Did my first track day this past weekend at Jennings and what a blast! Everyone there at the track was really friendly and helpful. Here are some pics by the photographer.
I'd really like to get back out there soon and work on my body position, entry speeds, and reference point spotting. Any advice and criticism on my technique would be great. I was trying to keep my arms relaxed,use mainly my legs throughout the day, lay my outside arm on the tank, get one cheek off, and try and drop my inside elbow and shoulder.
Unfortunately my day was cut short in one of the last few sessions as I low-sided in turn 8. I thought I was hugging the rumble strips but one of the corner watchers said I ran it a little wide. There are minor scratches on the side fairing, cracked tail fairing, my asv lever is slightly bent, and the left rearset has been ripped off and the shift rod sheered off.
Waiting right now to see what parts will be on sale during TJ's pry your wallet open week but I'm hoping to get back out there once she's fixed in the coming weeks.
