Heck yeah. Did my third one this Sunday at Jennings GP with Rae. Even tried different tires on the Aprilia (Pirelli Diablo Corsa III)

Can't wait for the July trip to Barber

10 and counting for me:

Grattan
Gingerman
Mid-Ohio

7 of the 10 were Grattan.. now its resurfaced going to try and get back there a few times this year.. probably hit Gingerman once, Putnam if they have cheap days and thinking about one more like Autobahn or Black Hawk Farms or Beaverun.. if things go right maybe a spring 09 one at Barber... i am interested in trying alot of different tracks..

Did the March 29th Team Chicago at Grattan this year - got up in the morning it was a balmy 18 degrees.. they had to literally chip ice out of turn 1 before session 1.. last session of the day it warmed up to 37 degrees.. it was an ugly trackday because you couldn't go that fast and just made you want a trackday even more like a crackrock to a crackhead who hadn't smoked in 5 days..

I have done a few. BIR, VIR, Pahrump Raceway, and our technical college has a driving course that I have done a few advance rider sessions, not really a track day but kind of.

I have only had my falco out once and it was this past summer. Otherwise, I had an old beat up FZR that was a blast on the track. Now with the Falco, I hate to even risk dumping her...

Maybe I will get another track bike someday... :idk I would love to do more.

You should look into doing one of the racing schools up here then. For about US$1K you could put together a Phase 1 (introductory) and Phase 2 (advanced) school on two consecutive days, using the school's bike, leathers, helmet, gloves, boots, gas..... I've known people who came from as far away as SC to do that and they thought that even including the extra hotel and transportation bills, it was worth it. It's not that far a drive from NJ. You just have to make sure you book in the off-season, because the classes fill up FAST (no pun intended).

Haha thanks.

I actually just realized that the two trackdays I'm doing this coming week are on the 1 year anniversary of when I took my MSF class, which was the first time I ever sat on a motorcycle. Crazy how things have changed since then.
