For all of you Kneeriders that have ridden and liked Thunderhill, it's now time to try a new track!

We're going to be at Spring Mountain in Pahrump Nevada next weekend, June 11-12. I know it's a long drive, but I've got to tell you it's one sweet track! Some nice long sweepers and some tight twisties.
:D
Here's the website to sign up at:

http://calsportbike.com/trackdays/

It's only $135 for a day or $250 for the weekend. How can you pass that up? :confused:

It's definately Kneerider country! (Besides, it is Nevada and there are casinos in town if you like to lay some money down.)

I hope to see you all there1

Sounds like a good time but won't it hot as hell out there right now? I think it gets in to the mid 90's out there during this time of year...

Sheesh, for this kind of a track, and such a deal - I think we'll have more than a few attendees!

I'm IN!!! :D

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat! :rolleyes:

We'll have plenty of water and Gator Aid to drink and an Easy-Up village to provide some shade. There's usually a nice breeze blowing so it's not too bad really. Shoot, I've been at Thunderhill when it's been over 100 and as long as you keep hydrated it's not that bad. ;)

(It's also just a hop skip and a jump from Area 51, so you never know what or who you might have a "close encounter" with!)

Glad to see that you're going ot be there RB! :D

Spring Mountain is such a fun track, it is worth the long drive and a little heat!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the track been extended from 2.2 miles to about 4 miles now?

If not, does anyone know when the new section will be open?

The new addition to the track is not complete yet.. :(

This track is a blast... It is by far, my favorite track I have been on yet... As said, it has it all from the fast sweeper to the tighter almost bus stop turns... The track flows REALLY well, and you find yourself wanting more at the end of the day..:)

I hope to see some of the kneeriders out there... You will love the track. :)

You will have a blast... it really does give you time to work on skill... The turns are soooooo nice... Not much for bumps, so you can really rail on them.. :)

I cant wait to see everyone at Spring Mountain!! :)

We'll probably pick at spot to meet and have all the Kneeriders together on either Friday or Saturday night. Anyone up foor Mexican food? :p I'm sure that Todd will let us know when and where.

(There is a pool at the hotel!)

Showing off with the hand drag again a-Hollywood! ;)

By-the-way Kneeriders, you don't want to test your dirtbioking with an off track excursion out there. :eek: But the track is very wide and smooth.

Are you going to be at our inaugural Cal-Sportbike Trackday event with your lovely lady? :)

No...I cannot make it to Spring Mountain because I am a loooooser. Actually it's because work has a way of interfering with riding sometimes....they are sooo inconsiderate :mad:
