Due to overwhelming demand for additional Elite membership availability, we have posted initial details for the 2011 Elite Membership Program on our website (click here). We have taken input from long conversations with current and prospective members and have come up with "The Evolution of Track Time," our best effort at providing everyone with affordable, flexible, rain-guarantee protected, maximum track time.
Next year will include track days at the best tracks on the East Coast, flexible "tiered" membership options, and as you have all come to expect, the absolute most... "Track Time - Period."

Members from 2010 have first opportunity to renew for 2011, and additional spots are LIMITED. When they are gone, they're gone. Don't miss your chance to become an Elite member... and have your say on our schedule for 2011 heard!

The road racing and motorcycle community lost a bright young star this past weekend when 13 year old up-and-coming USGPRU star Peter Lenz passed away from injuries sustained during the USGPRU MotoGP support race. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lenz family. A memorial fund has been established in his honor, you can learn more by clicking on the image below. Rest in Peace Peter.

Just in time for the second half of the season, the ever popular tire and track day specials are coming back! Pair a fresh set of rubber with the last Boston Moto track day of the year and save on tires to get you through the rest of the season. Tires may be picked up prior to the track day if you're in need of rubber now (mounting and balancing at NHMS on 9/29 is free of charge). Click the image below to reserve your set now, quantities are limited.
This special will not last long, it will close on September 15th.

This weekend marks the first time in [my] memory that will see motorcycles take to the track at NHMS on a weekend in a fun, track day environment. Spots are nearly full and the entire weekend is shaping up to be something no one in attendance will soon forget. Rob's Dyno will be on-site for all your tuning needs, and Doug Polen's 1-on-1 School will be shaving seconds off students' personal best laptimes. I'd been waiting all year to ride with Doug, only to see this opportunity pass me by. So there's at least one more spot available, and last I heard there were a few on each day.
If you are looking to lower your laptimes at Loudon, there is no better way we could think of than the Polen 1-on-1 School... regardless of your current level of riding.
There are only 6 spots available today so head to gopolen.com and register now!
See you all on Friday night for one helluva couple of days at the track!

Registrations have been coming in a few per day steadily, a quick look in the shop showed there are only a handful of spots available per group. This event will be completely booked very soon, don't miss out!!!
Also to add to the excitement.. Rob's Dyno Service (robsdyno.com) will be in the pits at NHMS August 14th and 15th for Boston Moto's weekend track days. For those looking for a dyno tune, Rob has offered a $25 discount on mapping services ($175 - Simple Map / PCIII, $275 - Advanced Map / Bazzaz, Ducati) during the event. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged! If there's enough interest a dyno-shootout is also in the works, RSVP or register for your map by emailing rob@robsdyno.com!

We were exctatic to bring 13 riders to the track for the first time during the July 13-14th track days at NHMS. Here's some feedback from what these first time track riders experienced. Looking forward to seeing you guys in August at the weekend track days!
"If I could only use one word to describe my first track day experience it would have to be incredible. I attended the Intro to Track Riding program for July 13th and then rode all day on the 14th. Let me tell you, anyone considering doing a track day but you're nervous about "sorting it all out," the ITR program is made just for you!" - Ajay
"I've told you before, in my opinion Boston Moto runs the best track day of any organization that I have been to and that's exactly what I tell my friends. More track time than anywhere else." - Fred Stearns LRRS Expert #333

I came across an article on motorcycle suspension setup online and found it intersting as another means of explaining how your suspension works and thought our readers might be interested. Written by Sean Onipede of GoStar Racing, it is well written and very informative; a nice update to our blog article on The Importance of Setting Sag.

Congratulations to Scotty Greenwood who rode to an impressive win in the 87th Loudon Classic on Sunday. You certainly have earned it Scott!
TeamConti was well-represented throughout the weekend, securing numerous top four finishes to lay claim to the Continental contingency payouts that are up for grabs in every race, every class, regardless of grid size.
Top earner again - Ryan Nolin #178 took three more top four finishes (including another win!) and was able to run successive races on a soft-compound rear tire without tearing suffered in earlier rounds, a result of getting his rear shock dialed in by Peter Kates of GMD Computrack.
Jason Markham #336 took home an hard fought 5th place in Supertwins, missing out on the 4th spot after stretching his ContiRaceAttack Slick rear tire through three weekends of racing (taking two wins in the process) and a full day of testing... all aboard his hulking RC-51 superbike. While this demonstrates the longevity offered by Continental tires that's creating a buzz through the paddock, Jason admitted after the race his strategy should have included a new rear tire in between morning practices. He conceded "One of the things I like most about the ContiRaceAttack tires are their smooth and linear feedback. Even once the tire went off and the bike started to move around, I was able to comfortably finish off the race. I just wish I had a fresh tire on so I could have pushed even harder."
We'd like to congratulate ALL racers who took part in the 87th Annual Loudon Classic, and we're looking forward to Round 5 of the Loudon Road Racing Series. Especially July 13-14th where we'll be at the track Tuesday and Wednesday, offering FREE test and tune on ContiRaceAttacks for those who are curious how the Contis stack up.

..and if you're still curious what it's all about, here's a review of our intro to track riding program!
I'm now officially positive that a BOMO trackday is about the most fun you can have with your pants on. I can't say I was dragging a knee like [Rich] was... but i ditched my chicken strips which was my goal for my first day out there.
I did the intro-to-track-day experience. They come right over and inspect your bike, Mike noticed my chain was too tight and adjusted the rear wheel for me, lunch was provided, video tape one of your rides, all that good stuff. Spent most of the day with DucDave [Dave Michaud] who was great. He kept going a little faster and a little faster seeing if I could keep up before pushing it a little harder... or would slow down to point out a better line to take. I never felt rushed or intimidated out there... although when the fast guys blow by you on the straightaway when you're not expecting it, that takes a little getting used to! All the instructors were quick to answer a question or offer advice. In general everyone there whether they were an instructor or a fellow rider made for a fun atmosphere in the garage.
So thanks to Dave, Mike, and Ox for getting me hooked. I'll be back in July.
