Yo. After a handful of years riding (and a couple off), I finally got around to a track day. Unfortunately I couldn't get the GoPro going since I only had the suction cup mechanism.

I got in 3 x 15 minute sessions, and a 30 minute session (almost too long) at Summit Point Main circuit.

I had just gotten brand new Dunlop Q2's installed 3 days before track day, and I installed new EBC's in the rear. I would like to upgrade my front pads, and my brake lines. I am hoping to get in another track day next Monday (Labor day).

Below - me exiting the carousel (turn 6) with a CR right behind me.

 

nice shot, man. how many people ran that day?

 

A lot. Around 20 in the beginner group, 16 in intermediate, 20-30 in am/pro racing group. I'm guesstimating, of course.

 

Have any heating issues? If not, have you done anything from your stock cooling system? How did those tires hold up?

Sorry about the questions. Nobody I know actually tracks their bikes

 

We started in the morning, until mid afternoon. Low 80's, low humidity - near the end of the day, it was close to 90.
First 3 sessions I was around 170-180 deg. Last session I was floating around 200. This was with actual coolant, no water wetter or engine ice. I will be flushing out for water wetter.

Tires were excellent - I'm coming from previous generation qualifiers.

 

nice! congrats!!!

 

I miss the track One day the RC will go back to where she belongs.

 

looking good man

 

definitely need to get those braided lines man and of course a good set of pads up front, i never use the rear brake because ur just asking for pavement, but congrats on the track day, before you know it the street will seem like a little kids playground to you

 

i was hoping to do one this year, but it wasnt meant to be.

 

you've still got 4 months!
