| How Many Track Days This Year? I'm curious how many track days each of you has had (or expects to have) this year. I was fortunate enough to have two days at STAR school in Pahrump, Nevada in March, two additional track days at Pahrump in June, and then another track day in Spokane in July. That's probably it for me this year, mostly due to budget constraints, and the fact that the closest tracks are about six hours from here!  I think I'd go monthly if there was a track in our area, for sure. How many have you had this year?  | |

| Re: How Many Track Days This Year? I checked 6-9 but it doesn't feel like I've been to that many. They have been very spaced out this year; 1 at Road Atl, 3 at Grattan and 2 coming up at Jennings GP. I believe NESBA has a date at Road Atl in November, I may do that one as well. Speaking of riding... I'm going to do that right now.... later.   |

| Re: How Many Track Days This Year? Seven done...one to two more planned. I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome track practically in my back yard but haven't been able to do nearly as many days as I intended to due to work issues. J |

| Re: How Many Track Days This Year? three days with fireblades, four or five more with trackoholics, and if the weather holds, maybe one more.. I've reduced my street riding to longer trips into the Kentucky-WV- SE Ohio - Southern Indiana twisties, and occasional 50 mile blasts through the countryside. I learned so much on the track this year - far more than I could have in another environment. Last edited by CBRVFR : 09-19-2004 at 11:22 AM. |

| Re: How Many Track Days This Year? Zero but 5K on the 1000RR has made me consider getting a 50 to race next year.
