I'm typically as laid back as it gets on my track days. My friggin schedule during the work week is so structured, that when I do a track day it truly IS a vacation for me. So I'm just short of "feet up sippin a Mai Tai" at the track

I appreciate that! Sounds good. Though I'm a friggin boyscout when it comes to overpacking. I typically take EVERYTHING including a coffee maker

Sad when all I ride is a motard and I pack a 5x10 enclosed AND an exploder slap full for ONE day


4/27 is a wednesday.....right?

I hear ya, I'm the same way. I have enough stress during the week and don't need to bring it to play time!

Then you'll fit right in! We usually bring food for breakfast and lunch, a coffee machine, a crock pot for cooking chili, enough tools to fix tools... we have an 8.5x20 trailer so you'd be hard pressed to overfill it.

No worries....most of MY buddies show up with a bike and leathers and sponge

This is why I bring everything


What's your usual top speed on Shenandoah? Right now I'm geared for a top speed of about 105. And I can get there JUST slightly slower than a 600

Patriot I never got over 90

I do bring as much as humanly possible and if could justify a good sized tow vehicle would have a nice enclosed trailer too

100 should be more than enough for shenny I think theres one or 2 short straights and thats about it, def a good track for the tards

There's only one short straight I see anything over 100, and if I hit 130's there it takes everything I have to make T1 (off-camber, 180 degree lefty).

The rest of the course if 30-90mph all day.

Well it's good to know you'll at least have ONE shot at catching me every lap then

Do you have special gearing for that track? It seems like on the big bikes you could run the whole track in 1st gear.

Sounds fun.

Nope, my bike is still bone-stock. I could run 80% of the track in first gear easy, hitting 2nd and 3rd briefly on the few straight sections. But I prefer to use 2nd for a lot of it, just a smoother way to get around.

That track is the only course I've ever run where 600's have an advantage over a liter bike. It's a totally different experience than a VIR or RA... just silly fun.
