I gotta be honest........MISS the tracks up in the Mid West.........beautiful green land with fast tracks.

Most of the crap here in the southwest (miller not included) is amazingly small and incredible as far as killing bikes in mediocre crashes.

No orgs right now, just getting ready to head back out after 2 or so years.

I've only been to JenningsGP with Tammy. Some ladies days and then the last one was with Florida Sportbikers. Seemed like a really great group of people!

I love Jennings. I hear horror stories of the tracks that also have car road races on them too. I'm still a newbie to it though, but I'll stick with Jennings. Their prices aren't over the top either, like down south.

All but one of my track days have been at Jennings GP. I would like to go to Barber one of these days, but honestly I'm not that interested in going anywhere else. Jennings is close, has great staff and is technical enough for me to keep having fun on for a while yet. Esp since they recently started running it clockwise (backwards). It's like a whole new track and will probably take me years to get used to.

I think one of my favorites has to be VIR. That is such a great track. There are a few bumpy areas, but overall, the pavement is pretty good, there are some good curves and I love that last corner before the front straight. MPH is pretty nice too, I enjoyed that one, but I really enjoy tracks with elevation change. Barber is gorgeous.

Acalliste, you should really go to Barber if you get the chance. I'm looking forward to Blue Grass in Kentucky opening.

I think Lauren wanted to go, so I will probably head up with her, whenever that is. Maybe you could try to make it over too?

Well, it won't be for a few months at least, I'm pretty certain of that. And I don't do summer track days anymore period. Waaaaaaaaaay too fricken hot!

Haha!! Why doesn't that surprise me?

We need to plan another GA trip as well. And I still want to go out to Arkansas and do the trip Denyse had to cancel. I want to go visit my dad anyway, so why not drag the bike and get some riding in too?
