Has anyone done the free lunch time ride at VIR? The one were you don't have to full gear and it's basically just simply follow the instructor at a very simple easy pace. Just to get a feel for the track/racing. I basically want to know if I have to sign up anywhere or just show up on a track day? I'm interested in racing but would like to try it before buying the gear.

Depends on the organization. a friend did it 2 years ago with TPM and all you have to do is register in the morning at the track. I do not know if this is still the case. With TPM, it is called "try the track".
Nesba has a similar offer, but I do not know if you have can register the same day. http://www.nesba.com/Info/Intro.htm
and i do not know if cornerspeed or stt offers a similar program.

I can ask a friend for you if you would like... it would be a used unit... have not heard of a place that rebuilds them. Other than that... I would say, check ebay.
On another note. Just finished painting the last bike tonight!!!!
Took a week to paint 3 R6's... what a nightmare... first the paint was too thin and could see through it... then it wrinkled when shooting a second coat. So I had to spend 2 days stripping the paint from one of the bikes, I cant tell you how much fun that was... but they are done now.
So... I will now be putting together 3 jet black R6's. I am hoping my garage paintjobs turn out nice! LOL

I'm a new rider this year, but I've found that most people I through a wave at have waved backed.
And yes this rain on the warm days is a killer! I can't wait for the steady warm weather to roll in.

Yeah, thanks, I've done that, I was told the 00-08 gsxr stators are all the same, but the 06-07 is about $100 more than older models, so I don't know that that's true, can anyone verify or negate that for sure?
