I recently decided to do a trackday with a few buddies and i had a blast. here goes some pics...

4am: all packed up




7am: breakfast, stock up on red bull and top off gas cans


730am: unloaded, ready for tech




8am: got on track (street group)








i couldn't really improve my body positioning cause of the brand spanking new pants



Have a nice day

-Rage

 

nice, where was this at? how much did the entire day cost?

 

Nice pics. Probably $300 a person.

A single day never costs that much.

But I'm glad you were there, at the event so that you can answer for him.

 

Very nice

 

Looks like SOW. That's usually about $120-$130, plus the damn $10 gate fee.

And another one is hooked! Trackdays f*cking RULE.

Fast Track Riders comes close to that figure though, with their INSANE charge of $259 for the AMA course. They need to lower their damn prices.

Well, TPM rider course is $250, and superbike school is $420... but you are paying for 1-on-1 instruction, classroom time, as well as the track time. Its not just a trackday really.

Although Newk just feels like he needs to interject in every thread without thinking.

 

^^ Yeah, that $259 from Fast Track is with NO instruction. Weaksauce. I like their track, but not enough to shell out 259 bones.

TPM is cheaper if you put me down as your referral and I give you some money back

Trackdays are usually anywhere between 120-200 for a day with beginner classes or race schools being more expensive.

And +1 on Newk being an uninformed retard.

 

that looks like SOW, cant wait to see it in about 2-3 hrs...toyota 200 ftw

 

looks like you had fun!!!

135$ and no gate fee....through hypercycle.com

awesome organization if you like a little freedom with your trackday.

they allow passing inside, outside through the turns(as long as you give them space) in the STREET group....as far as i know, no other trackday organization allows that...

we actually left a little early...got in 6-7 sessions throughout the day....very little down time


oh yeah...it was at streets of willow springs in rosamond, cali

BTW- it is true what they say...trackdays get ADDICTING...i would recommend any rider to do at least one....totally worth it...

 

Great stuff. SOW is a fun fun track. Tight, but not too much so.

Congrats on poppin' your cherry!

quit crying Infineon trackdays are usually $270-300, Laguna Seca is $300-325, and Thunderhill is $170-190

 

where did the fender on the SV go? did you use a kit or did you just pull it off?

You guys are throwing money away...it's $30 for open practice for SuMos.

 

stage jacket and track pants? i have the same setup, and know EXACTLY how you feel about the new pants. stiff as hell at first, takes time to break them in, i'm still working on that
