Nelson Ledges on July 1

If weather permits, Latesleeper and I are planning to attend Nelson's "Funday" this Friday. The cost is $120 to run or $5 to watch. Anyone else like to join?

p.s. Dave, thanks for the ride last time.

Unfortunately I don't believe passengers are allowed....unless during "Parade" lap where the speed limit is 30mph.

I've taken guys on 'instructional' laps there before - both riding and driving. One of these days I'll make it back up there...

Unofficially, joy rides for passengers are allowed the first hour of the day.

This is mostly meant to let experienced pilots teaching newcomers. But it is a "relaxed" atmosphere. Helmets mandatory even though.

There was a time where the restriction was lifted, but there were guys renting cars and bringing along the entire 5 person family in the Taurus... Not cool.

BTW, It's July 1st and 2nd. Either day for Fun.

Let's see what the weather is like. Maybe.

Deetz.

Did Pete Smakula take your avatar pic? Last year? If so, I was there that day also.

Hopefully Greg and Deetz can attend the event. As I have no experience on a racetrack, I can certainly learn much from you guys.

Not a chance this weekend. In fact the in-laws are visiting this weekend from Akron of all places... I really want to get back up there though. I went twice last year, and I used to race motorcyles there back in the mid 90's. As crappy as it is, that place is kind of special to me.
