i'm looking forward to this....

It's probably to simulate the on/off ramp and freeway system....What FL peeps are used to. LOL

for 150 bucks and a bunch of free swag, wtf do you all expect.... Isle of Mann?

and since this is my first time, why not more straights and less turns...reduces the chance of me go crash and burn

Just don't point-n-squirt-n-park like the rest of the monkeys... nothing pisses off a good rider more than doing nothing but reeling in yo-yo's all day long.

Have a blast!! Straights or not, it will be a good time.

I was just messing.
ANY track is better than NO track!

^^^ Don't be THAT guy.
When I started track, I used to roll off the throttle on the straights or short shift up to let the faster riders by. Nothing more frustrating than a noob on a YAMAGIX1000000RR with an unpredictable line around the corners that drag races you full throttle on the straights.
That said, concentrate on your own ride. Faster riders will/should get around YOU.

HAVE FUN!

I wanna go to one... but 540 miles is a bit extreme

Prob hard to do often, but if you really wanted to try it. You would. Once you do, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I was about to fly to Utah for a track day at Miller. The org was going to truck the bikes over in a big truck for a fee.

I've driven 350 miles after work on Friday night for a trackday Sat Morning. Where there's a will, there's a way!

I meant to get to one of the Buell sponsored TD's.

Bout 140 miles to the closest track for me.

With all those straights, I hope you got your braking form down. If you don't, your forearms and wrists will be killing you.

You'll have a blast man. Just take things slow and get to know the track before you try to go fast. Learn the flags.
Hit up an instructor and ask him for tips and to show you the best lines around the track. I've done like 20 trackdays and still hit up instructors and try to do atleast a few laps with them. They'll usually follow you for a bit and have you follow them for a bit.
Stay hydrated.
Start saving now cus you'll need all the money you can spare for trackdays.
