Image Track Day

This Monday March 19th we’ll be taking it to the kart track at Sonoma Kart Track. Join us for some full throttle action on the track. Expect it to be warm so bring shade, beverages, snacks/lunch, and other supplies.

Prep the track bikes, get the chains lubed up, the tires checked, and get that riding gear ready. Smaller (50~85cc) two stroke replicas like the Derbi GPR, and the Aprilia RS50 are very much encouraged.

Meet up Monday March 19th
The track is open from 10am to 5pm. Open track, ride $25-40.

Today's track adventure went well in a lot of ways. Mike and I made it out by about half past noon giving us some time to wrench on his bike. Unfortunately he was sent the wrong part so we'll have to remedy that before getting the new PWK installed. As for the track the layout switched to Reverse National which hosts a much higher average speed with more distance in the straights. The little Derbi was topped out in sixth down the main. The National layouts being much faster and in the reverse you get a lot of left hand turn practice. This is Mike's favorite layout because it allows him to build up more corner speed. Especially around the dog leg. If you get it hooked up just right you can hold the throttle wide open for just about three corners.
