Hey guys, stupid question--May 24th I'm doing Level 1 CSS, this is will be my 1st track day ever. After that, I'd like to ride with this group (within my skill level of course), I saw this on FB. Is this what I need to do to get started?

Hey Jess, sorry I didn't get back to you on Facebook.

I did level 1 with CSS as my first time on the track and that's an excellent way to get started

We all mostly ride with Team Pro-Motion, so that's probably the route you'd wanna go to ride with us.

No prob Bob, it's all good...as far as the link goes, after CSS if I'm gonna hitch up with you guys and Pro Motion...I need to pay that fee before the Dec 31st deadline right?

I just don't wanna screw myself

[nycrider]

Signed up for Level 2 CSS 5/24/13,can't wait.

If you want the $75 track credit, you would want to sign up early. makes sense. As long as you plan on doing at least a few days.

That should take your riding to the next level, Bart

Cool, thanks Bob...I can't wait for this. The only thing that's gonna suck is using my daily ride on the track for awhile..those damn mirror caps kept coming off, which is common on my model so I got pissed and crazy glued it back on..d'oh!

Hopefully I can sign up in Dec right after this Christmas shopping craziness.

This is insane lean angle while spinning the rear!

[Moto_Joe]

where do you get that he is spinning?

[nj01_6]

Oops, meant sliding. Looks like the rear is sliding, no?

[Moto_Joe]

Not particularly to me. Then again at their speed they pretty much are always sliding to some degree

National Challenge Finals (at the GNF) 750 Superbike Expert, I started 14th and finished 5th.

I finished higher than i started in every race that day. But i had shitty grids. I think i went like 14th to 9th, 13th to 7th and then 14th to 5th.

I held 4th for the last 4-5 laps. My pit board said "+0" the entire race and i knew dudes were behind me. In the last lap i went way too hard into T5 (slowest corner/hardest braking on the track) and the rear wheel came up too much, delaying my turn in. It let a guy get up underneath me. I got on his tail and planned on drafting him and making a run at the line but we got into lapped traffic in the last few turns and mess it all up.

I can't commit to it yet, but i would like to. I love me some Jennings and the 30-min LED sessions are great.

[nj01_6]

I hate last lap mistakes.
