Road America Track Day

[WWJD]

our video'd drag race up the hill on the main strait. obviously, stkr00's identical, silver, stock, 03 Hayabusa is faster than mine. Or, later I found out he wasn't letting up at the top of that hill, where as I wasn't fond of the "air time" so I rolled off a tad

It helps being in 1st gear coming out of the last turn at about 9K. The launch is awesome.

 

[WWJD]

Hey, stkr00! I think the insides of your exhaust needs cleaned up! The chase rider got some great close ups of you. Here's one

 

[WWJD]

...and stkr00 "sweeping" around!
Good times, Jim! You're a great rider and I hope you can make the next one.

 

[stkr00]

He must be under the impression I know what I'm doing by getting that close

He's a brave soul. I never even knew he was there.

 

[WWJD]

[billbell]

Glad you guys had fun!

 

[stkr00]

billbell you really should join us in May. You could do the Intro sessions for free, and then just hang out if you don't like the track.

Either way, it's a fun day with a lot of good people.

Ok, now I am jealous. I will be checking with the local track about days I can ride out there. That just looks like a blast... glad you enjoyed yourselves.

 

[BA BUSA]

Glad you guys had a good time

I can't believe that they let you run that rear tire at a track day

 

[stkr00]

The tire was only worn in the center with some wear towards the outside. They looked closely at it, but were more concerned about making sure I had the tread for cornering. I actually had about 1/16" tread depth to the center wear indicator holes, and 1/8" to the wear bars in the side treads.

Once I can work some overtime, I'll be getting a set of Michellin Pilot Powers to destroy at the track.

The stock Bridgestone BT56's stuck really well. I didn't expect them to, but they surprised me.

Awesome!, but dont worry bout whos behind you, its their responsibility to find away around you. Looks like you guys had a great time. Stkroo are you hooked or what?

Oh yeah...I'm hooked mentally, just can't support the addiction financially.

 

[WWJD]

...ah yessss FAMOUS LAST WORDS are always fun

 

[issy_busa]

Man that looks like fun. I will plan on doing this in the spring.

Beautiful pics! Wish we had such a pretty track around here. The ones here are either concrete jungle or in the middle of the desert!

I miss trees...

Looks great. I haven't tried a track day before, been a bit nervous at being in the way, but having seen the pics and the advanced vid, I don't think it'll be too much trouble.

A friend of mine and I have been discussing going over to Germany to the Nurburgring next Spring and having a session or two. The enlarged track is something like 14 miles long, geez. Got to be done as one of those once in a lifetime things.
