Good stuff, busaboy....nice move, you're gonna have LOTS of fun out there!!! :thumbsup:
re: tyre pressures....IMHO - 1st time out on a track day....whatever ya run on the road, juz go a couple of pounds LESS!

You'll prolly find ur tryin' to look for other (faster) traffic in ur mirrors (which is pointless, coz they'll more than likely be taped up) a LOT of the time? Once ya get past that part and settle into a nice rhythm...u'll be havin' fun all the way!!!

enjoy it mate!
:thumbsup:

I have this funny feeling you'll be a "Track *****" by days end! Track time is more addictive than cocaine. One shot is just not enough.

Please give us your thoughts on your first outing. You'll definately come home with better skills than your left with.

Have fun! We are awaiting your post thoughts.

I did a track day up there on my GSXR 1k last year, it was a blast. Make sure you get the track layout memorized well before you really start getting on it.

What tires will you be running? I run 30/30 cold for Q2s and BT16s
