Coldest Track Day?

I rode a trackday at grattan when it was about 30 in the am.. think it got to about 40 that day. This was about 5 years back. I can't remember if it was stt or not

 

It was 27 degrees in the morning at Tally in December.

 

Anything below 70 degrees is freezing down south!

 

I have been in Sleet at Roebling in February then the Ogre and myself navigated his 5th wheel on Ice for 6 Hours... Boy that was fun....

 

I did Team Chicago at Grattan last year in April and it was around 30 degrees. It even snowed for a bit. But it was still a good day. Was almost 40 in the afternoon.

 

We had Flurries at Putnam one April back in the day as well.... No Grip at all... The Bus Stop was called the Ice Rink that weekend...

 

As much as I LOVE track riding. I personally won't ride in the cold (<60 for me). Rain, I don't mind too much but cold just won't do. Tires, track temp, my body temp just aren't up to it

 

I've ridden in the snow flurries, flash floods, ridiculous heat, hail, wind. It's really up to the event director. They make decisions on site based on the conditions and the safety concerns. Cold is not likely a safety concern. I've seen a few track days over the years get cancelled a day or two before the event because of snow on the ground.

 

I have once been at BMP when it was 107* out. LOL

 

I have also crashed in the paddock when it was cold out so I try to avoid the track if it is below 50*

 

We've been spoiled the last couple of April Grattan days. I hope the trend continues!

 

I absolutely HATE cold weather. Motorcycling is supposed to be fun....and when I'm cold, it ain't fun!

 

I don't mind the cold weather when doing other sports like snow boarding, skiing etc.. Love the snow! Now that I'm in GA it's chilly but no snow

 

my first day was at putnam when it was 102 with 98% humidity.....i might be ok trying a cold day

 

I can remember sitting under our trailer awning at Barber about 4 or 5 years ago, and trying to get cooled off after one of our afternoon sessions. The thermometer/clock handing on the side of our trailer (in the shade) was registering 109 degrees. As odd as it may sound, I can deal with that better than I can with the cold temps on the track. Of course, neither extremes are fun/good/enjoyable, but I do the heat better than I do the cold.

 

past october at ncm was 33* first session and didnt get over 55* that day, still alot of grip but it was chilly

 

August 2010. I will never forget it....I don't know how the coaches handled it.

 

You guys should have been at Road Atlanta in August 5 Years ago..... 118 in the shade if I remember correct.... And I was on Tire Duty... The 20 Min drive home for me Sunday was the longest drive home for any track I have been too in my life....I know Big Steve from Canada was there...He can vouch... Heat Exhaustion Central... White spots and all...

 

LOLOL Understatement of the year right there. I remember a Road America event where I think you were the only one out riding in a downright blizzard. I was just sitting on the pit wall watching you go by lap after lap after lap saying to myself, that boy just ain't right.
