Default Completed Track Orientation School

Well as the title says I complete the track orientation school on Saturday at MAM outside of Omaha. It was a blast, and I thinking of heading back in August before school starts back up. I ended up doing 4 or 5 20 minute session and put about 100 miles of track time on the saddle. Also I got a small scrape on the puck, really had to see in pictures, but I know it wasnt there before I went out to my last session.
I highly recommend the school to anyone that wants to get into track riding. In short Im addicted like I thought was going to happen, and now I dont know about riding on the street, it just doesnt seem as safe with the dirt/gravel and other drivers.

Anyway I have a couple pics...





And this last one is a bit blurry.

Congrat's on your new addiction!

I've raced at MAM before, it's a kinda fun track (all though one of my freind's that went out there with me last season almost died there). You should make the trip to Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas - I really like that track, it's alot of fun (even though it's not one of the safest ones at race speed due to some concrete walls not too far away from the racing surface in a few places).

Take your time getting up to speed and don't get too throttle happy too soon! Best of luck!
