Default My first tracky day 5/4/08!!

So my friend, his brother and I will he heading to Pocono North Sunday for our first track day. Im really looking forward to it, especially after hearing how everyone who has done a track day raves about it. We will be taking the ART Basic course too so I hope I learn a lot of neat things. I was kind of hoping I would be taking the F4I there for the first time, but it should be very interesting on the 1000RR.

Good luck and you'll have a great time. There will be a lot of information tossed at you but Bill or John will guide you through it all. It should be a great time.

I'll be there coaching, not sure what course but I'll be there.

You'll do fine, and your skills will increase a great deal. Post a write-up with some pics after...and good luck with the new machine!

I just hope it doesnt rain!! They are calling for rain all weekend and that is really going to limit what Im willing to do on this brand new bike. Anyone know if they are cool with me videotaping this? I know you cant have anything on the bike, but I was thinking of setting up my camera on a tripod off to the side and just taping it.

next time if you get a chance spend the $100 for Art II. It's the BEST I have experienced so far!

Ha ha, dude, I brought my brand new 2008 bike there! NO WAY would I have had fun if I crashed. Maybe when I get a track bike.

Anyway, here are some pictures!!!













Someone got airlifted out of there...



Some other people riding...







Here I am!!



And this is what the track did to my nice new tires...



Cant wait to do it again!

Any bike on the street with tires like that gets instant respect...good deal man, bike looks great out there.

It's also always nice to see performance cages being pushed to their full potential.
