How much is the cost mook?  I would be interested but im really tight on cash right now, need a new rear tire and the GF's B-Day is coming up.
But holy crap would i love to track my bike!!!

Anybody have some input on this?  Also maybe the first time at a track should be an actual track school?

I might be interested. I assume they have novice run groups for first timers?

I believe that's a STT day, they will have instruction available/mandatory for all first timers. 

I had originally signed up for that day, but couldnt get the day off.  Terry and I will be there the following 2 days.

I think it`s $205 plus a $10 membership fee. maybe another $5 to get into the track for some reason. Plus if you need tires. It says that you need 75% of tread left. I  know i`m gonna need a new one before I go. Getting my bike back next week, hope to ride a few times then grab a new tire scrub it in a day or two then go to the track. they are supposed to have a deal on Michelin tires and install if you need them there. Heard that one track day was sponsered by another company and basically if you dodn`t have that brand tire they failed most people.

I really want togo but i have to opt out of it.  A full set of tires and the trackday is too much for me to swing right now.  But have fun mook and take lots of pics!!
