    I definitely tried to sign up for advanced but the online registration wouldnt let me.

    I personally would feel better about being in the advanced group without a doubt.

    Hopefully crystal calls me back tomorrow during business hours .

    So how is Grattan as a track? Have heard it can be a pretty tough track especially in the morning.

    Most tracks are slippery when they're cold, northern tracks are usually cold in the morning, ride accordingly.
    Other than that it's one of my favorite tracks, and I've ridden about 25.

    +1. It all started for me at Grattan back in '93. It's technical. The jump you either need to brake before or after you go over, depends on your speed...the bowl is always fun, elevation changes, blind entry onto the front straight going CW ( i always liked CCW better) off camber back section, etc....

    Hope the weather changes before departure.....

    Sounds like a fun track and as usual all the good riding is after lunch. Looking forward to my first Grattan trip

    I spoke with Crystal today and I'm good to go.

    Hope the weather cooperates.
