My first track day
- Thread starter Racer 222
- Start date
There were 3 groups. Advanced, Intermediate, and Super Street. I was in Super Street. Each group had 20 minutes then the next group and so on. 30 minute break for lunch and at it again. It went on all day. Last run was at 4:30 or so.
As far as speeds I would be guessing around 100-120. Only in one part of the track. It was very technical. Second gear for the whole thing other than the main staight.

Jester,
Trust me I Love my bike too!! That was the biggest reason that I haven't been to a track day before now. I got faster as the day went on. I started out a lot slower than I finished. As I got to know the track and find my braking points things began to move along. There were 4 wrecks that day. No one was hurt seriously. I was on new rubber. Metzler Rennsports. They were holding like glue. No slippage at all.

Lo,
All the wrecks were low sides(sliding out). I think tire pressure played a roll in 2 and speed was the other two. Hitting the corners too fast.
Lo if your already knee dragging(I still haven't got it down) You will do great there. I was cornering to the edge of the tires. It was a techinical track. Only 1 real straight away where I could get into 3 gear. Other than that it has been 2nd gear.
