Thats got to feel good.

Hope I have the nads to pull that off when the time comes.

I take it you were not running stock tires.

You are right, weren't the Dunlops, were the Michelin Pilot Road 2 lol:), did that with touring tires, and never a dull moment. Had 30/32 psi front/rear to get a bigger contact patch and more heat into them faster.

Can't wait to see the video footage from ACC!! That's the track that I was planning on going to once I was back in IL. There are a few in IN that might be worth checking in to that aren't a tremendous drive from you...

Yeah, ACC, Gingerman Raceway, Grattan Raceway and Blackhawk Farms are Chicagoland favorite trackday spots...and of course Road America.

Nice!
can't wait to save up some dough over the winter, get my racing boots and some leather pants, then hit the track... apparently, Summit point is one of the most technical tracks out there... not a lot of speed, but lots of turns. Our fellow FZ6R rider did his track day, had a low side early on... found out he's still running the stock bt021... and had his tire pressures at touring pressures... very little damage, the intuitive no-cuts took the brunt, the shifter a bit, but bent it right back...

you can see him here and a few of the other riders:
