I'm curious. How many out there are doing track days? If yes, where are you riding? Anybody riding at Barber in B'ham, AL? NESBA or STT? Let me know...

posts moved due to crazy thread jacking

i did a trackday with teampromotion, on the lightning course in millville, new jersey, last sunday, what a great track. smooth, and fast. great day:D

I am very much in favor of folks doing what they like to do. No judgement here. But, for me, the more I ride on the track the less I like the street. I'll be at Little Tally 11/09 with STT. Love some company...

WTF??? That was random...

As for track riding. Yes, I don't ride streets anymore. If your ever in the west coast, hit me up and we can do a track day together.

I ride Jennings GP in north Florida every now and then. We are renting the track May 2nd and 3rd and still have a few expert spots open if anyone is interested.

Was there two weeks ago. First time at Jennings. GREAT track!

Hey no way. I was there 2 weeks ago also. What were you riding? I didn't see any other RC's oh wait I rode on Monday but several people I know were there Sat and Sunday, I heard it was crazy busy.

I rode on Sunday only. Yea, it really was nuts. All the classes were packed. They ended up turning away the walk-in's without reservations...No more slots available. I was one of only two RC's that day (that I'm aware of). It was frustrating running into slower traffic on every lap. Pulling into the hot pit to let slower traffic pass didn't help. Doing that, which I tried a couple of times, only ended up putting me either behind, or in the middle of, another slow group of riders. Couldn't get out of traffic. Still, it was a fun day and as I said before the circuit was great to ride on. I'll be at Barber end of April with NESBA. Let me know if you can make it. I'll look out for you...

Ya the other RC was black it's a guy I know from Tampa he is pretty fast. I can't go to Barber but it is on my short list of must do's. Everyone says it's awesome. I'm going back to jennings on May 2nd and 3rd. My shop is renting the track let me know if you want to go. We have limited it to 50 riders.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. Thanks for the great offer, but that weekend we're back to Barber for the AMA Superbike races. The gang that I ride track with includes the local Honda dealer. Last Oct. he sprung for a private day at Jennings. The number ended up being about 20 folks including a last minute appearance by (no BS) Josh and Melissa Hayes who spent the day thoroughly embarrassing everyone. BTW: Melissa's NO slouch on her CBR 600--taking no prisoners!!! Unfortunately, yours truly had a last-minute, job-related hick up and didn't attend. This year, I'll be there. I will gladly let you know the particulars. We have the liberty (to a point) to invite friends/guests. So no issues if you're interested. Probably going to be in the Fall, when things cool off...

That's awesome, my business partner was there that day. Unless they were there some other time in addition to that time, He said Josh and Melissa were super cool people.

I live in San Diego and ride the track often. I'll be at Pharump in June, Fontana in July and BW in August. Let me know if you will be at any of those trackdays.

It's good to see riders with the trackday thinking in place! Going stupid on the road hasn't interested me for over 10 years, since I did my first trackday. Being on the other side of 'the big drink', I can't say that I know any of 'your' tracks, likewise I don't think many or any of you will know Oran Park, Winton, Eastern Creek(my current fave'), Wakefield Park... I am hanging to get to ride my Holy Grail that is Phillip Island. I've heard nothing but good/scary fast things about that track...
Have any of you ridden Laguna Seca? And is the Corkscrew as psycho as it looks on the TV? I'm guessing it's even worse in real life!

Sorry mate, i'm wondering ..is there any rental for track bike(prefer 400cc@CBRR or RVF) in Philip Island? How much is the cost?...Im thinking next year january goin for Holiday there wz the family...

I'm not sure...I'll look into it for you. I'd suggest you'd need at least a 600cc machine for The Island: is a wide open, FAST track! I had a VFR400 ages ago, and I'd suggest you'd spend nearly half the lap on the limiter in 6th 'round there!

hmmm, i have been in PI back in 99, watching the granprix back then..heard that Arai & Shoei helmet bit expensive down under....U know what..there is a Aussie rider who used to race for Singapore team few years back & now he have success in TT races...i meet him once when he conduct supermoto race & even race with him in Singapore clubman race(open class in sportbike catagories)...

Im hitting MidOhio June 29/30. Its STT instructors and non racing. I ll be hitting Putnam and maybe Ledges as well actually. Midohio is paid and time is off from work, Putnam is a sat. and so is Ledges, so I ll worry when the time gets closer for those.

Stoked!

I'm just getting back into trackdays this year. I was at Jennings in Feb and March, and did Road Atlanta on Fathers Day. That was incredible! I really like that track, and I plan on going back in Sept with STT again. I wanted to do Jennings in August, but none of my trackday friends wanted to go. I decided to go to South Florida and race at Palm Beach Int. Raceway instead! I used to live down there, but moved before they got around to rebuilding and renaming Moroso Motorsports Park. That track was pretty crazy, and the new one looks much nicer. Still really fast, but also some really long carousel turns. Old Moroso had really old pavement and some nasty tight chicanes!
Anyway, should be some old friends there to hang with. My license app went out in the mail today!

Changed all that, now I'm going to Jennings after all. Going to hit it Sunday 8-23.

I'm in the midst of sorting a day. Not just any old day, though: the LAST EVER trackday at the fabled Oran Park before it gets torn down :...( It'll be a ripper, and it's on Christmas Eve.

May do one at miller in Salt Lake City in Oct. Need the gear first though. When I bought the bike I received a full leather suit but it is toooo small (46 and I must be at least a 50). Also need boots. I have short but fat feet (9 EEEE). Minor issues I hope to work out before Oct.

I've done 4 track days so far this year, with 2 more scheduled next weekend. After that there may be a couple more, but the road trips will be getting longer the later it gets in the season.

Good day at Jennings last Sunday. Heading back to Road Atlanta on 9-6. Can't wait!
I know at least one more RC will be there, guy I met at the last Road Atl day. So two for sure running around.

my Ducati club is renting Jennings on OCT 23rd we still have some spots available. its Only $125 and we gonna have suspension set up guys to help out with any settings. We are not only limited to Ducatis as I will probably be running my RC and a couple of guys have R1s. Here's the link

track days are the BEST because... no tickets!!! at least not on the track:eek:

Shameless plug....I'm renting out Jennings in north Florida on March 20-21 and
October 9-10. We always have a great and safe time when we do this because 90% of us know each other and the other 10% we welcome with open arms. If you are interested send me a pm. Price is $125 for a single day and $200 for the weekend. BBQ lunch and all day water included.

I am new to this forum and so far like what I see. For my money track days are the best. I find myself riding less on the street and more on the track anymore. So who has some days planned for 2010! I am sure to hit a few with Sport Bike Track Time.

Apex is sponsoring a track day at MMP near Salt Lake City on 17 Apr. A few of us from the Boise area are heading down.

I am in count down for 4/3 at NJMP Thunderbolt and am taking my RC for my first ride since I got her to see what is she all about and Imagend that I am Colin Edwards when he was in WSBK against Troy Byless (hey I can dream:D)

Barber on April 24 and 25th, riding with NESBA. This will be my first time out with the RC51. Bought it this past fall and have been picking up rashed plastics and a tank from EBay for doing track days. The bike now has pristine 2004 Nicky stuff on it. Will probably just do a few track days cause this bike is SO pretty I don't want to kill it. So far every track bike I've had eventually ended up on the ground, so I probably am not going to push the RC too hard, just enough to have fun and a shit eating grin at the end of the day!

I was supposed to go to Deal's Gap on the 25th, but if the mess up there doesn't get cleaned up I'll be hitting Barber instead.

I wanted to go this weekend but last minute schedule mix-up found me at home. Le me know how it was...

The weather was shite Saturday, but was perfect today:)

I'm in Semmes. PM me to ride street or track...

Roebling Road first weekend in June. WERA event. Barber (with STT) end of June...

I'm in Semmes. PM me to ride street or track...

Sweet. I'm not riding the street much anymore, but do sneak out from time to time. I'll give you a shout sometime:)

Bought the RC51 fpr nothing but track days STT! Looking at trying to get the bike fixed and do track days at Barber, Nashville, and Road to Atlanta at a minimum. Also, going to get my WERA License again to do some privateer racing.

Peace Out

Myself and a few others have kind of an unofficial track day "association" based out of A&B Honda in Mobile. The gang is always looking for new folks to get involved...

I gotta tell ya I'm a little jealous. Being in Huntsville you're a whole lot closer to the Temple of Speed (AKA: Barber Motorsports Park) than we are here on the Coast. From Mobile it's four hours or more to any track we go to...

BTW: STT is THE BEST track day organization I've ridden with.

I probably know some of those guys. Is Darryl Tomlinson one of them?

Him and James are off to Barber this weekend for the WERA races. I was planning on riding up Sat to catch the action, but Mamma had other plans for us. No worries, I've done my share of dragging her to the track. She deserves a little pay back...
