Silver, my buds and I are planning to book out from Toledo in November for the end of the season trackday with takeit2thetrack. Will you be attending that one? 2 of them went out last year and said the track was smooth as glass! I'm not sure yet. I will be going to their May event for the weekend. The January event was nice. I had a great time except for my crash on Sunday. Here are some photos. (www.bettyandjohn.com/pahrump) Here's a video I put together of the crash. (http://media.putfile.com/Crash--Pahrump) The Nov. event runs on a different section of the track. I think that section was brand new last year. So I can understand why it would be so smooth. The main section run in January & again in May does have some spots to avoid, I think because they run cars there a lot, there are a few corners you need to go wide or go near the candystripe to avoid rough pavement. Great track though & a great time. The track is nice. I just this week finished putting my bike back together & I'm going to Buttonwillow tomorrow. Hopefully the rain holds off!

that track does look smooth! grattan where we usually go i think has more asphalt patches than original asphalt! the video was awesome up until the crash. looked like front end tucked on ya?

the video was awesome up until the crash. looked like front end tucked on ya? Thanks. All & all it was a fun weekend. First crash, I figured it was bound to happen eventually. Front end tucked due to compounding mistakes. Going too fast, stuck in a last minute downshift out of habit which caused rear instability & I was probably trail braking too much when I pushed on the bars.

HA it took me by surpise... I saw the pics and couldn't tell which turn it was, but figured it was turn one... Simply because so many people crash out in either turn 1 or 2 at pahrump. So i see you coming down to six figuring the next time through turn one would be the crash time, and I'm totally impressed that you're taking turn 6 so damn fast. I can usually take it on the rev limiter in 2nd on my 600 which is about 75-80ish dunno cause i don't pay attention to the speedo, but thats about 90% of my pace. If I'm really pushing the limit I can take it in 3rd but you don't scrub off enough speed and end up having to brake like a mofo... plus its scary as hell. But to do that I gotta take a way inside line and run wide coming out of it. Its not a defensive line, but its pretty fast :) Anyways, I see you comin into it at like 90 and i'm like NIIIIIICE. You totally looked like you had it too, probably just a bit too much input into the bike. Not to mention you came into it on the outside of another rider. I bet that scared the crap outta him :) Glad you weren't hurt, and keep on riding bud.
