...To FINALLY do my first freakin' trackday already!!! Time to see what the ol' girl's still got in her..... hopefully she doesn't blow up, hahah

But yea, some arm twisting was involved by my buddy being I wasn't planning on doing any trackdays until later this summer, but it was really too good of a deal to pass up. Basically a free trackday, it's pretty much just gonna cost me gas to get there and back (1400 mi round trip), and my buddy offered to help out with gas even just cuz he wants me to get out on the track with him so bad, lol. I've just gotta work tech/registration/whatever the dude running the trackday (a buddy of mine) needs help with for a little bit to cover the cost of the trackday, then the rest of the day is mine.

I must say, I'm pretty excited! Should be a good time. Doing it at Palm Beach Int'l Raceway in West Palm Beach, FL on the 20th of this month. I'm gonna feel like a n00b all over again!

 

Congrats Jared and it is great to see you on this board. You may remember me from GSB/BSB just out of happen stance.

 

You'll love it! ...Especially when its free! Throw in a road trip to boot, you've got yourself a good time ahead.

 

Damn you and your riding in February while I am stuck under 3 feet of snow . Can you tell I am jealous.

 

206k all by yourself?! wtf how is that possible

edit: Honda

 

206,000 miles and your going to rev it between 10-14k all day long? Your insanity is not limited to the amount of riding you do it seems. I like it!

 

206k? the engine is just beginning to be broken in!

 

honda lives forever. immortality it should be its call sign.

 

Ohhh man.... yea I'm hooked. They weren't joking when they said one hit of the trackpipe was all it took! LOL Must..... have...... more...

Seriously I had so much fun.... learned a whole lot and had a great time in the process. I think I'll be back, hahah. I may have alot of street experience but this was something totally new, so I'm back to being a total n00b again and in learning mode. I was slow and my body positioning was horrid (they said I had the lines down great though), but hey that's what trackdays are for, to learn, right? I got lots of help from other people at the track and by the end of the day had already made some good improvements



Not much as I didn't push it too hard on a sport touring tire, but still had fun and got a few dingleberries.... ol' girl has still got some spunk (she ran great & didn't miss a beat all day!)









More pics to follow later on... I'm off to pass out, lol.... I am beyond exhausted, lol. As if the trackday itself didn't make me sore enough, sitting in my car for 700 more miles back home the next day definitely didn't help any, hahah

 

Looks like you had a great time...now you've got me itching!
