PO'd... Track Day Rained Outryanslat 03-15-2003, 08:22 PM I'm planning on heading up to Jennings GP tommorow for a track day Monday, but the forcast is 60-70% chance of thunderstorms. I've never been on a track before so I've been waiting a long time for this. I don't want to drive six hours for this crap Reyndogg 03-15-2003, 08:25 PM my first track day sucked because it poured all day long, was 40 degrees, windy as hell....oh, and I was on a R1 with 207s :eek :shake ryanslat 03-15-2003, 08:32 PM DOH! I was gonna run 207's RACER X 03-15-2003, 08:48 PM sorry to hear that....had a great track day yesterday....3/14....sunny about 75....perfect! javawhz 03-15-2003, 10:45 PM been there, done that :D But, if you've never been on a track I would advise you to still go out there and ride slow if the rain is light. You can use this time to get acquainted with the track and learn the lines so that next time you can go out with more confidence. Good luck :thumb ryanslat 03-16-2003, 04:31 AM I'm not driving six hours to get dumped on my first time at the track. I'll wait until next weekend.

My avatar picture is on my warmup lap of one of the sessions before I started hanging off. ryanslat 03-16-2003, 09:14 AM Originally posted by Vandal My avatar picture is on my warmup lap of one of the sessions before I started hanging off. Everytime I see that avatar, I think "screw that, I'll wait until it evaporates" However, I got to admit I am always a little sketchy while riding in the rain on the streets. I'd like a little wet track time to build my confidence of the bike's/tire's limits in the rain. Not for my first time, though.

Well last year I did a track school in the rain (on and off all day) and found out that I'm not slower on a wet track than I am when it's dry. I think it's time for me to SPEED THE HELL UP! ;) dazdconfsd 03-17-2003, 06:12 AM Well, FWIW - You missed a great track day from all reports. It dried out and got nice. ryanslat 03-17-2003, 06:54 AM I was going today, Monday: | |
