My first track experience (in cars) was at Bridgehampton. I miss it... it's a golf course now.

I'll never forget riding with the instructor and hitting Turn 1 at speed for the first time. Holy crap.... THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE????

I did this in the mid-90s, when Dodge was trying to promote the Neon as a club racing car. I was following a guy who had just bought one and prepped it. He was clearly pushing too hard, locking the brakes multiple times down through the low section of the track. As we came up the hill onto the front straight he lost it spectacularly... I went by him while he was airborne, upside down...... Fortunately he was okay, but the car, well......

I used to have an EX500, too, before I got my Ninjette.

Lots of new tracks since you quit. Thompson is fun... tight, point-and-shoot. NYST is terrific. Palmer is FREAKING AWESOME. Come on out!
