Hey everyone my name is Ryan Smith, and I just signed up for the SuperStreet class on July 28th @ HPR and decided to join the forum to get some more information about it. It looks like its going to be a lot of fun and exactly what I need to improve my riding.
I would love to race but I live in the Aspen/Snowmass area and the local track costs $5000+ per day to rent and its only 1.1 mi with 9 turns and making a 4+ hour trek down to HPR, PMP, & PPIR every weekend just doesn't seem feasible. So I plan on doing as many SuperStreet classes as I can until I either run out of money, destroy my bike, or move to Denver to race more. (Pick two of the three and it cant include a city)
But for real, I'm intimidated by you guys, I mean I think I’m a fast rider but I've never 'dragged knee' before. I would love to get to that point of being comfortable riding my bike at crazy lean angles and trusting my tires to not wash out on me.
I have been on street bikes since I was 15 from Busa's to Daytona's, I’m currently on a K6 GSXR 600. I went to school for Motorsports Engineering and have built drag cars and quads and I do all of my own work on everything. I'm 27 now and I’ve never been on a race track before but I love to race, I love to go fast, and I love to improve.
Like I said, I'm not really sure what to expect from this class except that I know that I will meet a bunch of really nice people who enjoy the same kinds of adrenaline rush as me!! I know there are not many like us here 'where the beer flows like wine and women flock like the salmon of Capistrano.'
So I will be trailering my bike down to the event with all of my gear and will have room for an extra bike if anyone needs a ride or haul down from the mountains, please, just ask!
I know that I have some questions about the class, like should I bring my dog or not, but I will do some more reading (the rule book) and searching before I clog up the boards. Thanks for reading and I hope to meet some of you soon! :twisted:
