After many months of planning, a big group from CharlotteSportBikes.com and CarolinaSportBikes.com finally had our track day at CMP this past weekend. It was a big day as Nick, Jesse, and I all got our knees down for the first time at the track. We all anticipated this track day for so long and the payoff was better than I could have ever expected. No one wrecked or got hurt and we all had an awesome time. I can’t wait for the next one folks!
Thanks to Perry for all of the garage planning and Fran for snacks and to Claudia for helping with sandwiches too. We had a lot of great creature comforts out at the track. Thanks to our crew chief Chris for keeping things running smoothly despite me being a bad driver / rider and always parking on the wrong side of the garage. Thanks to Kendrick Kirk with DviantImage.com for hooking us up with a great deal on photos. I’ll definitely have to post up the professional photos when I get them. Kendrick said he got a pic of my first knee down!
This is just a proof. I can’t wait to get the rest from Kendrick!
The caravan down in the pouring rain was a little daunting but then the weather was awesome for rest of the day. It was a little overcast but that kept the heat down. We had a few sprinkles in the last few laps of the last session but otherwise, no rain. Thanks to my caravan crew of Nick and Golf for the team work to get our bikes down there. Golf learned what a "dirt ball" was as all three of us were definite dirt balls at the end of the day.
Back row: NIck, Jesse, Chris, Golf, James, Perry, Fran, Claudia, Lee, Jason
Front row: Rebecca, Dwayne, me, Nick
Thanks to Claudia for this super cool pic of me about to go out on the track.
This is right after my first knee down on the track in the third session. After that, I got my knee down on both sides in the rest of the sessions for the day.
Thanks to Chris for this cool pic of me. It’s very tiny but if you look closely, you might be able to see my knee down.
