aim straight and make sure you stop ! 145-0 QUICKLY can be very scary dont jump on the break. Ive seen guys drive right through the fence. And watch the Track transition usually after the lights the track goes concrete and begins to lose the groves you hit that at 145 hold on for a wild tank slapper. Dont go balls out the first run learn the track drive normal quickly then step up into it. And the track REQUIRES.... LEATHER JACKET, JEANS, BOOTS, GLOVES, FULL FACE HELMET. Leave your pressure at riding pressure. You can do a small burn out but if you ride it there they should be warm enough just burn a lil flat spot in the tire get a lil grip after you learn the track and what you can handle.

Thanks guys, unfortunately I didn't get to see the last few replys about the jacket/boots etc. and Phil came down in sneakers and a vinyl jacket. They booted him, but someone let him use their leather jacket.THANKS!! And I let him wear my driving shoes which they let him slide with.
I think he ran abest of 11.58 and he is HOOKED! Oh, and he ran a Honda Blackwing, nnot his Bandit
