Default 1st trackday pics

let me just start off by OMG!! I HAD THE BEST TIME OUT THERE!!! it was my very 1st trackday and it was at Thunderhill in Willows,ca so naturally i joined the c group. i followed my friend who was followng our instructor for a couple laps to sight the track and then my friend and i switched so i was following the instructor and he started to pick up the pace and saw that i was able to keep up so he kept going faster and faster. after the 1st session he said i had the speed so the next 3 sessions we worked on body position and the line. after the 4 the session the grid guy said that he heard i was "passing erratically" so they moved me into b group. so yea now im hooked. heres a lot of pics i got. some of them look the same but i dont care im showing them all






look im in front of hayden!!

Congrats on popping your track cherry! There's no going back now... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That picture of you in front of the pack is sweet. Get it, frame it, and tell all the girlies about the breakaway to win the checkered!!

Great set of photos. Whoever shot them did a great job of panning on the action shots. Looks like you made the most of it. Congrats.

well **** for c group it seemed like 50 thats why i was passing everyone and bumped to b. i taped off my speedo cuz i was looking at it too much and would go slow so i went by rpms. i stayed at like 13.5-14k in 3rd gear on an r6 so i think i was doin like 115 but down the straight i had to be doing like atleast 140 cuz i almost redlined 4th and take turn one at like 120

Great pics.

How long have you been riding for? I've been riding for about 1.3yrs and I'm going to start tracking my bike soon. I rode the mountains for the first time and I'm already addicted
