This weekend there was three of us from SMRI that went over for TI2TT Control Rider Orientation, at a new track in AZ. Inde Motorsports Ranch, it’s in Wilcox AZ, southeast of Tucson. (www.ti2tt.com)
The track is brand new, but the facilities are complete and it is first class all the way. The set up is impressive and classy, it was set up more like a hotel then a race track. The only down side to the day was the mud. The road heading to the track is currently dirt, they have started to work on it to get it paved (it is going to be paved in two weeks) but on Sat, it started to rain before they could compact down all the dirt they had just hauled in to level it. That soft dirt turn into soup, and that soup ended up all over our bikes.
But, the guys at the track were awesome. They broke out a presure washer and went to work on getting the mud off our vehicles and bikes. They did it so that we wouldnt get all soak. Now, that isn’t something that I think any other track would ever do for you!!!
Once the bikes were all squared a way, we went down to the tower for the talking part of the Orientation, a tour of the facility and then the track manager walked us all though the track on the huge map they have in the downstairs room of the tower. Once we finished, the track fed us all lunch. Then it was off to learn the track, with it being 2.75 miles and having 25 turns, it took a few laps.
Once we spent some time out there I went ahead and put the camera on the back of the bike.
