So tpoppa is a track day all you expected?

Pretty much. Mid Ohio is a fun track with nice technical corners. The RC8R is really good.

Are you twice the street rider you were before doing one? LOL

No. As you can see in the video by the instructor gapping me, I didn't quite have the fast line nailed in all the corners :) Honestly, I was probably carrying just about the same corner speed as on some of the faster sections of a WV or SEO ride. I did manage to break 135mph a few times on the back straight, which is not pushing hard on an RC8R. That bike could have easily broken 150 or 160 on the back straight, but I wasn't taking any chances on hucking it into the grass on turn 7.

I still happen to have the Mid-O Superbike race on my DVR. Now, I can appreciate how just how hard & fast the pros really ride :bow:
