Post track day report:
Weather was awesome. About 65 degrees and very little humidity. Rained the day prior but bright sunshine greeted us on day 1.
This is only my 3rd track day so I am a little slow / apprehensive. My buds, this was their second track day, and I'd say we are all a little faster each time. We all rode in the "I" class for the first time.
I was real skiddish in the first session and with each subsequent session I got a little more confident.
What I did, since I was in a new, faster group, was I gridded up dead last. Let the tires warm up for 2.5 or 3 laps then turned the Busa loose!
By the end of the 20 minute session, I 'd usually run down about 7 riders. Kinda cool showing the back side of the Busa to dudes on SVs, CBRs and Triumphs when only moments ago I was getting wierd looks from them like 'what the hel* is that thing doing here'!
Toward the end I was braking later, carrying some front brake to the apex and immediately rolling on the throttle on the way out. Only felt the front slide one time, made a mental note about where I was and how was rolling on the throttle and did not exceed it the next time through. Sure came a long way and the Busa had a friggin blast!
Raybusa (who drove down from TN to meet up with us) put some pics in the Gallery here at the .oRg

I am going to have to wait to get the ones the track photo dude took.....
The wife took some vid and I'll try to edit it and get it on Youtube or something!
This time, there was another Busa there, guy on a red / black '05 was running in "N" and we gave him a heads up about the oRg. Maybe he'll drop by!!!
Looking forward to another date in early '09 and HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOU OUT THERE THEN!
