If any of you are thinking about stepping up from trackdays to actual club racing, as I did last year, you might want to check out an article I wrote about the experience for the new MCADX (Motorcycle Addicts) E-zine:

I read that from another forum and I felt the same way as if I was there on the starting line.

You should also read his interview with the creator of Durrani Wheels.

I have read this twice now and am wanting the 25th to get here quickly! I sent the link to a couple of friends who are teetering on the idea of racing. I hope it will tip them the right direction.....racing of course.

Thanks, T1! The feeling is definitely mutual. I'm looking forward to another great season with you and the gang.

Awesome Write Up, I too sometimes think about going beyond Track Day riding but have second thoughts about the additional risk and cost. and I am 46.
