Buttonwillow Track Day
I went to Buttonwillow Raceway for the first time yesterday, my second track day overall. It's a much faster track than Streets of Willow Springs and took a little getting used to, but once in the groove I really started to feel good out there. Except for the part where I went off a turn and into the mud (that's what happens when you don't concentrate out on the track). Otherwise I was hitting corners well and staying low.
One thing that always surprises me is when people show up on really fast bikes but ride so slowly. I was running circles around the many R1s in my group, which was the slowest of the three groups. ¶ 4:35 PM
