Here's one from June at BeaveRun (just north of Pittsburgh):
 

[Daniel Kalal]

That's me, bringing up the rear (and going down).  This was at an American Supercamp event (that's Danny Walker looking on in alarm)--the guest instructors that weekend were Nicky and Tommy Hayden.

[Mr Sunshine]

One of many.  This is Miller.

Great photos everyone!

BeaveRun in September of 2006



Getting a little one-on-one with Doug Polen (sorry, I had to put this one in   )

Very cool!

Can't get to the web pics from work, I'll have to attach one.

Nice toe slider sparks into Thunder Alley at Mid-Ohio, but bad form.


But who doesn't love a VFR trackbike?

Ahhhh...another chance to be a pic thread ho!

On my 748...

[atypical1]

And on the Multi. This is right before I went down (thus my new paint job!)

[R Doug]

When you say right before, do you mean like minutes, seconds, or fraction of seconds?  It's a good shot of the Multi.... Ohlins

Minutes. Well, under two minutes. It was on the next lap that I went down.

I don't have any track day pictures.... yet.

Summer of '06 at Pacific Raceways

[Liquidsilver]

Brand new tires when we got to Barber... and it was chilly, so I donned the fahionable winter-track wear, and toured around a bit.
 

 
Such a pretty place.
 

 
 
My buddy on his LE and me on my red one, took turns at lead dog.

Traffic Jam.

 

 
Welp, that's it for asphalt tracks until next season.

(Last weekend was perfect weather to take LiquidJr to the MX track)
 

 

 
Once I disconnected the GPS and enduro gear, my little woods bike handled the messy MX track very well!  
 

[Liquidsilver]

This was home for a couple of beautiful Alabama fall days.

 
 
Hey, I got new leathers!

 
 
Guess who came over to hang out?

George Barber came out and was asking us how we liked the track, the facility... and wishing us well. Too bad it looks like I had to go to the bathroom.
 
 

[Liquidsilver]

This one last fall was really COLDDDD in the morning.
 

 

 
Mom took all the pictures, and the kids all wanted rides to the latrine.
 

 

 
Way more help than I'm used to, at the Liquid EZup.

[tumbler]

Me and the strom at Putnam.
 
After realizing the strom isn't the best choice for the track and I got spouse permission I picked this up for a track bike. Me at gingerman (not my favorite track.)

Turn 9?  And who took that photo?

[Windblown]

Track newbie this year for me.  I had a bunch lot of fun.
My two fav pics...
 

[Dcnblues]

Bottom of the carousel, Sears Point.

[ChrisZRX]

Me at Midohio, July '02.
 

[VIVID1]

That's why they call me the vivid one too bad I can't drag a knee
 

 

 

 

[3banger]

Anyone can drag a knee if they hang way off monkey style.
 

[R Doug]

I just recieved the hi-res version of this image today in e-mail...

Here's Turn 4 at V.I.R. this past September on my track-only F4i.  Did I mention this bike is for sale????    

[DogBoy]

Its been a while since I raced.

[geezer]In my day, we didn't have no fancy digital cameras or compact discs. We had to trade pelts to the local shaman and he painted images on his cave wall.[/geezer]

[Gaolee]

OOOWEEEE!  Photo 'ho!

The boom, rattle, rattle bike before it went boom, rattle, rattle.  Passing Gixxers on a TT600 eventually turns out to be a bad idea.

Proof that the bike has a lot more left in it than I do.

Always around the outside- big ol' Hondas are no match for a finely honed scalpel wielded by a total hack.

Kinda gotta reset this kind of thing before going back on the road!  The plod don't know about top speed and lap timers do they?

[Stargzrgrl]

Meh, I need to learn how to lean:

This was home for a couple of beautiful Alabama fall days.

 

Dooooood.... those bikes.....

From my first track day...California Superbike School in May of this year at Barber.  







And applying the above lessons on my own bike...

At Summit Jefferson:

[R Doug]

Nice shot hovmaven!

The Jefferson circuit is blast and a little less scary than the other two for a bike.

[Hoss]

Did I mention this bike is for sale????

Bah, yeah I know   Someday...oh yes someday


Hope to add my own pictures to this in the spring. Great shots all!

[hovmaven]

Nice shot hovmaven!

Thanks.  You certainly pull a slower top speed on Jefferson than Main (and NESBA won't run Shenandoah), but I find Jefferson a bit slippery.  But it's only an hour away, so I can't complain.  

I remember your neighborhood dance with the devil last fall.  Do you have that Daytona up and running?

[R Doug]

Yes sir, the Daytona is fully operational.  I put ~200 miles on her last Sunday.

Maybe we'll see each other at Summit sometime in 2007.  I need to do some track days there.  What's the best way to do a track day at the Point (NESBA?  Team Promotion?).

Thanks in advance.

[hovmaven]

Sorry to jack the thread even more, but I like NESBA.  

I can't speak to Team Promotion -- never done a day with them.    

[Mookie]

 Can't do a direct link to the img's, but here are a few from my last track day of the season

At Summit Jefferson:

Wasn't that the day you played speed bump?  

[hovmaven]

Bastage.  You remembered.  

 

Move me about two feet over in the below pic and put a CR right behind me.  I caught the strip at full lean -- he didn't stop.   Surprisingly, it didn't hurt.    Well, at least not until the next day.
