That track is gonna wear you out on that bike.
I’m surprised they even let 600s on that track.
Make sure everything is ready before you go. Look over your bike to make sure everything works properly and set up to go. Double check oil filter and drain plug tightness. Make sure chain is adjusted properly and lubed. Bring a tire gauge so you can adjust tire pressure before each time you go out. Don’t forget your key and gas.
Look at their rules to see if you have to remove mirrors and tape up lights. Make sure that is all done ahead of time. You don’t want to rush the morning of. A lot happens between gates open and go time. Being prepared will save you a lot of stress you don’t need. Being your first time, everyone there will help you out. Usually everyone is friendly.
Get good rest the night before, eventhough you’ll be nervous.
Try to be ahead of schedule. Arrive early, sign in early, tech early, first one at riders meeting and such. It’s better to be early than running behind.
Now. Relax. It’s just a track day. There’s no trophies and you are not going to break track record.
It’s a long day. Your goal is to have fun and improve your skills. Check your big man testosterone at the door. That guy passed you, so what. You ride your ride. That guy passed you aggressively and dangerously, tell one of your instructors or staff. Shit like that kills a good track day.
Hydrate hydrate hydrate. I know you are not as hot up there as we are down here, but you have to hydrate or your brain won’t think right. This means water or sports drinks. Although you won’t (shouldn’t) be running 100%, your brain will be running 100% concentration and it takes a lot out of you. Bring bananas, power bars and other energy foods. Nothing heavy. You can wolf dinner later as a victory dance.
Most importantly, have fun.
