Just wanted to share my experience yesterday. Had a great day! It was hot and sunny, everyone seemed to have a good time!

Day was sold out, and the groups were pretty crowded.
They broke the groups down to Intro school /Intro /Novice /Advanced/Expert- i think because of the day being sold out. The 2 lower groups had 15 minute sessions, everyone else had 20 min sessions. So- a little less track time overall, which was ok with me, considering the heat.

A bunch of people crashed- 1 person every one of my sessions... again, i think due to it being sold out and people getting a little stupid at times. It has never been like that before.

I fought with a bad oil pressure switch, and purely by chance once of the coaches (whom I havent seen since last season) was the service manager for my dealership. He is a great dude, and brought his 996 yesterday. We swapped sensors to troubleshoot, then chased each other around the track. OKOK- it was me chasing him.

At the end of the day he told me he would bump me to advanced if I wanted, but I declined. But it made me feel AWESOME!

Had my 4 month old with us. Made a great day even better

Excellent story.. glad to see the wife and kids involved too !

Should have taken a ride down; haven't visited NJMP in a while.

Track duty must have been murder with the 90+ degree temperatures.

Come play at Pocono on the 30th.

Yeah the temp was rough. I couldn't get gear off fast enough to rehydrate. But it was awesome nonetheless!

Iam going through them on my laptop now! My girl takes a ton of pics, so I sort through and keep what I like.

It helps me see my progression, body position, etc. And makes me feel generally more badass

pics are taken from afar, with a decent lense. But we need to get a lense with more zoom i think

do you intend on spectating the MotoAmerica Race @ NJMP in mid sept?

 

[gunther19820]

I was thinking about doing the trackday the monday following.

Glad to hear that you had an amazing time. Did the track last year and would go back in a heartbeat. Definitely trying to get another TD in before the season is over. Have you been to Pocono?

I have been. I did the East/West course there last year. It was awesome!

I am going back next Sunday to run the FUSA North/South course. With ACE.
Come!

I did the east course earlier this year, had an okay time because I rode the bike there and back, and strained my left hipflexor a few days before. I'm strongly considering coming through, it's either this or the Sept 4th at NJMP

Yeah its a long day if you are riding to/from the track. And pocono is probably 90 minutes from you?

It's 90 miles so 1.5 hours, give or take...okay take

I have a garage rented too. So you can just jump in there too if you like

Appreciate the gesture, you are a good man. Unfortunately, I have soccer playoffs on Sunday 30th and won't be able to handle both. I'm going to try on the 4th and considering going to NJMP for supermoto championship

 

[gunther19820]

no worries. Next time!

That venue looks amazing. We never get grass here. And the willow springs version of gravel is actually grapefruit sized rocks.. I would pay extra to crash in grass

 

[gunther19820]

This guy agrees with you:

 

[gunther19820]

The corner where he loses it is the corner in the second to last pic I posted (the pic of all the traffic)
It seems as though he was ok. And I'm sure the grass helped him!
