    I appreciate the information, gentlemen. I have been thinking about getting into track days as well and all these links are excellent.

    Matt:

    Pretty cool to see someone else getting into track days and possibly racing.

    Do some NEBSA track days and keep us posted on what you think.

    How to race

    As I understand it you have to go faster round a predetermined course several times than a load of other riders.

    Good luck

    Just don't become an ass on the street, as most riders I know that got their racing skills. the whole "look out for me because I am not going to look out for you" or "I'm a better rider, see" attitude. AKA - don't be an ass on the street.
