i went to an open track day at blackhawk farms with brent s. last year...looked like tons of fun...for beginners, that want to try it out, how difficult is it get started? do i have to modify my bike at all to make it track legal? i know that you need personal protective gear, but i really don't want to alter my r1...or do i just have the wrong idea? :wheelie
sweet!!!!! i really want to try this...looks like too much fun to be missing out on...last year i had an 01' r6 that i thought would be perfect for it (and it prolly was), but now i'll be riding an 04' r1! might not be perfect for the beginner track rider, bet i'll get used to it...thanx for the info!
i also heard that you get two free 20min sessions...am i right? for first timers? do you still need to tape your lights and such? i'm not complaining just curious...
yes i do... it sounds like an excellent learning experience, even for veteran street & highway riders...i even signed up for the free nesba track day...got my fingers crossed... :wheelie

A little advice: sign up for the whole day. Once you do two sessions you'll be hooked. Track riding is like crack, its VERY addictive. I did my first trackday last August and signed up for the whole day. Its worth it!
Its easy to tape your lights. Just pull the fuses for all your lights and put duct tape over them (you don't want the heat from the ligths to melt the tape to your glass). Its not hard to take off when you're finished. And mirrors come off easily. Just slap a number on your tail and you're ready to rock!
sweet...i'll start reading the n.e.s.b.a. manual (rules and what-nots) right away...plus, maybe i can con brent s. into some added info...hope to see you all at a future track day!!!
