[QUOTE="900gc, post: 1242541, member: 28365"] I raced for 8 yrs., done many track days for fun and have logged thousands of miles on the track. Did a track day on my FJR (A group) and had a blast! Only the fastest superbikes passed me (barely) on the straights (of course I could not corner as fast though). A good track day host with good instructors will take care of 'newbies' just fine. By all means, ask them for tips and help, they are more than happy to help! Ride at YOUR pace, give yourself some space around other riders, pull in or even skip a session if you are tired, stay hydrated and snack on high energy food between sessions. The main causes for crashes are tiredness/dehydration, riding over your head and attempting to race/beat/go faster than 'the other guy'. Again, ride at your pace. As the day goes on, you will pick up the pace as you get more familiar with the track and feel for the bike at speed. Tex gear with armor is acceptable for track days, I've worn it when using my street bikes on the track. Full leathers when using my race bike at warp speed of course. Do it, you'll have a blast!
