First Track Day 7/16 Novice, Mid Ohio Video, Pics, Etc.

Had my first track day 7/16 in the Novice group. Had 1 close call where I went off the track slightly after turn 15, I cut in too early and got on the throttle causing me to go wide slightly, onto the yellow curb and into the grass after it a bit, but recovered (tried not to panic on the brakes or handlebars and let the bike do its thing). Other than that had tons of fun and I'm hoping to get a bike to dedicate to track days and either a pickup, cargo van, or trailer for transportation.

 

After having done this with my 919, I'm thinking an SV650 isn't going to have enough power, it's got ~60% of what my 919 has, and my 919 feels slow on the straights to me so I'm thinking either a 600 or 750.

 

I'm sure tons of you could ream me for how bad my body positioning, etc is in the videos and pics, but it was my first Novice, I think I did alright, but definitely tons to learn.

 

I rode down with Brad who ran in advanced and got 2 PR lap times breaking into the 1:38's. We also used R1 Dave's trailer he kept down there since he had his first race today (Wednesday), big thanks to them for the ride, help and trailer/canopy use.

That was my trailer but my name isn't Dave. It's all good though. Glad you had a good time. When's your next one? :)

Lol, my mistake, is it John then? If not, i give up. It'd be nice to do another in August, but I doubt I'll have another bike by then unless i find a good deal on something for 2000-2500. More than likely I'll be waiting till next season.
