Man, that looks like fun. It's been so long since I've done a track day I almost can't remember it. Don't know if I'd run a bike though. I like having four wheels under me.

Yeah, I was in the beginner group (C), Mark was is the intermediate (B) and there is also a race group (A). There were a few less than considerate C groupers (including that Desmo ) but for the most part it is not too bad.

A friend of our (the one that works at the local bike shop) got about 25 people to buy at the same time and got us all an amazing deal for the two days. If you can find 5+ people that want to go ask the organization what kind of group deal you can get.

Mark did a test video last night with a new program and I think it turned out pretty good...although he did not realize he grabbed the wrong video for the last few turns (the camera was tilted too low) and he will probably fix it today. Hopefully I can make a new video today too.

I did the 1/2 day class at Willow Springs a while back (birfday present!), race-prepped Celica GT's) and that was a lot of fun, even if underpowered!

My GT is soft top so I don't think I can use that, but one day I might be able to get a car to bring to the track and play too!

Riding the bikes though is gnarly! I've never ridden (except for very slow riding on a dual at the clay pits) so I have to live vicariously though you guys that DO ride!

A lot of the companies that put on the events have race car rentals available
