So WGI is incredible. First, that area is crazy beautiful. Especially with the fall foliage.
But the track stuff. That place is a ton of fun but pretty intimidating at the same time. Made me feel like it was my first time on a track at times. But it was definitely a positive weekend. It rained a bit each day and was cold but there was still some good dry sessions. Ive done track days in the rain, but the cold rain is where I draw the line. If its warm and rainy ill run. Masstuning is a great group. Love running with them when they come to NJMP. Did not go flat through the Ss, I tried, maybe on a warmer day I would be confident enough to use more throttle. Love the bus stop section. Improved a lot in there even with worse track conditions. The entire track was so thrilling. The walls add a nice level of peril that makes things fun. I really wish I was closer and could go more often. I definitely think I will be back at some point next year.
Day 1
Session 1: Cold and dry. Exploring the track. Finding all the little things pointed out in onboard ive watched
Session 2: my fastest of the whole weekend. Cold, dry, and sunny. Started to push a bit and was getting really comfortable.
Session 3: Rained a lot, was cold. So I kept it parked.
Session 4: Still wet but done raining, went out to work on driving in less ideal conditions
Day 2:
Session 1: Still wet from morning rain just feeling the conditions out
Session 2: Rode with an instructor, cold, sunny and dry. Picked up a lot of advice from the instructor. Was a very positive session.
Session 3: Got colder and cloudy. Couldnt replicate pace from previous session. Could also feel a bit of marbles on my tires and couldnt seem to get them off. (prob just an excuse)
Session 4: Hit that point where I usually tell myself thats its been a great weekend but lets go home lol. Was pretty exhausted at that point. Did a little more than half the session. Felt very happy about the weekend so I parked it and packed up.
My best was a 2:20.87 so not quick at all, but I feel really good with that based on it being my first time. And also with how the conditions were
Loved the whole weekend. Cant wait to go back
