    I am going to be doing my 1st track day in April. Should I do 1 day or both days?

    2 day Pros:
    If you like it you will be chomping for a second day.
    Two days makes it easier to build the skills from learned day one
    Depending on where you go the gas expense is over two days lowering average cost

    Cons:
    If you dislike it (yep some do) you are out a days fee
    Depending on age/conditioning you may be tired on day two
    You cannot apply lessons learned on prep the second day (something that generally makes it more enjoyable)
    Gear or bike issues on day one are sometimes beyond fixing for the second day.

    I would did three the first time and had no regrets.

    Thanks for the opinion Sheep. I think I'll go for 2 days, even if I am old, fat and out of shape. :lol:

    2 days for sure, the second day you'll feel better + put everthing together. Plus Monday you'll be really jacked up 4 your next event and your legs will be twice as sore.

    I did two days first time and am glad I did. I was able to make some minor adjustments to the suspension during day one and enjoyed day two even better.

    What track will be your first?
