Great pictures Cap! The guy on the SV1000 behind you there is Kenny Hoover, very good friend of mine, and one of the people I rode to the track with.
Thanks again for the very cool Hayabusa plaques, they arecurrently resting safely on the top shelf of my cabinet until i can figure a proper way to display them.
My first trip to Hallett (and my first non-rainy trackday), sure won't be my last.

Stupid question from a track noob. Why do you blackout all the lights?

Track rules.
Need to plan a September track get together when the temps are lower. We lucked out Sunday and had great weather.
Ummmm, why? Sorry, but inquiring minds, yada yada yada.
I was just thinking to myself that it might be a way to prevent distractions, but then I saw the tag was also blacked out, which didn't make sense for me.
Tag is up to the rider, it's a privacy issue. ???

The plastic lenses tend to break into small pieces and take too long to clean up. Also you are correct about the lights. They are a distraction.
Ahhh, well then I think it all makes sense then. Thanks! 
The taping of the lights goes back to when all the lenses were glass. Cars have to do the same thing.
I also pull the fuse on my headlight and triple tape the tail light so the brake light can't be seen. Completely remove my license plate and bracket.

Makes clean up easier, they can clear a track pretty quick if they dont have to pick up a bunch of itty bitty pieces.
Dude, you look like you been doing that for years!
Vonderbach, you tape up all the lights to prevent distractions (a brake light going off in your face might cause a 'survival reaction') and also makes it easier to pick up broken glass/plastic in case of a crash...around here, you also tape up your wheel weights (hitting one at high speed would hurt), and zip tie your passenger pegs, remove or tape mirrors (no looking behind you also a "SR)....

You guys have fun playing. Dangit I am still at my desk after 14 hours and 20 minutes. Back to work agin.
Great form! Have you modded the suspension of your bike at all (dogbone, 55-series tire, etc?) You make it look TOO easy (when I know it's not)...
Did you see any good pics of Cap?

No, suspension is stock. I am not going to turn the busa into a track bike. I use it for sport touring in the summer.
I want to pick up a track bike someday. The busa can get you into trouble on the track. It is a challange at times to slow all that weight down before a curve. Sure is fun...
