Oh no worries thats the one thing I actually knew for sure. I put on Pirellis on my ninja and took it slow for about a tank, then started tearing into them and those things STUCK like freaking horse glue. When I took em around the first corner around the shop I felt them slip majorly though, so I know what you mean.

Most current tires just need a warm up cycle and they're good to go. Have to get the mold release off the tread. Usually only takes about a mile or so. Just want to get some good acceleration and braking. None of that side to side weaving, unless you rolled through some gravel and it's stuck to the tires.

What'd you get bumped for?

And also, pics from the track. I may order some of them.

Great question.

Their explanation was that their was a scheduling issue and I was the last to sign up for that particular class, so I had the pleasure of getting bumped out of it.
