The monster is ready to go - I've got all my gear - first time on the track (and a little bit nervous)

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I have some nervous excitment every time I go, and I suspect most people do.  It seems to go away after the first lap, and then it's nothing but fun.

I'm nervous for every trackday, and I've done more than a few by now.  Recognize it as your brain kickin' in and take it easy until the butterflies go away a little bit.  You're going to have a lot of fun and learn tons.   waytogo

after many many track days i still get nervous, can't sleep, can't tolerate sitting through the rider's meeting, etc..  and fortunately it all seems to go away the moment i get out there.

I have a terrible tendency of waking up at 3:30 in the morning all ready to go.  Not good especially when you need all your rest.  And I'm definitely not a morning person!

Being nervous is good.  It'll help keep you in line.  Too nervous is another thing.

Minor threadjack:

If anyone's looking for some more reading along this line I would suggest Mind Gym by Gary Mack.  Great book, many, many ways to apply it to riding.

Have fun out there  [moto]

Hope your track day went well!  I'm driving down to MMP tomorrow for Ienatsch's Yamaha school and have my own nervous excitement thing going on tonight.
