Default Who has track time planned for this season/year?
Just signed up for my first motorcycle track weekend of the year and I am a little stoked. This will be my "new" bike's first time at the track. Motorcycle track weekend is in three weeks followed by a car track day three weeks after that.

Also hoping to go back to Laguna Seca this Spring for their annual Miata only event...hopefully we wont get rained out this year.

Anyone else have track plans?

Driving is better than diving. Not that I know anything about diving.

What is the word on the Harley? Just not riding it? Or are you switching it up?

Just get a track-only bike...that way there is no temptation to take it on the street.

Any track car is by me. But I'd love to see if I could chase you down.

At VIR I turn lap times very similar to a close to stock C6 Z06 with both cars on R compound tires.

I usually get them by a little on the slow parts of the track... they get me on the big end.

There are plenty of cars out there faster than me but it isn't bad for a C4!

I don't get pulled on the straights quite as bad as the Miatas. The C4 was dynoed at ~460hp and weighs a smidge less than a new C6Z. They really only start pulling away when I have to hit 5th gear and they are still pulling hard in 4th.

Miatas are great when they are near equal with the other track crowd. When they hold me up-notsomuch.
