Sounds fun, but not what I was hoping for and $289 is outta my budget for a track day. You all have fun. :thumbup

If I'm in town, I'm there. Thanks for the info.

The payment for the track day will include event tickets for the entire weekend and access to all the R1-forum.com / R1-forum.com activities. It's a rare oppurtunity that anyone will have The sponsors above helping with setup, maintenance and technique like that sponsors we've assembled. BIG THANKS to Chuck Graves for setting up and organizing things If there's enough interest we'll have a Drag Strip Day on Tuesday and there's a Stunt Show being planned as well.....

I think the flyer should say April 30 to May 1st. Rather than June 30th to May 1st.

hahahah YEAH Fixed... thanks for the heads up...

Sounds like fun. Count me in...

:bow :bow :bow You guys have really outdone yourselves. This is going to be one incredible event. Consider me prepaid. Are we putting a cap on how many people show? I know I can convince about 10 people to come with me.:sneaky Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in.... Nice one. I prolly got a few blokes who will come too. Thanks for the effort will be a great time- xDx

Who do we contact for the deposit? I see the check gets made to CRG but does it go to Tobefast??? xDx

We'll get up mailing address for payments... It's capped to 150 on the track for Monday.... There will also be event passes for members not riding. Just remember they gotta be a forum member to attend and ride a R1 or R6 at the event..... Don't want any hurt feeling if someone's turned away at the track. 1. VPREATR 2. Chuck Graves 2. SpidermanSS 3. Jerry McCoy 4. Mike McCoy 5. Randy McCoy 6. Ducatiwv

Shane please add me & Mark (firehawk 2003)... and I'll send check/paypal as soon as posted. thanks Dylan

Ok so I'm a member but I don't want to ride the track, what is the charge for just being part of the events, (just hanging around, bike set up and stuff like that):cool:

There will also be event passes for members not riding. Details to follow... We are awaiting the final $ from the track.

SWEET!!! Thanks to Chuck Graves, VPREATER and all the other sponsors. This event will rock! :rock Quick Question: If I want to bring my GF but she doesn't want to do the Trackday, is there a package deal to get her into all the events too?

so is this a r1-forum sponsired event ?

:bow :thumbup :thumbup

I will be going as well but don't know if I will ber riding on the track yet....................see ya there..........BTW a drag event would be a lot of fun and the strip they have there is in about perfect condition.I think alot of people would love to run their bike on the clock just for kicks.not to mention the grudge matches...

Sounds great! I'm in provided I'm back.... Please let us know the $ for non riders... My wife will want to go even if I'm not there. Thanks. Ride safe.

see that is why i think the EAST COAST CONVENTION will be better for the fact we will be there for a week hanging out not just a weekend and not on a track but over 3 different states in a few days and probably a thousand miles or so

Originally posted by southern118 see that is why i think the EAST COAST CONVENTION will be better for the fact we will be there for a week hanging out not just a weekend and not on a track but over 3 different states in a few days and probably a thousand miles or so Doesn't matter which one is better. No need to start that whole ours is better stuff, bro. You guys are going to have a blast, and so will we! I'm sure a few East Coast guys will make the trek out for ours, and I'm still thinking about driving out to the Gap! I'm happy that I'll be able to meet a bunch of Forum members, and speed legally! :rock :fact :riding I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI... There will be two groups tracking (like most track days) Group A and Group B, especially given there is going to be some experience out on the track. Shane confirmed this, so happy little guys like me won't have to show up VP and Chuck Graves out on the track....:crash :bs :lol

Shane, are you going to try and come up with some Hotel info as well ? I will definitely try my best to make it, sounds like a blast. Can you also post what will be included with the AMA weekend as well. I was going to get my tickets for that soon, but will wait until I get the info. Should be a blast. Thanks to all the sponsers who are setting this up !

There will be events scheduled for the forum members.. Food... beverages.. giveways etc. An official announcement on all that will come in a few weeks, I'm sure the track day will sell out fast and once that's filled I'm sure more sponsors will come aboard with more support. :)

Whew!

Originally posted by SpidermanSS We are going to do a forum ride to dinner Saturday night also :fact Probably won't be able to do that. I REALLY want to, but with the bike in race trim, I won't have time to ride Saturday, watch the race on Sunday, and have her back together for a riders' meeting @ 8am Monday. CAN'T WAIT to get this paid for! I was going to do Fontana with Fastrack on the 23rd, but I'll wait till the 2nd. :rock :rock :rock :rock

I can’t wait all this working on the team race bikes, making parts, and doing PR has taken up all my riding time. This is going to be cool! My entire company and race team will be in attendance. They are all very excited! Most of them have R1s or R6s and will participate in the riding. This should be the best track day ever with all the companies that are involved. I have a Superbike / streetbike that I have wanted to ride on the track, this will be the perfect time. Aaron Gobert and Jason Disalvo are going to hang out on Monday and ride. Josh Herrin who many do not know will be there riding (Josh is a 15 year old future star that we are sponsoring this year) He is coming out from Atlanta for the event with his R6. If anyone has any?s or special needs, just let us know and will try to accommodate you. (Hotel info, bike set up, or anything else) E-mail us @ sales@gravesport.com please leave day time phone # where you can be reached. See you there Chuck

I have a memorial ride on Sat,and early Sunday I am going on. Can you please let me know the info on how this will work. I have seen it was 275ish for the race weekend, and the Convention. I think there are some other Arizona riders doing the same. Looking forward to meeting you guys.. Thanks, Brian :riding :fork

Originally posted by Charles Graves Can get some feed back on the info that you would like posted. I will be happy to reply. Chuck Dates, times, payment ect. We know nothing. Appreciate information as soon as possible. End of the month is coming very soon. Thanks.

Originally posted by notstock Dates, times, payment ect. We know nothing. Appreciate information as soon as possible. End of the month is coming very soon. Thanks. Also I would like to know if there is a special price for those that want to attend but not ride the track. I would like to meet members and get my bike mapped by dynojet.

Pricing is $249 for the Monday track day.. Please download the form posted and fill it out. It has all of the information needed to get registered. Since some members didn't want to attend the races Saturday and Sunday we removed that from the pricing format. http://www.r1-forum.com/pics/westcoast.doc :D :thumbup

Originally posted by SpidermanSS There will also be event passes for members not riding. Details to follow... We are awaiting the final $ from the track. Any more info on this? By not riding do you mean trackday?

As I am easily confused I know and am practised at looking for my own way to cross the river. 1. Race tickets http://www.californiaspeedway.com/tickets/

Gonna be a GREAT TIME.....! Thanks Spiderman. The download was only the sign up page for ridding; here is a list of more questions that will help me and all others too. 1. The pricing for Mondays ridding for novice riders is 125.00 + the 249.00 on Fastrack Riders page. Is this the correct amount you need from us if we are first time track riders? 2. Race tickets; are we on our own to purchase them from Cal Speedway? I was under the impression that there was going to be a package deal for forum members. 3. Is there going to be any special events scheduled or pit passes / garage passes that we can purchase or that we are allowed to attend? 4. Is there going to be any hospitality tents from manufactures or dealers that we will be allowed in? Thanks.

The pricing for Mondays ridding for novice riders is 125.00 + the 249.00 on Fastrack Riders page. Is this the correct amount you need from us if we are first time track riders? We had the $125 beginers fee removed from the fast track sign up form for our event. The download form does reflect it (it's not on it). 2. Race tickets; are we on our own to purchase them from Cal Speedway? I was under the impression that there was going to be a package deal for forum members. Originally the price quoted had race weekend passes along with our event but too many people requested to not attend the race weekend so we removed them. I might could get a slight discount for members attending both but I can't guarantee anything at this point in the game. 3. Is there going to be any special events scheduled or pit passes / garage passes that we can purchase or that we are allowed to attend? We have no control over the AMA weekend and the racers, teams etc will be on the track. Our events are Monday and listed below. McCoy Motorsports - http://www.tobefast.com Giveaways and much more. (Primary Sponsor) R1-Forum.Com : Organized Events and Giveaways R6-Forum.Com : Organized Events and Giveaways Organized events to be announced soon. California Speedway - http://www.californiaspeedway.com California Speedway will make available one free pass to the AMA weekend event for pre-entered riders. DynoJet Research, Inc. - http://www.dynojet.com DynoJet will have the official AMA mobile dyno available for tuning. All Dyno work will be free of charge for R1's and R6's that are equipped with a Power Commander and/or other DynoJet equipment. They will have two (2) staff in attendance. Ohlins - http://www.ohlins.com Ohlins will have their service truck and two (2) staff available for consultation free of charge. Schedule permitting a technical suspension seminar will be presented. Sport Tire Services (Dunlop Tires) - http://www.sporttire.com Sport Tire Services will have tires available for purchase for those who place there orders in advance of the event. They will have staff available for consultation and tire fitment of Dunlop tires only. Those who are interested in tires should contact Sport tire services @ 800-776-8473 or e-mail dennis@sporttire.com . They will have the correct sizes and compounds for the R1/R6 and the California Speedway track surface. Please contact them at least two (2) weeks in advance. Graves Motorsports - http://www.gravesport.com Graves will have sales staff available for consultation. Graves will have the entire Team Graves Yamaha crew available for consultation with regard to racing, and specifically set-up, bike preperation and riding tips. A commitment on which riders and what type of roll they will play is to be determined. (Primary Sponsor) Fast Track Riders - http://www.fastrackriders.com Fast Track Riders will be organizing the on track event. They are committed to overseeing the technical inspection, registration, corner workers, safety crew and scheduling of on track events. We will be discussing new rider and advanced rider classes. The classes should see some involvement from one or more of the team riders, this is not set as of yet. 4. Is there going to be any hospitality tents from manufactures or dealers that we will be allowed in? Thanks. California speedway limits food and beverages to themselves therefor we won't be bringing in any outside meals or drinks services. Monday is our day to have fun and hangout. The amount of privaleges being brought in Monday is going to be incredible. Setup and tuning by factory mechanics in invaluable... Look forward to seing you there...

Thanks bro, Just 1 more so I can be clear on Mondays ridding. Your answer: We had the $125 beginners fee removed from the fast track sign up form for our event. The download form does reflect it (it's not on it). So does that mean if I am a first time track ridder I still only pay the 249.00 and do not have to add the 125.00 extra fee? Thanks.

Yeah, you will just pay the $249.00 we requested any added first timer fees be waived and it was agreed on... :)

Race Sunday....Trackday Monday.....I'll be there.:) I can't WAIT for this. I won't make it Saturday night, but I hope you all have fun! Faxing in my reg form tomorrow! Hope we get a large So Cal turnout....this is such an awesome opportunity! What tires will be there? Dunlops? Bridgestones? Might need a pair....

Originally posted by firehawk2003 What tires will be there? Dunlops? Bridgestones? Might need a pair.... Never mind....I read your post above, Shane....thanks! By the way....couple of questions; - I saw in the beginning that we couldn't use credit cards. There is a blank on the sign-up form for cards. Can we use them? - I don't see Level 3 on the sign-up sheet. Thanks!

Since fast track is doing the sign ups it's most likely OK to use cc... cards now... :fact Let me know if you have any troubles using it..

I'm too cheap to do the the track day, so I'll just be coming in for the meet and greet. :beer

Originally posted by r1gladiator Hey me to:D So than how much is for that? :dunno Nothing. The last track day at Fontana, you could just drive into the infield and park next to the garages. Come on up, Adrian!

Originally posted by r1gladiator Perhaps you would get more if more info was available :dunno have fun:D We would love to have you at the event and there is a TON of freebies available to members on Monday, we aren't able to pay for anymore or arrange anymore services that aren't posted already... There's a ton of sign ups from the california area also alot of people just don't post but browse... It's $249 to come and race on the track all day with the best R1 mechanics, tuners, suspension gurus and track techs in the world .. AN oppurtunity all because we are forum members here.. It's truly a chance in the lifetime to have a setup like this ( a custom map alone runs $250 or more at most places)... Aside from our event an AMA pass for the weekend is about $50-$60 at most tracks... If you need anymore inside info or need any accomodations to attend please email me or Chuck or call me at the shop...

Though since I bought a Dynojet I would like to visit the Dynojet guys for a map[I really need a map since I cannot even download a free map since I'm running a mac. :dunno

I'll be there with the YAMAMA.. BTW what's the deal with the AMA races. I thought that for like $300 we got the trackday and tickets and shit....:dunno

Cool thanks for the responce :bow 249 $ is more than worth it for all the services you are offering. Are you saying though that this is a race day? My first time to the track I don't want to be racing. :lol Anyhow my bike won't be ready in time to ride the track so I'll have to miss out on this. Next lifetime perhaps :crash

I understand "browse but not post", but that's what this is supposed to be about. Forum guys getting each other pumped up about an awesome experience. After parusing the 3000 or so posts on the East Forum convention, you might expect that the West coast would be a bit more excited. I guess maybe after guys get to know each other a bit at Fontana, there might be a bit more to yap about. You know that many exagerrated stories will come out of this....:fact :lol Just so you guys know, if you go to www.californiaspeedway.com, tickets are available for $30, and pit passes are $20. I'm buying an extra set of each for my friend. Anybody want to make a meet time on Sunday? I'll have to drive my truck because the bike will be in track trim. By the way... 1. VPREATR 2.

I sent out a message reference just attending only on Monday and we'll see what I can drum up this time... On the racing... NO WORRIES to anyone.. There is NO competition on the event... UNLESS YOU count the reported CHALLENGE I am issuing to CHUCK GRAVES :fact calling him out to race Aaron Gobert again... I won't give all the details (since I got a whole article on it) but we were all at the track last week and Chuck and Aaron had a balls out race and it was heated... Chuck's still up there with the best :fact

I tried my hardest to fit in an earlier date so I wouldn't have to be a newbie for this one,but work or family responsibilities always got in the way. Funny how things work out.

Chuck's still up there with the best :fact DDAAAAUUUMMMM! So what's the payoff for the winner? I used to wrench for a close friend that raced Chuck at Willow back in '97, and he was fast as hell back then, too! My friend just started prepping to race again after an 8-year absence, and found out how much speed he's lost. Jason Perez was at the last Fontana Fastrack day, and was SMOKING everyone. This should be good!!!!!!!!!

Hurry up and everyone get there information into fast track.... :fact We need to get everyone settled we spoke about it and in the interest of allowing other bikes to be involved on the track, since alot of forum members have other branded bikes also... That should open things up for everyones friends and non R1 forum members since in the begining only R1 and R6's were invited...

Give me a call at the shop tommorow.... gladiator... 606-432-1556 ask for Shane.... Everyone is welcome to ride on the track or attend, I can't stress that enuff....

wish i could make it . east coast event was incredibly fun last year. i am wondering when r1gladiator is going to say thank you and he can't wait instead of asking over and flippin over the same question, just show up for christ sakes, a spectator fee for a track event isn't jack. Why don't you just post you want a free dyno and don't want to pay for nothing and really don't want to meet other members. just fyi dynojet tuners will service the track riders first and standbye posers last like they do at any events they service

Originally posted by r1gladiator Also I would like to know if there is a special price for those that want to attend but not ride the track. I would like to meet members and get my bike mapped by dynojet. Sorry Shane but you post was confusing, I may of had a few beers but it still makes no sence. Thanks though:)

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Give me a call at the shop tommorow.... gladiator... 606-432-1556 ask for Shane.... Everyone is welcome to ride on the track or attend, I can't stress that enuff.... Nice talking to you Shane. Good info thanks. Hope for a good turnout :beer

Bad news. Fastrackriders just called to inform me the the May 2nd track day was being canceled and refunded my $$. Low turn out was the demise. They told me that only 5 people had registered. :dunno

I am sorry to say that the west coast R1 forum / Graves track day has been canceled. We did not receive enough entries to make this a viable event. Anyone who has pre-entered has been or will be refunded their payment in full. I as well as the vendors are sorry to have to make this announcement. Respectfully Chuck Graves

:fact Yeah... sad news... I was looking forward to riding with the west coast crew :fact Unfortunately the healthy pre-reg. list we had going stagnated when it was time to commit... I spoke to mkinla a while ago and he's trying to organize a caravan out to the east coast event... We damn near sold out an entire resort for it so it will be huge..... :)

Next year give us more time for planning and I am sure the turn out will be better.

Maybe there running up there on that same Monday. If so, I say we all head up there and ride. JMO

look two threads up there is still the east coast convention that chad has put together for the last 2 years goign to be a great time why dont yall come on over 4 people and yall can make it in a day no stop driving

:( That's all I have to say.

im sorry but you are welcome to coem to the east coast convention it is a blast

Originally posted by notstock Bad news. Fastrackriders just called to inform me the the May 2nd track day was being canceled and refunded my $$. Low turn out was the demise. They told me that only 5 people had registered. Five freakin people, huh? Nice. Just want to say thanks to Shane and Chuck for attempting to put something awesome together for us West Coasters. I just find it hard to believe that I was only ONE of FIVE R1 Forum members that was interested in this enough to register. There has to be THOUSANDS of socal guys around. I don't get it. :dunno

Originally posted by southern118 im sorry but you are welcome to coem to the east coast convention it is a blast Bro, I know your convention is going to be a blast, and thanks for the invite. But, I was only going to have to drive 100 miles to ride a TRACKDAY, which is what I like to do. Was just that much sweeter that it was sanctioned by the R1 Forum. I stopped riding the street because of tickets. The Gap isn't a trackday. Is law enforcement not going to be around when you guys are riding? Just sick of the hassle. Nice to be able to twist the throttle, and not worry about 5.0. Anyway, I'm done here. I can't make it to the Gap anyway because I'll be in Iraq. I REALLY was looking forward to one last fling before I go.

thanks fro goign to serve and good luck over there. hope you come back safe :) sorry that yall cant have your convention

I really thought that I had to hurry and register before all the spaces were taken. WTF

I have heard a lot of ..."Yeah mon Oi got the tricked out bike-and Oi got the sick skilz ya...Oi dynoed at like 199hp...and Oim like kikn' it ta like 200 ever' day... on my way ta work... *fade-out* -Oh I could go on venting this frustration...but hey Trackdaycentral has many trackdays soon to a track near you.

OK....so who wants to go to Buttonwillow on May 30th? I'm going....

Wells since this didnt work out :( Iam hitting Willow on april 30 and may 1st .. Anyone else going ?

Originally posted by thecraw-r1 Wells since this didnt work out :( Iam hitting Willow on april 30 and may 1st .. Anyone else going ? Who is running the trackday at Willow on the 1st? Might do that....I'd do Buttonwillow because I've got a free ride, but I dig riding Willow.

Originally posted by firehawk2003 Who is running the trackday at Willow on the 1st? Might do that....I'd do Buttonwillow because I've got a free ride, but I dig riding Willow. It say's on the Willow Site that it's a Vintage Race or something....:dunno I might do the Kieth Code level 2 instead on May 1st on the Streets....:riding

I should have been more specific I was on the waiting list for keith code, level 3 & 4 and I just got in the other day.. Hey Mkinla if you are going to be there let me know..

Originally posted by thecraw-r1 I was on the waiting list for keith code, level 3 & 4 and I just got in the other day.. Guess I'm going to Buttonwillow then.....

Firehawk, if you even go to California speedway drop me a n IM, that is where I usually track at. I dont go to willow that often since california speedway is more convienent and I like the facility better..

I don't get it. :dunno Well I can say I was going to sign up, but they made it hard to pay for the darn thing. I mean a Paypal account or just add something to their shopping cart and it would have worked. Maybe I was just too darn lazy, but if it was easier I would have jumped on board. Maybe others feel the same way? If I can't do it through the web then its just not worth my time personally. I will just stick with the WSMC race weekends for now:hellobye
