You can come up with a million reasons not to, easily. I don't want to crash my bike, I want to get some suspension work done first, I want to have track plastics first, I want race-tires and warmers, etc etc etc. If you don't really want to go you'll always have a good reason not to.
If you want to go, go. If you honestly want to become a track-addict like a couple of us on here, you'll figure out a way. If you don't, you probably never will.

Absolute truth right there! Anyone can get on the track if they want. I was a total hood rat/bum and managed to do track days. I found a cheap bike and only did the cheap days with used or borrowed leathers but I got out there. I seriously raked yards to make Grattan's "open track day" every Fall. I wasn't very good and my bike was outdated and a piece of crap (RZ350) but it was fun. Of course then I got a decent job and bought a nice bike (FZR1000) ,traded in my street bike ('88 V-Max I got cheap!)and got cleaned out but you all know that story already....
You know this won't make sense but it was actually MORE fun before I got a "competitive" bike. I used to wring that damn RZ's fucking neck baby!!!! I have some pics somewhere of me at Grattan (or Gingerman), I'll post them if I can find them AND my dumb ass can figure out how to scan them and put them up!!!
