if it is your first time yeah you can spend up to 1500, if you have already set your bike up for the track much much much cheaper.

 

What are you guys taking about...$1500?? Maybe if you dont have your gear! Its only $169 a day at VIR. It all depends on the membership you have... www.teampromotion.com

 

that is why we were talking about first time ever. Especially if you have to saftey wire, switch fluids blah blah blah

 

Ok, with Team Pro-Mo you dont have to have anything safety wired but yes you do need engine ice, water wetter etc.

 

So I have to go with some team or club to race?

 

We conduct track day events and track school... we also do race events dubbed GP racing. Check our website www.teampromotion.com

 

racing and track days are two very different animals. yeah, you need all sorts of stuff (including membership in whatever organization) to race. for track days it's ALOT more relaxed.

 

I'd love to hit up the track for a while. I think I'd get a lot better at leaning and not being so scared of the bike slidding out from under me.

Too bad my bike would probably never be allowed out there.

 

Yeah I did my first day with TPM, don't forget tires and gear and things like that.

 

you'd be surprised. alot of ametuer race bikes aren't the prettiest things out there. i took my old 7/12 streetfighter to VIR and it passed tech with no issues, though they did kinda look at me funny, saying "wtf is it?".

they stopped the joking when i blew past a bunch of people on coming into turn one on my "funny looking bike", lol

power to weight FTW! kick ass brakes help too
