    VIR July 28th

    Well this was my 2nd track day at VIR, the 1st being the ART class with TPM. Wow what a day, they combined the white and red group, so I had plenty of track time (my legs are still killing me). Drove down sun afternoon and stayed in the rooms above the garages (which were full of ZO6 corvettes, testing tires on Sunday). The day started off shaky, still trying to remember the previous instruction, the racing line, proper form, etc...but by the 3rd session I found my groove.
    I finally got a knee down, and it really startled me. Once I got used to the feeling I was draggin a knee the rest of the day!! I really felt comfortable during the later sessions and felt like I was smoothing out and picking up speed, actually passed a few people..
    This is very addicting and if I didn't have to go overseas so much I can definitely see me becoming a track whore.
    Hopefully I can sneak in a cornerspeed class before my next deployment.

    My dad decided to tag along to see what a track day was like, he also brought the camcorder

    Thanks badguy,
    Since I really dont remember all the turn numbers theres really no need for a play by play..

    The tops of my legs are saying the bike is too big Stick out tongue slinging it back and forth all day put a hurting on me.

    Not a problem man we can get it done just let me know and we can work sumthing out aight. Man i was watching the vid again this morn and u can tell when u started to get comfy and started going faster too. Once again u doing great keep it up. dont worry about the bike being too big, u just got to get in track shape thats all. Your body will get used to it sooner than u think, do lots of stretching, isometrics, cardio o and learn how to breath you`d be surprised what breathing techniques can do for u.

    I`ll fill u in on all that later aight just hit me up when u get a chance.
