Tire Selection for First Track Day

[rk97]

virtually perfect. The Sunday I rode with NESBA was 70 and sunny (but breezy), and this past weekend with WERA was probably a little warmer, and a little overcast the second day.

I was running 29/28 cold pressures, so I may have had them a little low and chewed through the tires faster than normal.

So when is your first 'A' day??

I'm trying to figure that out. I'm in two weddings this summer, and taking 3 classes... Maybe not until August, and likely on a track I've never seen before.

Trial by fire to say the least :wow:

You did a great job out there and deserved the bump Chris!

I will be going to Blackhawk Farms this Sunday. I have ridden sportbikes on the street for the past few years. I have some track experience, but only in cars. I am probably a little more aggressive rider for a beginner but I plan to take it easy for first time on a track with a bike.

Best advice I can give you is to go out there humble, don't be afraid to ask for advice.... the cr's are good people.
