Jennings was built by a rich guy that wanted a place for motorcycles to play.

It isn't fancy but it's bikes only. Cars tear tracks up quickly. Trackdays are cheap and plentiful.

They average almost 15 days a month with the track in use.

Glad you had such a great day back!! I haven't ridden on the track in so long, I'm almost embarrassed to say. I'd almost rather have my re-introduction at a track day without people I know there just so I'm not further embarrassed.

Those 2 pics look great!

I guess, if I had my own track I would let both play on, milk that son of a bitch dry.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, I am already planning my next day back.

Is that sarcasm Shmike? And yeah, thats 11, getting ready to hit WOT for 12 (makes me giddy just thinking bout it!).

During the week if you can get in I think its only $105. Its a good time tho, once you get to know some of the people that run it, its a blast. You never know what you'll get yelled at for and more often than not its a good thing! I fully admit, Dan is scary but I love him to death!

My comment about your lean angle? NO, not at all.

That is a serious amount of lean, especially for that turn.

The sooner you get the bike upright, the sooner you can be at WOT.

I looked for a pic of me there for reference but all the lefts I have are of T5 & 6.

Wow, thank you! T11 is the one I got a lil squirrelly in possibly due to not having enough tire down but I throttled out of it successfully. Just one more thing to work on! We'll def have to meet out there sometime.
