    precisely, it's damn near impossible to predict the weather more than 48 hours out. Also when you're riding a motorcycle at it's limit on a racetrack with a full leather suit, gloves, boots, helmet, and underarmor, 50-60 degrees sounds like a damn fine temperature to me.

    I went ahead and paid for my full day... but from what I understand, I can still cancel (and get credit) the day before if the weather looks iffy, correct?


    The 50 degree high doesnt bother me... but the 30's in the morning is slightly concerning. But as long as it's not wet, I'll be there.

    Unless its snowing Saturday night I will definitely be there, I think I read this is your first track day? I'm on a Matte Black Kawasaki Zx6r with a green tank and I have blue/white leathers, come say hey and I'll give you some tips, show you some lines if you'd like, or help anyway I can. -Zach

    Zach, you are correct. It will be my first track day. And I'll be on a matte black sv650 with red/white A* leathers. If you wouldn't mind taking a lap or two with me, I'll definitely come find ya for some pointers! Thanks for the offer!

    Does the wind concern anyone else? I know in Parker, it gets so windy the gusts make it uncomfortable to ride... I'd suspect that out on the plains, it would probably be slightly more severe...


    And the forcast is calling for wind Monday AND Tuesday... so I assume it's a sure thing.

    Wind is a sure thing almost every day @ HPR. It is nicknamed High Winds Raceway, you learn to live with it.
