I hit up RideSmart today at MSR Houston

I did not participate. I joined some people I know from another, local, board here in Houston. Four of us met up on our bikes and headed out to the track. I was on the smallest bike (250), one was on a CBR600RR (new), another on a CBR1000 (new) and another on a ZX10. Needless to say I was seriously underpowered. I get the gas mileage, but I need a bit more top end. Cruising at 80mph is fine, but bumping up to 90-95 is insane. We did it though, there were not many cars out there.

Anyway, we went out there and I found out they did a parade lap. So I decided that I would go and join the group for the parade lap(s). I managed 3 laps and believe it or not, my fellow boarder on the CBR600RR was making me slow down. I was not even going all out. I did brake later, worked on my downshifts while braking, and leaned it at about 1/2 of full lean. Nothing insane, because it was a parade lap, so we had to take it easy. Plus I was running the stock K630 tires, which the track really made feel like junk. Time to upgrade to some Perelli Sport Demons!

Needless to say, those 3 laps were a complete rush. Running around a track is like a crack addiction (not that I would know). I can see how people can get addicted so quickly!

I'd love to. Before I'd attend a CMRA event, I'd do a ridesmart event. Really working on my lines and my technique.

I'd love to come and watch though!

in the dallas area theres MSR Cresson just south of fortworth, and Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur - west of denton.

look up Lone Star Track Days and RideSmart for track day schedules. I want to do some more laps at Eagles Canyon. If you're going out there let me know.
