Anyone use one of these, like Dale Walker's Holeshot Peformance push button shifter? SOmething like that. I'm not a drag racer, I just have size 13 feet and with a boot on it's a real PITA to get my foot under the lever. I'd just as soon not use reverse shift, put an electric shifter on for the...

Anyone who's crashed at a trackday and been hurt at all, what does your insurance have to say about it? I have Kaiser but it's not a group plan, it's an individual plan I buy myself. If I fall off and have a claim, will they drop me? WIll they even cover whatever costs arise, or will they just...

I've heard 2 opinions on warmers. 1 is you keep them on all day and you've only got one heat cycle on the tires for an entire trackday. 2 is no, being at temperature all day long will wear out the glues and resins in the tire much faster, therefore, don't keep them on the warmers all day. Which...

Sorry dude! Didn't mean to leave but the old lady was having a sh_tfit when I told her I would be late cuz I had to stop in Oakland. (That's why I skipped the last session to leave early, we had plans to go to a play at 8.) I figured it wouldn't be hard to hitch a ride with someone going back to...

I'm trying to come up with a useful format for taking notes when I come in from a session. What I've got here is not meant to be filled out religiously, and it's geared more for someone learning a new track, and who hasn't been on a track at all in awhile. Got any thoughts on this? Would you nix...

What's the best solution for painting race bodywork if 1) you want to spend as little as possible, and 2) you don't want it to look like complete dogsh_t? Basically, I'd prefer it to not have blatant runs and drips in the paint, and to have something of a "clearcoat" on it, meaning, I'd like to...

First trackday coming up for me. I used to race about 13 years ago and there was Dunlop D364s and everything else was a piece of sh_t. I've been told that's not really the case anymore. That yeah, 211s are excellent, but they're not head and shoulders better than the competition like they used...

Do you think there will be enough folks driving up from the peninsula so that if I do something really stupid someone will be able to drive my minivan and what's left of my bike back home, or close to it?

Guy went down (I think on a Suzuki) going into a slow, 40-50mph, left hander heading west towards the beach, just after you go through La Honda, just past Pescadero. Looked like it could have been nasty, he was being attended to while still on the ground balled up into the guardrail. He at least...

I fitted an Arata full exhaust and the guys I bought it from had put their own map on the PC I bought from them too. If you go to Dynotjet's site they have a bunch of "off the shelf" maps for your particular bike that you can download. So they have two different maps up there for an Arata full...
