It was a damn good time, even considering the things that happened and the weather. By the time we got there, the garage seemed already packed so we setup up right outside with a canopy. ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4216.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4216.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4215.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4215.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4219.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4219.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4220.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4220.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4226.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4226.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4235.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4235.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4242.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4242.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4245.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/IMG_4245.jpg) ---

It was fun, thats for sure. The last run I did was a bit iffy; As long as track is not ponding, tracking the bike in rain is not terrible. Obviously, everyone would prefer a dry track. At least what I got from that track day is I feel much better riding in the rain if I need to. We did ended up getting two 98% dry sessions, and 2 or 3 damp sessions with a bit of a dry line. ---

As you can see the video is posted in the wrong format even. I’ve got to do a little bit of editing, get the high res version on there, get other vids on there and I’ll get the updates for you guys soon! ---

Both brand new on the Gsxr, and rear brand new on the SV, which was a big part of the problem. I got to break in the tires on the Gsxr in the dry on the track, which was hairy enough. On the SV however I’ve had to scrub them in the wet, which was a whole new experience for me with obvious results. The rear was just not sticking as the video will show and was edging out of me on many corners so I took it easy. It still baffles me at what caused me to low side the SV. I wasn’t even in the turn, I was approaching it at a speed twice as slow as I’ve been doing all day. No puddles, before the pavement junction, nearly straight up, just boom - wall :wow [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tonystrackdays-pics/245656.md?page=2)
