yeah, I was literally at 12 oclock. Puked coolant all over my boot, and got a warning from the race director. "Stop showboating and wheelies." hahaha, like I really intended that to happen.

That's awesome. I can't wait to get back on the track. Luckily for me, my wife is very supportive of my habit.

What does it cost to go to a track? Do they have staff that helps out or is it self serve, like a car wash....Sorry for the Noobie questions but I have never seen how it works, I'm too busy crossing creeks and riding on trails.

It costs me $15 to run all night. They have staff that preps the track, sets the tree the way you request it, and makes sure nobody is on the track that isn't supposed to be.

It really is. It's the safest place to go fast.

You go boy! I think you did great! I've never been to a track before, so I'm no know it all on any of this, but I think I read somewhere our bikes stock can hit the quarter in 11.01 or something like that. I'm sure that's if everything goes perfect. So, I see your time and compare it, looks great to me!

I actually managed to keep the front wheel down during those runs.
