Ducati Monster Forum

Post your track videos here.   [moto]

I know there are a bunch of us on the forum that have attended Keith Code's California Superbike School or have on board videos from track days.

Some, myself included are too lazy to do a write up and include the video there, so here is the place to put it.

This is intended to be a non-threatening place for all (fast, slow, or otherwise) to show off his/her track skills.  Please keep all comments to yourself or in a PM to the poster.

Now lets see those videos!!!  [moto]

Track:  Lightning Track at New Jersey Motorsports Park
School/Track Day Organizer: California Superbike School
Date: August 14, 2008

Note: Track experience prior to attending CSS, NONE. 

nice!  what was the camera mounted on?

ahh... that's relatively new then.  come to think of it i saw the skeleton of that thing last year but they weren't using it.  guess they found a way to not have to run the camera bike  ;)

they call that bike (one in pict) the camera bike.

the bike with the camera mounted up front to follow riders is called the chase bike.

this camera bike didn't exist before and the chase bike was the camera bike, terminologically speaking.

I like the non-comments thread idea (but welcome feedback in my other thread or by PM).   Here's me:

Track:  Virginia International Raceway Sept, 2008
School:  California Superbike School
Prior track exprience:  two days on my own bike last year at same place and same school.  This vid is second day of two-day school, so this is track day number four total for me.

weeeeeeee!   [moto]

Did you have fun?

Hells yeah.   [thumbsup] [moto] [evil]

I didn't want to get off the track at the end of the day. 

I'm under two hours from NJ track versus almost six to VIR, so looks like that's next.

They should be on the Thunderbolt track next year.

Keith said that they (NJMP) were not sure if it was going to be finished in time this year, so they booked CSS on the smaller Lightning track.  I felt it was a great track to learn on the new surface was so smooth, with few distractions (crash marks, etc.).

We are going to try real hard to make back there next summer to ride the other track.  Hopefully, on our bikes this time.   [moto]

Hey DD, were you there any days besides the 14th? I was cornerworking on the 12th for CSS. I haven't ridden since then  [bang]. I'll let you guess why.

Haha!  [laugh] Just saw this. Sorry about that!

gouges in the pavement serve as reference marks.   we should thank you.

(sorry, Man).

those are probably NOT the RPs you want to use... ;)

B and I were there on the 11, 13, and 14.  We took the 12 off, as it was our first time at a track. 

IndustrialGrrrl and 2001Chromo were there on the 12.  I know she was riding bike #26, not sure which bike he was on.

Sorry to hear about your get off.  Hopefully your healing up nicely.   [thumbsup]

Back when I had my Z1000...

Hopin' to get a new one on the 27th on the RS!!

damn.   that's just cool.

 ;D

+1

That is cool  [thumbsup]

I wish I had a trackday coming up.

Or a bike to ride on  ;D

here's 2001cromo and me as DD posted  ;) earlier

Track: Lightning course at New Jersey Motorsports Park
School: Cali Superbike School
Date: Aug 12, 2008

Bike # 22 is 2001cromo.. takes a while before the chase bike catches him:

I'm on bike #26.. I'm easy to catch  ;)  this session is practicing the "hip flick" to move to the opposite side of the bike smooth and quick.

it's very cool the number of people here who either A) race or B) are taking track courses to improve their riding.

Even more so given that we ride bikes that aren't traditional track-focussed sportbikes at all.

cheers, all.    [beer]
