    Kart track and it was awesome! Met a few great people and had a blast.

    Started off very slow, but began feeling a lot more comfortable and can't wait to go down again. Will post up some videos as soon as I can.

    Spencer, was that the 2 day event? (one night, one day). Thats how it was this time and it was really cool riding under the lights at night.

    Yeah, rode Sat night under the lights and Sunday during daylight. I didnt care for the under the lights sessions...dont know if its my goggles or what but just couldnt get focused. Was also concerned about running over the guys on minis...they're hard to see in the dark...lol

    Would like to do Summit Shenandoah soon, you ever run there?

    I know this is off topic but could you let me know what make or type of stand / clamp system that is on your rear wheel? Does this have a pin or rod going through the rear axle? Been looking for something like this for ages.

    Bozo, That is the pitbull trailer restraint system, hands down the BEST trailering "tie down" method I've ever used! More info can be found here - http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scrip...idproduct=6560

    Spencer, I've been thinking about possibly going to Shenny sometime with the SXV, but haven't been yet. This was actually my first time taking the SXV to any track. I'm still picking up comfort with the different riding style and am not sure how fast you'd actually go on Shenny, but I like the lower speed kart tracks....for now

    I thought the night session was pretty cool, but this past weekend, it wasn't run in "open track" format like usual, they had 3 20min sessions. Kids, minis, then full sized bikes.

    Vid from Sunday day session
