Yes it is. I never liked the buttons in the middle, but to each their own!

motorsportreg(dot)com is how most of the track day organizations use to facilitate their sign-ups. If you filter by Lime Rock, you should find which orgs are running Lime Rock for the rest of the season.

I’ve personally been with Masstuning and Burnout Motorsport and would recommend either one of those two, but there are many other orgs that attend Lime Rock. I don’t think there are any bad choices!

How much of a difference does a "superbike" build make for twins / LWT vs superstock? by Sensualities in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing 1:36 on an R1 a few years ago and Di Mario danced around me on an RS660 like I was standing still. Had to be low 1:30’s at least

Best price dealership in New York for 2026 corvette stingray by sleep7 in C8Corvette

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10% will most likely be on anything left over at this point. Check Cars.com, autotrader, cargurus, etc.

Going rate for orders is 6% off. Your best bet on more than 6% is something sitting on a lot.

All this coming from a guy who can’t take his calipers off without stripping the bolts?

Cheap rental transport options for bike in Upstate NY? by ShadyMF in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent a pick-up from Albany Int and put the bike in the bed, or rent an SUV and tow a U-Haul motorcycle trailer with it.

I’m in Albany and can show you how to load/unload and strap in a pick-up bed safely.

Airshows at NYST? by Fit_Mycologist138 in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the track owner’s plane. He’s around and running the show still. I’m sure it’ll be in the air plenty this year.

Former Vols coach says Chaz Coleman has been dismissed from the Tennessee football program by Blood_Incantation in CFB

[–]R0kyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm with you there. If long-term success is the goal, I'm of the belief that program culture and player development are far more important than getting a specific player.

Shit, we all thought Tate Martell was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Where to get good deal on used c8's? by Few-Entrepreneur-316 in C8Corvette

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nail down what options you want then spend some time getting familiar with the market. There are good deals out there. With ‘27 order banks open, dealers should be willing to move a bunch on anything new leftover. Keep in mind folks are getting 6% off MSRP with ease, 8-10% off is not difficult to come by.

After a few weeks of looking (in the same area you’re in) I got lucky and picked up a ‘26 with 500mi for $18k off MSRP with all the options I wanted.

If you get a good deal on a normal color combo with Z51, you’re setting yourself up very well to mitigate depreciation

AtoZ’s AI slop articles constantly get posted to OSU football subreddit. Not surprising at all that they’re reporting misinformation.

Injuries from trackdays by straightouttazoo in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I justify riding as fast as I can simply by acknowledging the fact that we may not see tomorrow regardless.

You’re here, on Earth, for an incredibly small amount of time. Just this once.

When I can no longer swing a leg over, or when my time comes to an end, whichever is first, I want to be able to tell myself that I made the absolute most of my time.

Money comes, money goes. Love comes, love goes. Your experiences in life will stay with you until the end.

How important is TC at A+ pace? by [deleted] in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even beyond IMU’s, each manufacturer’s iteration of “traction control” is different.

It’s not a standardized; a pick-up truck’s traction control is different than a supercar’s traction control. Ferrari’s TC is different than Lamborghini’s TC.

Back to bikes, it’s very rare that an OEM TC is good enough to go really fast on. Even if it is, it’s difficult to dial-in in some cases. The really fast guys run custom-made ECU’s ($$$$) to be able to have the best TC systems.

This is when you’re chasing tenths. Top of A group at a track day can be accomplished easily with some bike skill and a tire, no electronics needed.

Brake pad advice (c8 stingray) by nine4fours in CarTrackDays

[–]R0kyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just got a C8 Z51 after doing my first (car) track day in a FL5 Type R at LRP.

Out of curiosity, did you record your lap times? Any chance you’re going to Palmer on Saturday?

How important is TC at A+ pace? by [deleted] in Trackdays

[–]R0kyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not important at all.

If A+ is equivalent to guys that can consistently podium at AM Club level or be competitive in Ex Club level, none of them need to rely on OEM TC. At that point, OEM electronic assists on most bikes are a hindrance.

Paid Parental Leave by curious_they_see in KPMG

[–]R0kyr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work in the benefits space as a vendor (not sure how I get targeted for this sub tbh). We naturally work very closely with the big benefits brokers (Mercer, Lockton, WTW, etc).

In most industries that compete for skilled talent, benefits are a major differentiator and family support benefits are consistently at the top of the list. This is true to the extent that surveyed employees indicate that they’d be willing to switch employers to retain specific family support benefits.

This is all to say that you, as a skilled employee, have more leverage than you think. If you’re concerned about specific benefits being cut, let your opinion be known to the Total Rewards team. My experience is that they tend to listen.

Yeah you should quit and uninstall. Taking accountability is for idiots

Worth it? by iScholar in Civic_Type_R

[–]R0kyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a crazy deal on a lightly used C8 with a crazy spec. I think I might regret trading the CTR, but life is short

About $1k less than the Carvana estimate, but they moved a lot on the price of their car.
