I got a pair of gloves you can borrow. Teknic Violators, size M if I remember correctly, but I was between large and small. They are slightly torn, but not in an impact area, actually torn just at the very end, but your leather jacket covers that part anyways.

I assume they are brand new ! Mine are old & the sweat seems to break down the leather in the palms. As long as they fit (which they should), I'll buy em.
I'll be there Saturday & Sunday - and I'll bring my EZ-up

I signed up for Sat/Sun. I'll be bringing my new/used track bike to try to work out the bugs and see if it actually is trackworthy.
Not sure if I'll be camping out or not. I've never been to Autobahn. Any info on the camping would be appreciated.

Yes, I'll be bringing the R1. I plan to take it real easy. Since this is my first time out, I figured the best idea is to just get familiar with things before any attempt at riding aggressively.

Then the adrenaline hit took over the speed freak in me, and all bets were off.

Seriously though...Be careful, and try to ride your own ride. Don't think you "have to" keep up with anyone. Leave your ego at home, and just enjoy being on the track. Also...after the first session or two, when you get familiar with the track, ask one of the Control Riders to follow you around and give you some pointers. Just make sure to stop after the session so they can talk to you. The CR's are great people and very knowledgable.
Good Luck

Some very good advice. And I will listen to all advice I can get. Thank you. It's nice to hear from others who are familiar to the whole track experience and can share their experiences.
thank you.

I'll be on my cheap gixxer hoping it doesn't let me down. I've got 2 weeks to try and find anything that's wrong.
Your bike is dam nice...wish I could have swung the deal

Look for the 2002 Silverado (silver) with all the dive stickers on it. That's me.

Most of the pit is blacktop. Along the road has some gravel area. I pit where I can from there.
