A little bit from now... October at Miami Homestead then December at Moroso Motorsports park. PS. Not sure why but I couldn't seem to drag my knee, I'm wondering if I could have pushed the bike just a little bit harder.

You dont need to drag your knee... and if you're trying to drag your knee you're probably going slower than you actually can. I have to search for the pics of guys dragging their knee and getting passed on the outside.

I know guys who can drag their knee at 10mph in parking lot drills.... it has nothing to do with speed

Dont think about it... it will come

OCTOBER!!!

You can wait that long to get back to the track? Wowzers... you're not as addicted as I thought

-jh <---jonesing to get back this month

Good looking pics. Don't obsess with getting your knee down...it will happen when you least expect it.

04-18-2007, 2:08 PM

Awesome! Trackdays rock! Where's the full report?

firebladejedi · 04-18-2007, 2:58 PM

Track days are great, getting your knee down is just for looks, i pass my mate on his zx10r on round abouts in jeans and trainers while he is busy wearing out his sliders, he he...

Make sure you get the full tintanium sliders for max sparks in the dark!!!

stratsRR · 04-18-2007, 5:05 PM

You don't need to get your knee down to be fast.Don't think about it.It will happen and you will say Oh **** the first time and then it will come natural.

stratsRR · 04-18-2007, 5:07 PM

Oh yeh,the track is an awsome rush.Lasts all day! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yup. I'm trying to get my F4 ready for that date w/TPM.

Let's hear a full review about that track. I'm about 3.5 hours from Moroso and Jenningsgp. I've been to Jennings several times and have heard that Moroso is totally different.

Agreed, your knee dragging will come with time. And it probably will spook you the first time you get your knee down. Anyway, pics look good and thanks for sharing.

That is no fun, especially when you end up low sided yourself from doing that.

Moroso is fun but is dangerous in spots. Jennings is more flowing with Moroso having more stop and go areas. The pavement was also in need of a repave about 10 years ago which I think is happening this summer finally.

Here is a vid to the track.

I was looking for a video like this for months, thanks dude!

And if you don't mind me asking, is his speed readout setup in mph?
