First TrackDay With The New 'Blade

I was registered for both NESBA Trackdays at Carolina Motorsports Park (6/9-6/10). Day one was VERY hot ... too hot for me, in fact! I did two sessions in the morning and only one after lunch. The temperature in the shade was 97 degrees early afternoon. I neglected to check my tire pressure at lunchtime. That oversight along with a hot, slick track caused me to lose my front end exiting Turn 5. I felt it sliding and was able to get the bike upright for a short off-track excursion. I completed that lap and pitted-in. My mind was not right after that 'event' and my body was feeling the effects of the heat. I woke up quite sick Sunday morning and once I arrived at the track, I knew it would be best for me to sit out the day's festivities. I loaded up the trailer and came home to rest. A special thanks to ConqSoft for making the long ride on his ST to help me out on Saturday!

My latest mods to the bike for the trackdays were SS Front Brake Lines, a DynoJet QuickShifter & Ignition Module and Pro-Tek Frame Sliders. The quickshifter proved to be my favorite mod yet ... AWESOME!!
