Saturday turn out to be an awsome day. Cakes thanks for all the advices. Im looking forward to see you at the track again soon.
As for the TPM, they are really well organized club. All the coaches are helpfuul and friendly. I even meet two other Polish guys and I tought Im the only one out there LOL.
Sunday was a nightmare. I rode TWO sessions ONLY. Never saw so many accidents and red flags in one day. We had 10 crashes just till the lunch. The NYSBC coaches got pissed off and banned passing for the whole second session in the red group. Not even half way thru the first lap what do I see RED flag. Two idiots crashed at the straightaway doing 70mph .
After that I took a break and had one decent session before the lunch.
After lunch did not get to ride due to serious accident in the blue group(dont remember the guy on the gsxr name but they got him to the hospital quickly). That took all my riding desire away and when I finally got ready to ride,the sky opened big time and that ended the day.

I was there sunday- not riding, just cruised up on the streetbike & hung out with my friends @ the Shadow booth. Before i got there, I had it in my mind that maybe I'd check things out and maybe write an article for the magazine about NYSBC's trackday. after seeing what a crashfest it turned out to be, I decided I'd be doing them a bigger favor by NOT writing an article... FWIW, the shadow crew said last sunday was better than the last date they did with them. Doug said that they were just trying in to make it home alive, that time. I think the wole time i was there, there was one advanced group session that didn't get red flagged- i think that was it for all the groups. The rain was a blessing- it meant that a few more people got to take their bikes home unscarred. What a disaster!

It was accually the red session before the lunch that had no accident. I like those guys from NYSBC and will ride with them again. Funny thing wat that in the morning I said to my buddy Mike(first time with NYSBC) that we need to wait till after lunch to have some fun on the track, just cause the weekend/NYC/wannabe riders need to kill themselvs first... I wanted to get a video of me riding badly but did not got a chance to do so.
