I'm not really a fan of our track days. The courses are trashed, for $180 I expect more.

You will have a great time and learn a ton of things about the bike and yourself. Whatever you do go at YOUR pace, that will keep you well out of trouble. The only tip that I would give a new track rider is HAVE FUN!!!!

Cleopatra
02-16-2008, 05:49 PM
Woohoo! best day ever! There weren't many of us so they did it in 2 sessions of 30 minutes instead of the usual 20 min sessions. I had a blast!!

Congrats on the first day and keeping the bike rubber side down... but i gotta ask, why did you opt for the no passing vest lol?

R SIC
02-17-2008, 06:12 PM
she was so fast no one could pass her anyways

SAK

all i have to say is...


http://www.devil-riders.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=801&d=1203273161

i knew she would be hapier with a zuk

Cleopatra
02-17-2008, 08:16 PM
LOL!!!!! I just felt a little better wearing the vest. But a few passed me in corners anyways. Next time I won't have to wear it since I did learn A LOT about my lines and really getting the hang of leaning over pretty good! I picked up quite a bit of speed towards the end of the day too. It was worth every penny!

jerry, the reason for her wearing the no passing vest is easily explained by sak below...

its something to do with the zuk that makes you inherently slower, lol...

clear as day and I didnt even see it. Must have been the combination of Zuk leathers and a Kawi that caused this. One of them would make one slow, but both? you would be better off on a pedal bike lol

hey jerry,do you use race tires for street riding?

Blue Devil
02-18-2008, 05:22 PM
I run the Pilot Races (medium compound F/R) on the street as well as the track. I have a second set of wheels for slicks that I will run once I feel I need to. I know Wes (az05R6) runs DOT races on the street as well. He runs the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's on the street and the track. Cold mornings they suck due to them being so cold and not heating like street tires, but the only other downside is wear life. They dont heat cycle at all because street riding doesn't generate as much friction. I love them honestly. Just got a new rear yesterday and getting a new front this week.

az 05 r6
02-18-2008, 08:26 PM
oh yea go perilli! i <3 ny tires lol, i dun have any problems with mine heating up, i just add a little more tire pressure since they dont get super heated like they do at the track... that reminds me i need to get some new ones

SAK
02-19-2008, 07:10 AM
whats the life on em

az 05 r6
02-19-2008, 07:13 AM
i got like 2.5 k on em now so no complaints for a dot race tire

SAK
02-19-2008, 07:14 AM
damn.

Aaron3XH
02-19-2008, 08:00 AM
I'm riding my SuperCorsas (DOT) on the street they are actually the SC ones, but yeah they are all good, I used for the one track day at Arroyo, and I figure I should get at least another 1K out of em! Thanks a bunch Kelly (Phantom).

C-Bass
02-19-2008, 08:19 AM
Just Be Careful W/ Running Those Race Tires On The Street,the Heat Cycles Will Make Them Shity. The Pilot Races Get Really Bad After A Few Heat Cycles,the Front Tires Likes To Go Away.

SAK
02-19-2008, 08:21 AM
eh ill stick to my pp's for now i guess i want more than 2.5 k

RICH22
02-19-2008, 08:48 AM
yeah i dont ride the track so my tires are a good 5-8k

easy money
02-19-2008, 10:27 AM
PP are the only tire that I have tried that I need to replace before any signs of heat cycles. Corsa slicks on the other hand........Tire warmers are a must!!
