Hey guys, I'm doing my second track day ( first was with nesba @ NJMP Lightning )......but this is my first with STT. I just want to know what I need in regards to STT and Absolute cycle ( who I was told is running this event ). I dont want any surprises........If I go by my checklist from my day with nesba, will I be ok, or are there any changes I need to know about? I have the basics.... Clean bike - 07' 1000rr ( with my key, lol ) lights taped / mirrors off, good tires ect... Copy of the email form from registering for the event ID Leathers gaunlet gloves boots 2 good helmets ( just in case ) Food water ( lots of it ) stands conopy / enclosed trailer to get out of the sun 5 gallons extra gas tire pump / gauge basic tool set other misc. things ( tape, rags, cleaner and so on ... ) Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks !! Lee
i'll be in the beginner ( intro ) group.......are they the same? Either way i'm a noob to trackdays., but been sportbike riding for 8+ years. I did quite well at NJMP when I was there with nesba last month. My buddy and I started off in the slowest group in the beginner class ( obviously since we have never been to a track before ), but at the later part of the day we were in the middle / front of the group and hangin' well with them. I feel like I have a good grasp of what to do out there as a beginner, but I need to learn the art of body positioning though. One of the control riders said I was doing great with my speed, markers and lines, but I wasnt getting off the bike at all........so that is what I want to work on....amongst other things too. Ego will be checked at the door.....dont worry.
lee! best of luck! your list is perfect! renard and gigantic are great coaches! have an enjoyable event and be safe! just did MMC last week and it was awesome!
