Lauren 1st Track Day

JenningsGP 2/20/2009

Wow!

I decided to do my first track day back in November of 2008. I waited months for the opportunity to do a track day and it was not a disappointment!

It was AWESOME!

I was there with some friends Chris and Traci, John and Krista, Joe and a few other folks from a local riding group here in Central Florida.

I brought my 2008 Kawasaki ZX10R to play.

Jennings GP is known as a 600cc track and my "litre bike" received a few scorns as being too big for the track! The ZX10R, while a 1000cc bike, is as light as a 600cc so the only thing I would have to worry about is the power of the ZX10R.

Not only was it my first track day, but it was a "Novice Track Day" for people who had never ridden on the track. Not so much as in "Novice" to riding, but "Novice" to being on the track. My instructor was a fantastic woman named Jessica, and after each 15minutes session sat us down in a classroom and talked about what we were doing right and wrong. She was AMAZING!!

Here are some images from the day along with a MOVIE of me working the way around the track.

The movie is great, as Jessica was following me. The movie starts with me making a pass on the left side down the front straight, with a guy named Magnus, trying to hold his position on a 2 stroke Aprillia. The movie ends with me catching Krista on her SV650. I'm new to the track, so I didn't know where was a good place to pass Krista, so I hung back for a while before I passed her on turn 10 - 11.

I only used 3rd and a little 4th gear the whole day.

Thanks to Bill for taking these images!!! He's finally getting the hang of using my Camera!

There were a few people taking pictures out there, so I will probably add them to this page as I get them!
