Cost me $300 for the day, only because I'm a track newbie and I'm renting a suit and back protector for $50.

Bring bike, gas and food.
Need mirrors off, lenses taped, bike in great shape, tires 80% or better.
Full riding suit, one or two piece(full circumference zipper), gloves, over the ankle boots(not low or cheapo work boots), late model full face helmet and back protector(rent or borrow one).
Bring a good attitude, willing to learn and be humble. No Rossi or Mladin wannabes. Have fun!

You'll like it Take all the agressiveness you wish you could do on the street, and get rid of the worries from the street, eg cops, gravel, animals, cars, etc, and put that together, and it makes for some fun riding.

I think so but fuck it, just ride. BTW, Pocono is a good rain track. That asphalt is super grippy.
