Who's going to Laguna this year for Motogp?  I went to WSBK at Miller last year and after the races were over we did the track day.  My whole summer is planned around track days and camping.  We are going to try and do Pahrump, and Sonoma.

Anybody else here into trackdays??

I did a couple at Miller a few years ago. What a kick in the pants. Always wanted to get to Laguna. I hope to have a bike again in the future.

I do roughly 16-17 2-day HPDEs every year - but in a cage.

Pahrump is a fun.  Track days are worse the Meth.

Been over six years since I rode a bike on the track or at all and I still get cravings.

Yep its something that never goes away.  I had a couple good buddies die on the street the past few summers.  So I am track only from here on out.

If your ridding Pahrump then you may know of the guys I used to ride with.  Sin City Sportbikes.  One of the best riders was killed on the street.  Gleno was the man, and a very good guy as well. Shortly after that I took the tags off my bike.

I've done a couple, but quickly figured out that continued track days would mean the end of my marriage, credit score and good health.

Wife and try to do a track day or two a month on local Tx tracks.  Going to be riding Circuit of the Americas this summer though!

Would love to ride CotA, and Laguna.  They both probably do have some track days set up around Moto GP this year too.

My track days are limited to Blackhawk Farms, adn Road America.

I usually do a few a year. Mostly at a regional track (Blackhawk Farms at the WI/IL border) but have done probably 5-6 at Road America and two days at Mid Ohio.

Road America rules if you like top speed Some day I want to try Laguna Seca.

I did my first track day when I was a kid at Road America and have been addicted since. Moved around the world for a few years and always had either a car or a bike that was ready for track duty, when I moved to Utah I either had to haul my toys out of state or do autocross until MMP opened.

Used to be.




This is Autobahn Country Club in Joliet IL.

While I was active, I hit Putnam, Road America, Gingerman, Blackhawk Farms, Grattan, and Autobahn.

Autobahn was where I crashed and discovered how much it hurts when you have 5 broken bones in your shoulder.

I gave it up and sold both bikes (the 748 in the picture (track bike) and a 1098 (street bike)).

For me, it's the only way to ride.  I really, really miss it.

Used to love them, gave it up when I turned 60.  


This picture is at Little Talladega (before they changed the layout) on my old ZX6R.  I've also done Jennings, Autobahn, Road Atlanta and VIR.

Track days are Meth.  Racing is Meth on steroids.
