SpookyTooth Death Race 2009

[Easy Rider]

Hey Spunout, Do you plan on using the whole track? After looking at the map, it said the longest straight is only 680 ft? Would it be possible to draw which direction and pattern we'll be using. I want to work on the gearing before race day. I have a 13 hour road trip and the last thing I want to do is wrench on the bike at the track. Thanks.

my e-mail from spooky said to bring elbow and knee pads along with your helmet

I'm not racing, just gonna do laps and check out the other rides

 

[Easy Rider]

I'm bringing my full gear plus my kart suit...just in case I decide to slide across the pavement.
I can't imagine driving for 13 hours all road rashed up.

BTW The blurb says Saturday April 19th however the 19th is a Sunday. Is the event on Saturday the 18th or Sunday the 19th?

 

[azbill]

It's Saturday the 18th according to Spunout.

uhhhh.....hm. in my few discussions with spooky, i was told it would be sunday the 19th. not until i went to their site, did i see it says saturday the 18th.

 

[Easy Rider]

I just checked out the Spooky Tooth site and it does say April 18th Saturday. We plan on bringing some goodies to sell like manifolds, pipes and reed cages.

 

[Dave31]

It did say Saturday April 19th, But it was changed to the 18th, I guess it was a typo.

I may be able to host an out-of-towner for the weekend of the death race. I have to clear the spare room, (has a very soft twin bed) and another room also currently full of junk.
First day, last day, deposit and background check required... kiddink.

Does anyone know how far is Phoenix or Chandler is from Tuscon?

 

[Dave31]

A little over 100miles for both like, 107 from Phoenix and 110 from Chandler.

The Fair grounds are just on the outskirts of Tucson so from downtown Tucson it's about another 20 miles.

 

[azbill]

yeah, it's a coupla hour drive
'bout the same to FH
always seems faster getting there than coming back tho

Thanks FR31, Looks like Dean and I will be staying at the Super 8!

Thanks FR31, Looks like Dean and I will be staying at the Super 8!

Cool, look for 22nd street...it turns into star pass right passed super 8. It's on the West side of I-10 and super 8 is on the South side of 22nd about half a block West of I-10.

You will have a excellent view of A mountain which I have gone up and down a million times.

Oh, and I-10 right through Tucson is under construction so it's kinda of a mess, all I can say is good luck lol.

I just found out I am having family from Mexico that weekend, oh well, they will just have to visit without me here lol.

 

[Weedylot]

There are a few motels at I-10 and Palo Verde Rd. area nearer to the race venue by about 5 or 6 miles.
