Default "Green Hell" on July 19th or 20th
Anyone interested in meeting me up at the "Green Hell" Monday or Tuesday? It will be my first time on the Nordschliefe, so I'm just looking to say "I did it".
I'm not sure yet which day I'll be there.

I'll have the family with me so we'll probably try to fit in a visit to the new RingWerks center too.

Just got back. The family and I had a good time. The wifey was able to snap a few shots of me ontrack. I even smuggled in an onboard video camera... unfortunately for me, in all my excitement leading up to today, I forgot to replace the old batteries.


Oh well, the video would have been nothing short of embarrassing.

I opted for a sticker instead of a t-shirt, but either way I can say I've done it and got the souvenir.

I am most definitely not interested in trying to "learn" the track or go faster, but might go back if a group is up that way just to hang out and do a lap or two.

I did see a ton of S1000RRs out there. The wife snapped a few pics of them as well.

Will you be doing the TouristenFahrten? Or is it a trackday rental?

Just post something up or shoot me a PM before you go and we'll coordinate a time to meet up.

I'm sure if I went out there, it wouldn't take much to talk me into trying a few more laps.
