I must say, I have been to numerous track days last year, (Well 8 to be exact) and the only ones who go are the Kneedragger and Poisonivy. I read a lot on this board how everyone wants to go, but there are only a few that have made the jump. It's not that bad and once you do it, you will be hooked for life. Just ask the ones I coaxed into going last year. (Ledkat, Gravy, Jason). All I can say is STEP UP POSERS!!! Time to ride. The Poisonivy and I are going to Thunderhill on May 28, (Keigwins at the Track) plenty of room in B- and in A/B. We will be in B. / There is another one on June 11, Kneedragger and I are going down to the Thunder again (This is the draggers third time to the big T). Cascade Track Days is hosting several days, April 23 (Looks like Rain though) May 7, and several others. Reno Fernley is coming along with the new Oregon Raceway in August. I working on a trip down to Pahrump, Nevada in October - "Yeah Baby", Vegas and Riding all in the same weekend. I don't want to sound like I'm picking on anyone, I'm just calling u-all out, POSERS!!!!! Your turn.:mooning: :sticking- :victory-s

I'm almost there.:yes: Just bought boots, looking at leather pants, and just a couple more things and I'll be ready to do a trackday. Definately doing one this summer. shooting for June or July. I can't wait! I've heard it's as addictive as crack without the nasty side effects:lol:

Dan, I can tell you what I do and have. First the bike. Tape off the headlight tail light. I use duct tape. I remove my blinkers, disconnect the head light and tail light. Remove my mirrors and replace the antifreeze with water weter. Good tires. No loose parts anywhere. Take off the license plate.

My gear. I have a back protector, boots, one piece Kangaroo suit, good pair of gloves and a good brain cage. Tires need to be in good shape, they don't have to be new, but shot. Tools and gas.

What you need to do is go to the promoters web site and look at the restrictions. that will make it clear what is needed to be done. See you at the track J.J.
