roads. CHP is out there in force from Friday afternoon till Sunday Afternoon. When I lived down there, would sched my rides around those times.

I'm sure you'll find a buddy soon to give you a lift.
