Hello all-
I will be doing my first track day on July 1st at VIR. I'm doing the Intro first and if I decide it's for me, I'll sign up for the rest of the day. I've been riding for about 6 years now and have had a thirst for more for quite some time now. I love going to the track and watching my friends get out there, so I couldn't help but want to join in the fun. I thought about drag racing at first, but when I went to my first track day at VIR, I thought "Forget going in a straight line... I want to hit some corners!" We will see how I feel after the Intro... I can't imagine that I would want to quit after that! I have an 06 black, silver, and red GSX-R 1000 that I'll be riding, but if I do like it, I'm debating getting a 600 or 750 track bike. I'm really excited and really nervous all at the same time. Any advice, tips, etc would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to also say hi when you see me there. Can't wait!

Welcome! One piece of advice... You might want to go ahead and sign up for the day because just doing the intro will just make you want to ride the rest of the day. if they sell out, it would be hard to sign up after. just go ahead and take the plunge. You are guaranteed to enjoy it! welcome to the addiction!

Thanks Saltman. That may be a good idea. That's one thing I was worried about... them selling out and then I'd be heartbroken if I wanted to stay the whole day. I'll go ahead and do it!

I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've been even watching YouTube videos to get used to what the track looks like. :eek:
Thanks for the advice!

LadyCC,
Welcome to NESBA and I'm sure you're going to have a blast. This sport is addictive and I can't imagine that you won't want to do the entire day. I'll be there too, so I'll see you there.

Awesome! What bike will you be riding? I may ask you to watch me and give me some pointers if you ride with the B group... I can use all the help I can get!
