You certainly won't be alone. C'mon out and join the fun!
Come on out and join us! I did my first track day in 2008 at age 53, and am a full-fledged track addict now. My experience is that everyone was welcoming and supportive, and continues to be despite my near-flat learning curve. And I'm havng more fun at this than I ever had on the street.
There are a number of us old farts(joking - call us older folks) out here. You won't be alone, and you will be welcomed. Bring a willingness to learn, your basic friendliness, and prepare to enjoy yourself. In fact, I'll be at pretty much all the MW days starting May 1, and you are welcome to pit with/next to me. In any case, find bike #83 and say hi.
See you out there. Or better yet, come to the Bash at the end of January and meet us in a totally social setting.

It's a sticky in the Midwest Forum.
Coming in 16 days (January 30!)
BTW: I lived in C-U from 1973-1982. Nice place!

Another "mature" person
I will be 50 this year and I weight 200lb and I also encourage you to join the fun. I have done more track days than my skill level shows (little or no learning curve
) but I am having a heck of a time nonetheless! Hope to see you at a track later this year!

I've been on tracks, Putnam most recently for Kenny Baker's track day. and really enjoy it. All you guys are little...I'm a bit over 6'4" and 290!
Getting a bit winter weary and looking forward to better weather. Thinking about heading to TX and riding in the Hill Country just to get a fix!

Come on out and we'll compare AARP cards. I started when I was 56 and just got bumped to 
last season at 59. I weight just at 200 lbs. but am currently on a diet and work out routine to get ready for this season since I put on 20 lbs. or so this fall recovering from post crash surgery.
I can see myself doing this for years to come!
