Default My First Track Day

Well, on the 4th of June I had my first track day. There was about 20 of us at Gratton Raceway in Grand Rapids, MI. It was good cause we had about 10 with track exp and 10 without. We broke up into two groups and that gave us alot of space to ride. The first couple of times were kinda W.T.F did I get myself into, but as the day went on I was able to relax and have some fun. No scrappin the knee, but I was fast on the straights. Here is a couple of pics and a video of the day.

Here are most of the bikes

It was great only having 20 speed freeks out there. It was even better since we were split into two groups and had 30 min sessions each time. I was able to get out there 8 times for 30 min a piece. Here is another video. It is of my wifes cousin at first then you can hear my bike and I am in full tuck leading a pack of riders. I was hitting around 200km/h on the straight.
