I finally got out to do a trackday.
My first one was at Thunderhill in Willows CA, on Mon 8/16/10. Two sessions per hour (30 min sessions). I got 7 sessions, that is 3.5 hours and about 186 miles of WOT riding! Awesome day!
My second trackday was at Reno-Fernley-Raceway on Sun 8/22/10. Three sessions per hour (20min sessions). After the 4th session; 80 min and about 72 miles, I noticed a nail in my rear tire. I did not want the tire to come apart on me while doing 150mph. So, I loaded up the truck and I moved to Beverly. LOL! Actually, I checked into a hotel at Circus-Circus, I won >$150 on the craps table.
I carried that nail about 5 trackday hours for about 250 trackday miles. I am glad I noticed the nail before something bad happened! Especially, since the bad could have happeded when I am WOT at 150 mph.
With plenty of tread left on my old BT16's, I can now throw that rear tire into the garbage can. I ordered up a set of Dunlop Q2's for use on both the track and street. I can't wait till they get here!
