Those are great gloves, but cost too much for me.

Chaz, if you are spending that much on gloves, also take a look at Heroic’s SP-R Gloves and support a USA/NY company.

Actually it looks like it’s going to be my only track day this year. I may end up going to one more in October, but that’s it.

Yeah. Finishing this R6 cost more than I expected. Then after acquiring all the track gear, and getting tires for the 300, there really isn’t much room to cough up $200 for each track day + trailer rental. I have other things I am doing this summer so $400 worth of track days + Trailer is the most I can possibly see myself doing this year.

So I’m wanting to do 1 at the beginning of the year, and 1 at the end.

Already planning on getting a 2nd job at the end of the season and work all next winter to better prepare myself for 2014.
