Re: First track day of the season
When you decide to run your SMB on the track let me know. I'll come over and watch.

I actually hold the unofficial track record for a Chrysler Town and Country. It was a real hoot to drive.

Re: First track day of the season
Wow. Didn't know anyone else was a road track person, seems everyone here is offroad oriented.
I’m camping in my SMB at Laguna Seca March 30, 31 for a Mazda weekend there. I tow a street legal Miata to use on the track; I had a spec miata but sold it.
There are going to be some fun track days coming up at Infineon and Thunderhill here in NorCal; anyone attending events there?

There are track and training days for motorcycles as well. A friend runs Ducati Superbike and is planning on attending one.

Re: First track day of the season
If you've got track experience Trackmasters is doing two motorcycle/car days at Laguna at the end of March; http://trackmasters-racing.com/.
If you're a newbie, then I'd suggest their Thunderhill event in April (they also do Infineon, but I wouldn't do that as my first track experience). Thunderhill is also cheaper. And there's lotsa SMB type roads nearby in the Mendocino Nat'l Forest (and it's a super pretty and relatively empty corner of CA that time of year: flowers, vernal pools, fishing, all levels of offroading, rivers).

If you are in Oregon or Washington the MotoFit Group puts on multiple track days at ORP for novice to expert riders.

Re: First track day of the season
I was out on cali/AZ for 2 weeks. Got to ride Fontana with fastrack riders on my bmw s1000rr (race only).. it was a blast. Laguna is on my bucket list for sure... I've been roadracing since 05...like Marco said, "you live more in 5min going fast on a motorcycle than most do in their entire lives."
