A Most Excellent write-up- this should be a sticky  waytogo

The "private" track days are 30 minutes on, 60 minutes off (We shared the track with 2 other groups- open wheel Mazda thingys & some Porsches).
The regular Track Days seem to be 20 on, 40 off.

Jeff's li'l buddy - Derek. Super nice guy, Air Force test pilot, very helpful  waytogo waytogo

Nothin' better than a Track Day  Grin

No camera crew out there. It was a private day so it was pretty much just us out there.

Great write-up  waytogo

Whenever I get back the track again, I need to use your approach of assessing each session at breaks and applying it to the next session. It looks like it paid off.

Are you riding June 7, or 8, or both?
Have you done a Ride Smart day before?

Doing only Saturday June 7th. Did a RS trackday last October. Have you done a RS track day. There's mixed reviews on RS depending who you ask, I personally had a fair/good outing with them the last time.

You interested in going?
