Evil Ductator:

Do you think doing a one-day (Level One) for your first visit was a better choice than doing the two-day (L 1 & 2)?  I'm inclined to do the same thing you did, and then go back later for a 2-day, maybe for levels 2 & 3.  My thought was doing two days the first time out might be a bit much.  Any opinion on that?

Personally for me, the 2-day would definitely have been too much.  For one, I've never done a track day before, and a lot of the methodology they taught me is fundamentals that need practice and repetition.  I think doing two levels in a row would be a lot to absorb in two days.  Now, if you've done a lot of track days and have been riding a long time (I have only 5 years under my belt) then it might not be too much.

Also, I was physically exhausted after the day.  Granted, I'm not in the best physical shape these days as I work in front of a damn computer all day.  But if you're in better shape this would be less of an issue.  I was very sore the next day, and can't imagine having done another whole day of track riding.  Again, YMMV.

Hope this helps!
