1) What do you fear about running a new track like Eagles Canyon?

Getting confused about what corner I'm at or what line I should be taking, especially on one of the many double apex corners where running the wrong line on one can really screw you for the 2nd.


2) What do you look forward to the most about running a new track like Eagles Canyon?


The challenge of learning something new, and seeing the improvement in corner speeds as I get to know the track better and increase my confidence.


3) If you've never been to a track day, what is is that is preventing you from going? If you have been, what is it that draws you back and keeps you going?

I like being able to push myself and my machine, and ride it the way it was intended, without having to worry about other cars on the road, dirt or water, speeding tickets, etc. Plus, it's just nice to be able to hang out there between sessions with our group.

sneaky corners all the other unknowns

Nice fresh track that hasn't been beat down to much by the cages

3) If you've never been to a track day, what is is that is preventing you from going? If you have been, what is it that draws you back and keeps you going?
Only been once, and the reason I'm going back is it was just to much fun to ride without all the added distractions of street riding and really work on specific issues.

1) I can't say I fear the new track but I definitely will take time to learn it before opening up on it (I hear those blind turns and elevation changes can be tricky). I hope the surface is ready for the bikes and that my suspension set up at Eagles Canyon is a good on for my bike on this track.

2) I look forward to learning how to turn efficiently at speed in those double apex turns, this is a weak spot for me right now. I am looking forward to the challenge of not knowing what to expect.

3) The people keep me coming back, I have never met a "jerk" at the track. Everyone there is there for the same thing: to have fun and get some experience under the belt. I also love riding my sport bike in its intended environment, I spend alot of money on my bike and I love that I get to get every penny out of it at the track. Riding on the street for me is a waste of my bike. My 2 cents tho.

1) What do you fear about running a new track like Eagles Canyon? Turn 3, It is blind, blind you have to get on the brakes before you get to the top of the hill! Right that down! Ok Then remember that then.
2) What do you look forward to the most about running a new track like Eagles Canyon? Double apex turns the two long rights on the brakes at lean angle! Hell yea!!!
3) If you've never been to a track day, what is is that is preventing you from going? If you have been, what is it that draws you back and keeps you going? The thrill of the speed, no cops, no caged automobiles, friends helping you go faster and learning things at the track that could save your life! It has saved mine! I wish I could have started this when I was 5 years old!
