I might need tires by that time, so I don't know if I'll go. What's 10/17-18?

Including the wheels, about 1.5 hours, tops. That includes wiping it down and polishing it, too.

You'll be fine on the big track. Listen to the instructors and you'll be fine. The instructors main goal is to teach the basics so you can have a decent day and not wreck. Some noobs take it past their limit and wreck a lot. Take it slow and easy and build from there.

yea-not tryin to drag knee or nothing, just be smooth. i started sittin on the bike semi tucked, with my hands behind my back and my ass just off the seat to build up alil stamina. i just do it til it hurts every time i park the bike. im in decent shape, but i hear its a workout to a few specific muscles

It is just a really fast track! I guess when I go I want to do Streets (although it may be Button Willow) because I would think it would be better for learning turns and tight maneuvers.

I have never been to a track day so I am just going on what it feels like being in a car...and the big track was fast!

Maybe this is just my nerves though...

my first (and only) track day was on a very fast track. fastest in the central race circuit. In sept they are opening the short track and I hope to hit that. Should slow it down and make it more technical.
