Trackday Pics - After & Before
Here are some trackday pics I just got from my most recent trip - at Miller Motorsports Park (East) in mid-October. I definitely felt like I was riding as well as ever.

In the next post I show similar photos from back in February, before instruction and lots more experience. I've still got a lot to learn, but it's fun to see the progress, and know that increased speed and safety are going along with it.

I think you just didn't realize there was a camera on you at Pahrump.

Thanks. I was feeling very comfortable that day. It was a combined group of A and B level riders, probably 40 people. That day there were only four or five people faster than me (one of whom was AMA racer Shane Turpin), which was kind of fun.
