I agree with Dan: ride as long as you can on street tires before making the switch. Once you go to race rubber, it is damn near impossible to switch back.
and a lot more expensive, I still do just fine with pilot powers and am in intermediate.

Got the Q2's friday, and having them mounted tomorrow.

I'll be ready!!!

What's the plan Dan? Coming MY way so I can hitch? Got room? Or do I need to come to YOU?

I just checked the map and it said TROY NEEDS TO COME TO RALEIGH!!

I'd love to drive out there and pick you up, but I'd have to take a full day off work Tuesday to make that happen. I'd offer to come pick you up the weekend before, but I'll be at Road Atlanta until late 4/24.

I didn't realize it was at the friggin TIP of WVa

Man...5+ hours?!?!

Then another 1.5 hours home from your place...my ass is gonna be BEAT

Sounds like a plan. When it gets closer I'll hit you up in a PM for final details.

I keep the trailer pre-packed with 2 EZ-ups, chairs, 1500W generator, Extention cord, air compressor, stands, fuel can, so THAT I'll have with me regardless.

What all besides that, will I need?

Tent? Sleeping bag? cooler? Coffee maker? Table?

Yep, you can throw a stone into VA or MD from the track.

The EZ-ups, air compressor, stands for your bike, sleeping bag, and coffee maker should be all you need. We'll roll the bikes out when we get there and sleep in the trailer. There's electricity there, so no worries about a generator on this trip, and the trailer has a stocked refrigerator in it so we're set for cold drinks. I also have 4 big fuel cans and an assortment of chairs (in addition to the fold-down couch) I store in the trailer, so we've got those covered.
