Well I finnally did it, I went to the track and got to experiance first hand what it is like to go balls to the wall on a track. Now that I've done it I'm addicted and have begun to sign up for a flury of track days.

My first day was at Thunder Hill with trackxperience on 9/25/06 and that was a great way to start out. The way thier program works is its pretty much an open track all day long instead of having specific groups go out, they let everyone go out at once and just have fun. This allowed me A LOT of track time exposure thus allowing me to gain my confidence quickly. And I did not follow the advice of many and decided to RIDE up and back on my bike. The two hour drive at 4am was FARKING COLD.

Then I drove up on my bike again to Thunderhill on 9/27/06 with Pacific Track Time. This time I got to truly see a A, B, C group format and was signed up with the C group. I actually managed to run into a couple members on here, I'll let them chime in on their own. They also can vouch for me for those that don't believe I rode up and WAS FREEZING.

And for my final insane drive to Laguna Sec on my bike on 9/28/06 with Red Shift. This was more of a Class oriented C group type of thing which was actually nice because I got to learn the track and improve on some things I was lacking. The one SHATTY part about this though was that in the morning the track was coverd in fog which meant that the first sesion was under a standing yellow the entire time. This track was insanely fun and seemed to be much more difficult than Thunder hill IMO.

Note: there weren't as many good pics of Laguna because of the Fog in the morning and the fact that this was more of a Class oriented thing and we really weren't let lose untill the last two track sessions.



Pictures were taken by Dito Milian from gotbluemilk.com For those of you who havn't met the guy he's really nice and takes some great pictures, I recomend you at least buy a CD from him. The pictures alone will help you evaluate yourself tremendously.

[ilangsfs]

Nice pics mang. Looks like track riding is a world of fun compared to the street. Can't wait till I can make it to a track.

Cool.....I like the 3rd pic the best.

And what's on your tank?

 

[RC2llV]

AHHAHAHAH...ooo yeah...on my tank at Laguna..Those are Mapquest directions to the track.

THEY WERE FRIGGIN WRONG, I ended up wandering around Salinas for 30min before I found the track. I got all pissed and mixed up that I didn't think I'd be able to remember they way back home so I left them on so I could try to backtrack my way home.

OK........I got lost in kentucky once because i used mapquest.

I was thinking it was something like

Turn 1....2nd gear
Turn 2....1st gear

[zus600rr#388]

Ill be at thunderhill on monday. any of you guys going???

 

[snikwad]

dude, you need to get a ride to the track man. in that 4th pic, you can see how your tire is squared off a lot. Im sure it didnt bother you but im confinced that youd feel better if it was still round shaped.
Look good tho man. im such a loser, i need to start doing track days.
Hopefully 07 will be the year.

 

[Rayzorman1]

Lookin good bro, at a quick glance I thought there was smoke coming off your rear tire in that 2nd pic....

 

[Guest]

Awesome man, just awesome! PM me next time you go to Laguna. The tack is only 15 min from me,

 

[RC2llV]

I'll be going to Laguna this Friday Oct. 6th actually. Club Desmo is running a trackday their that day, it was a last minute thing that they were able to get the track that day, Some spots might still be open.

I'm running C class though, only my 4th trackday ever and my bike is still stock. I'm most likely going to buy some race tires this friday instead of running my Pilot Powers.

 

[Guest]

Nice.. You'll have a blast! Club Desmo is a great group. I'd like to g, but I don't think my pocket book would allow it. I might stop by and check it out though. They have great lunches!
