Blackhawk Farms

[R6Chris760]

It's great to have a guy like SuperDave putting money towards making BHF a better and safer place to race!!!!!!!!!

Cool. Now how exactly do air fences reinflate themselves? built in blowers? Just curious.

Three independant days.....   ???

I thought you had all six - or shouldn't I even go there?

Dawn  :-/

LOL!   ;D  Let me take you on the emotional roller coaster ride...

In early November, I called Blackhawk to schedule my dates with Blackhawk Farms.  I called then because the schedule is basically set after the Midwest Council SCCA decides their schedule.  So, I'm done.  The Monday before Thanksgiving, everything comes apart.  I am informed that CCS has "taken" the dates.  So, I was screwed.  Back and forth. blah, blah, blah...Kevin Elliott concedes three dates for me, he'll have three of his Sport Rider Dates on Monday.  I don't like the dates, they were useless, so we switched them.  But he had made me an offer to do my program during his Sport Rider Days.  By early December, we had talked, and I decided to do it.  I would have six dates with the CCS/SRD before every Blackhawk.  Change the brochures again, and again, then Blackhawk calls me on January 20th wanting to talk to me about the contracts they are sending me.  They have me down for some Monday's too!  Calls, calls, calls, throw away more brochures.  CCE wouldn't let Kevin make the third change to his dates...  So, I am still waiting for a call back from Blackhawk, and the contracts, I will have three of my own dates.  

Are you confused?  I am too.  Too much work for the financial losses that I put up with...  But I love motorcycle racing, so let's go to work, eh? ;D

Dave,

You've got my support.  You're definitely the most visible and most knowledgable person at the track that is willing to assist racers reach their goals.  I look forward to both of my classes with you.

Dave,
So, if I take your school in August, there will be others on track at the same time, or just less on track time, but alone?

Your mileage may vary...  terms and conditions apply...

LOL!  Good questions.  August should be my date with CCS during the sport rider day.  So, My three groups will be intermingling with the three sport rider groups.  I will have something that we will use to identify our children, and they can further identify the instructors.

You'll have to pay a gate fee for the CCS date.

I imagine that there might be a similar amount of track time.  You get tons of time as it is.  It's making the most of the time is the trick.  

When I have my program, we usually have a special session devoted completely to starts.  You can go and do like 20 of them.  I usually run the boards and give color commentary(LOL!).  I have complete flexiblity, and I should have a sponsor for lunch.

How will it differ?  The costs are not that far apart, so I suspect that they will all be good.  There are certain numbers that Kevin Elliott and I came up with for reasonable density  between us.  So, I don't think there will be a huge issue with too many riders on the track.  And if I fill up the program on Thursday for CCS, well, they would be happy with that too...

Dave, you don't have enough threads going on this thing? This was about the track safety improvements, not your dealing with the track....... ::)

Sorry Gordy, I kinda started down that path.   :-/

Sometimes these treads seem to take on a different path all their own.

[Super Dave]

Yes, yes...

Safety, safety...

Then a tangent...

[chris_chops]

C'mon now!  I must have that chunk of wood!  I am willing to risk all to get that piece of wood and prove what a man I am...   ::)

Who is this? You is funny!
