Fun was had man! Several things were learned. 1.) I am slightly out of shape 2.) No more track days for me in peak summer. Rode 5 sessions and decided I had enough of the heat. By the time I loaded all my junk up, I'm pretty sure I had a mild heat stroke, dizzy, throbbing headache, etc. It was intense! But damn it was fun! Man, how refreshing it was to be back on track! I was really impressed with the NC's handling too! Just sucks on power. R3's were pulling on me slightly in the straights, only way I could pass anybody was outbrake them or prepare and exit the corner harder and overtake.
Nice I'm glad you had fun-its so addicting!!! but that was me just couple of weeks ago. I felt super slow and I was worn out, out of shape etc but it gradually got better as the day went. It's time to bump up that cardio and come do a track day at Barber. I plan on being there!
I want to go in October so bad, but the Barber weekend is my wife's birthday weekend, and I know to choose my battles wisely. LOL. So far I am still planning on going back to Tally mid September, then it's a toss up after that. Want to at least hit Barber once this Fall, maybe November in worst case.
