Was accepted to an Advanced Rider Training Course at the track for this Friday.

Includes a training certificate that should help me race at other tracks as well as a professional DVD with stills and video shot on the track. 4 hours of class then hit the track for a few hours.

Instructor has a set of racing leathers I can use this time.

Can't wait

Looking back at the aeriel picture Derek, is that an 1/8th or full drag strip through the middle of the circuit?

Looks Fantastic Derek!

Glad you are able to go out and have a good old time like that. Looking for MORE photos of MORE good times!

Take care, Bill

I figured the sparks from the kick stand would be better in the garage than on the track

Oops, sorry......It would have to be 1/8th. I'll ask when I go back on Fri.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #34 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:33:56 PM »

Going off the scale on Google Earth, it has to be 1/8th.

Dragracing is every other weekend and Cars run against bikes

Sounds like lots of fun. I'm jealous.

Cars and Bikes run separately Sam

Pics on the strips web site say otherwise Derek.

Another day at the track today for my advanced rider course. I'm so fricken sore......... especially my hips. Must be from hanging off to the side so much.

No photos yet, they had a video on one bike and a still photographer taking photos from different areas on the course.
They mail out the DVD later.

Just got back from Vancouver last night from an emotional roller coaster, but I received my DVD of the vids and photos and had to get into them a bit. I'm out in the garage squishing all my clothes and tools into my saddle bags for Sturgis.

I did get a few of them sized though.

VERY nice Derek!!!! Love the lean shots!!! Looks like another great track day!

And good to see you in leathers this time - you actually look quite racer-ish

How are you tires? The front tire pattern looks a little dated but maybe hard to say? Any slip up front?

cheers
Andy

seaweb11 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2009, 11:31:09 AM »

The tires are "period correct" Dunlop Roadmasters. I Love them, No issues with the front tires at all. I did almost do a high side coming out of a corner a bit to hard. Parked it after that one

Those pics are cool on so many levels.

I bet it's safe to say you had the only chrome framed, crocodile upholstered, Tracy bodied bike on track that day.

Way to go!!,I am jealous also,its time to get back out there,no other feeling like it,hooked is a good word for when you experience it,but remember that asphalt will NOT give you a mulligan!!,Be careful,have fun and get some leathers!Please,Bill

Once you get more into the posture side of things you will actually gain ground clearance. It's amazing how tight you can make corners when you start draggin' those knees! Your head looks great though, nice and level and looking way through the corners. Looks like a blast!
