Greetings I was just wondering after this weekend Motogp excitement and making headlines of how poor the track conditions are on COTA. Has anyone heard of a possible 2022 event? A mean COTA is already selling presale tickets but that doesn’t mean anything. Hope you all had great weekend and for all those that attended the race. Cynthia Sent from my iPhone

COTA is on the schedule for April of 2022. -Bob On Mon, Oct 4, 2021, 20:09 CRP CRP <cynthia.melendez1@gmail.com> wrote: > Greetings > > I was just wondering after this weekend Motogp excitement and making > headlines of how poor the track conditions are on COTA. > Has anyone heard of a possible 2022 event?

Hi Bob Yes I’m aware COTA is on schedule however, the riders made it clear to COTA this past weekend. If COTA don’t fix the track, they won’t come next year.

Oh, ok. We were at COTA this weekend and the talk was, yes, the riders complained but not all agreed to boycott. It was explained to us that it's the soil causing the issues. It doesn't really compact well and expands when it gets wet. Then contracts when it dries out. It rained a lot in the weeks prior to COTA this year. Don't know what will happen in 2022. -Bob On Mon, Oct 4, 2021, 20:39 CRP CRP <cynthia.melendez1@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Bob > > Yes I’m aware COTA is on schedule however, the riders made it clear to > COTA this past weekend.

During the broadcast on Motogp.com, I heard them say that if the track wasn’t fixed they wouldn’t be back. So for them to have it ready for April, they have to get going on the resurfacing in the not too distant future I would think. Fingers crossed. Gregg

Definitely some bumps, coming down the hill from turn 1 into 2 there were several that went down after hitting that bump not sure about other sections of the track. There is another bump on the straight after turn 2 but it did not seem to be a problem, but then I'm just some old dude that did track days, so on a GP machine it also might be a problem. - Gene "I know a Few Roads" Charter Life Member American Motorcycle Association Charter Member Victory Motorcycle Club Member ducati.net Ex MSF Instructor Patriot Guard Rider 01' Victory Sport Cruiser 04' Victory Kingpin 16' Victory Cross Country Tour 02' Ducati Monster 900 13' Ducati Diavel 09' XR1200 - Gone but not forgotten ________________________________ From: gregg kirby <gkpghpa@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, October 4, 2021 9:55 PM To: Ducati Owners Group <ducati@list.ducati.net> Subject: [Ducati] Re: Motogp 2022?

Hi Gregg I wonder what F1 will say about the track? I really hope COTA fixes the track and we can have MotoGP 2022.

I'm doing a track day at COTA in November. All this talk about a bumpy, dangerous track was scaring me until I realized I will be going about 1/3rd of the Moto3 pace. And that's me full blast! hahahaha... I think I'll be ok. I'm still a little nervous as I haven't been on a track since 2001 and that was at Blackhawk Farms, not exactly a high speed circuit. I'll report my impressions here after my track day. BTW, I'll be doing it on my beloved 1996 900SS/CR.

Mario, that generation of Ducati is an excellent track day tool. Light and not something that will over power you but enough to have fun. One thing to watch out for is the exhaust collector under the motor. Where the piped exit to the side and then head to the rear of the bike can be a clearance issue. If you hit it hard enough you can lift the rear wheel off the ground. Ask me how I know. 😱🏍 Fortunately after much excitement I did not go down but I got those pipes shortened right after that and added a shock from the next series SS which is about a half inch longer. You can see how little clearance there is in this photo.
