+1 on that comment I'm sitting here staring at my computer screen wishing I would have had one less Petron on Saturday night! Maybe it was the fact that I didn't get home until 5 and I was back up at 9:30.

So how was it??

Tons of fun! Great weather, great friends!

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Great job for your 1st full track day! Hope to see you back out next season!

Hey, I missed you before you left...


Wink, did I see your RS not running at the end of the day?

Great to see you back out there on the track Jack. Sorry I spend so much time on the track and didn't have a lot of time with ya. Hope to see you back out there again more often. You seemed to be getting back in the groove very quickly.

Thanks Brian. Thanks again for letting me hang out with you guys. It was a lot of fun! I honestly can't remember the last time I went to the track and just rode. I'm not sure I ever have. It was fun. And thanks again!

The weather was awesome. There was some guy on a baby blue bike. I tried to show him a line to pickup his corner speed, but he thought he knew everything. What a great end to their season for bikes!

Yeah yeah, I was on cruise control

Thanks Tom you were awesome man I had a blast thanks for dragging me around the track. Can't wait until next season!

Thanks to all the control riders as well. You guys really make us newbies learn so much faster. Much appreciated.

Great day overall. Is the person that went down in turn 1 on the last beginner session ok? I saw the bike in the grass. I hope he/she is ok.

Does anyone know what pro photographers were onsite yesterday? I'm wondering if I can see my progress in the pics from my first intro day.

I'm utterly depreseed . I saw how much faster Wink is in corners . Waaay to go ....

Otherwise , it was beautiful day!

It was an awesome day, and BTW, you are doing MUCH better out there now Andrew.

As far as the pro photographers out there is was brothers Gron4, there pictures will be up soon on their site: http://www.gron4.com/2wheel/

Thanks Brian I have done business with them before they do great work. I'm hoping to see some progress on my cornering! I know I was going a lot faster and hanging off much further than the first day.

I had fun, of course, but was definitly surprised/dissapointed to only get 5 sessions in....

My buddy on his standard FZ6 was turning 1:32s with B group traffic and it was his first track day ever....

The new owner of the track seemed like a nice guy. He should add painting the apex curbs to his list of upgrades.

EDIT - Wink asked me if I wanted to run in "I" but I declined due to my friend being in "B" and the large numbers in "I"......that was my bright spot for the day so I'll pat myself on the back for that one.

rockin time. SuperDave's class really helped me out with bike setup. i managed on the last session of the day to pull some 1:16s in what was like B traffic

I didn't think "I" was really all that crowded. I could usually find a good chunk of wide open track every session.

I think I'll need to recalibrate my clock because you were lapping consistent 1:18s (Much faster than the rest of the group BTW )

Seriously, you were almost dragging your elbow in 4 and 5. Where did you shave 2 more seconds ?

DOH!!!! I really need to stop working so much and spend more time reading this forum!...I'm just learning about this track day a day too late

...glad all had a good time, was nice day for it!

Thanks Brian ! Seeing you in person railing the carusel definitely gave me perspective on how much skill it really takes.

Anyone know or can guess what times that guy on the orange GSXR was pulling? Dude was fast and loud!

you talking about Gerrik? he has been to a few nesba events and CCS races. just started racing this year. kid is fast.

Not sure...he was pitted btween turns 4 and 5.

Crazy fast...he was passing everyone (or at least it seemed that way from the sideline.).

Ya... orange bike was Gerrick. I was talking to Mopar about the youngen.

I told you after Gingerman, your riding is much smoother.

Don't be depressed, he makes us all feel slow at times. He has such an ability to make the bike do what we wants. Just listen to what we tell you and work on those skills. I can already see the improvement in your riding from the last few events.
