There still some spots available for the track day trip to Jennings next December 28th & 29th !

In revenge, I want to suggest to all bike fans to
TRAVEL to JENNINGS in FLORIDA
during Christmas Holidays
http://www.jenningsgp.com/thetrack.htm

DATE … We choose next December 28th & 29th allowing everbody to be with their family during Christmas and New Year Day. 

COST … 350$ US for those 2 days.  There’s a tire service and Michelin representant on site along with an ambulance and marshals. 

MODALITIES … as usual … total payment with credit card or cash (with credit card in garanty) before leaving for the track.  If I already have your credit card number in your TF file, it will simplify the procedure.

REGISTRATION DATE … I need to get your registration the latest October 31st.  I’ll wait for the minimum number of participants requested (20 riders) to confirm the trip and to proceed with the payment.

TRANSPORTATION for bikes … if you prefer to have your bike carried in Jennings, I suggest to use my 16 foot trailer.  We’re talking of a 400$ (back & forth) per bike.  I need to a enough interested participant for such transportation to justify the use of my trailer.

SHARING FEES … for those interested, I can accommodate 4 participants in my truck.  We’ll share the gaz expenses.  For those looking for such « partners », let me know and I’ll link you with other participants.

INSURANCE … I’ll check with my insurance company in order to verify if such an event outside my regular calendar is covered.  If not, I’ll give you the contact of a brooker that covers such « extreme » sports so you can get your own insurance.

THE TRIP … Along with confirming the trip, I’ll provide you with a detailed map of the road to get at the track in Florida.  For those interested, I suggest that we regroup before leaving and that we travel as a « caravan ».  It will be a « non stop » trip.

TO REGISTER … an e-mail to http://www.nouvelles@trackfever.ca to confirm your registration along with the kind of payment you want (credit card or $$$).  I would also appreciate if you could mention if you want your bike to be carried over there. 

We will take the opportunity to give the trophees to the TRACKFEVER Racing 2011 Series Champions.

We’ll also have great price to draw all along the evening !

Hoping to see you then !!!

Pénélope McQuade’s team will be at TRACKFEVER next Saturday August 27th to register a program at the track.  This new series called “ICI et MAINTENANT” will be broadcast at Radio-Canada starting next January 2012.

Visitors fee is 15$ per person and free for kids under 12 years old.

The show will be exciting !!!

Few curve numbers changed.  What we know as curve number 1 and number 2 are now called number 3 and 4.  Whatever there names, those 2 curves have been changed considerably.

1. The start/finish line is longer than before

2. Curve 1 (now no. 3) is more “closing" than before.  The zone off track at this height is more important than before.

3. Curve 2 (now no. 4) is a lot less an airpine than before.

All the other modifications to the layout will be made beginning of May as soon as nice weather starts.  Everything should be ready by May 21 / May 22 for the TFR 1st round of the season.

See you on the first lane !!!
