TrackTactics







Woo hoo, that's me with Chris Peris for a two up ride at the TrackTactics trackday.  It was awesome, probably felt faster that it really was but it was still faster that I will probably ever go.  It's a good thing we hauled the tires for TrackTactics because we ended up buying one after Mel ran over a piece of chain link fence.  He almost crashed but managed to hang on, thank goodness.  Now he has a Dunlop GPA, very nice tire.  All in all it was a great day, we got to use one of the garages which is nice cuz you don't have to sit in the hot trailer.  Also we met a very nice couple, Gary and Nancy from Marina Del Rey.  She is a retired racer and quite an inspiration.  Of course, I will never be a racer, a little passed the racer age, but still it's nice to meet women that ride and ride/rode for real.  We will be at the track in Pahrump with TrackXperience on June 3 with my nephews Nick and Lowell.  Probably be hot but it will be fun.

TI2TT

Rode much better this time at Spring Mountain Motor Sports with Take it 2 the Track.  There was an extra addition added to the track which was quite an improvement.  Had a great time and felt like I rode well enough to even be on the track.  Off to Auto Club Speedway tomorrow for a track day with TrackTactics on Saturday, May 12.  There's gonna be some big shots at the track, AMA pro riders: Chris Peris, Jake Zemke and Cory West.  I'm excited!  Got a call today from Brock with TrackTactics, they need some tires hauled to the track.  Not a problem, since were going anyway and I'm going to get a free track day just for doing it.  What a deal!  Mel (hubby) has transformed the extra 2008 CBR1000 that we have into his to track bike.  Changed the pipe to a Danmoto Carbon Fiber GP, changed the tires to Dunlop Q2's, changed the plastics out so as not to wreck the original ones in case of an oops.  Also, changed the front sprocket to -1, added a Z-Bomb (retard eliminator) and RaceTech fork springs.  Supposed to give his 160 hp at rear wheel, guess he's looking to fly.

TrackXperience

Went to the track with TrackXperience on the 25th of March but somehow I never ride fast enough. I have pretty good lines around the track but need to go FASTER cuz I kinda look like a wus. Check out my hubby, he rides fast, drags his knee and all the stuff I don't do. Next track day is in Pahrump again on April 29 and I plan to ride like the wind or at least not a slow breeze. This track day is with Take it to the Track (TI2TT). After that we are off to AutoClub Speedway in Fontana, CA. This is on May 12, with TrackTactics. Good times!

2012

I haven't posted for one whole year. Not a very good blogger but it is a new year and it's time to get ready for all the 2012 track days. My first one is with TrackXperience on March 25 at Spring Mountain in Pahrump. Time to get in shape so I can wear my new Technic leathers. Yeah baby, excited and ready to go.
