Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
As for what you need, most entry level track days don't require much work or money in all honesty... but it all depends on which organization you're running with. In most cases, for entry level, you'll just need to tape up your lights and speedometer and do a little safety wiring on the basics: oil drain plug, oil fill cap, oil filter... They typically want you to run either a race coolant or straight water in the radiator as well.
I know CCS required kickstand/sidestand removal or for it to be safety wired in an upright position.
What organization are you interested in?

I would really be interested in learning proper lean angles and body position.
So I dont need a full suit?
Also, do you have an opinion on cycle shack and their tuning capability?

To be honest I have no idea about which orginization, all I know is that I would like to be on the track.

As for the full suit and the learning riding techniques, I'd gladly help you out or at least point you in the right direction. I'm free right now so if you want to ride and hit a few of my favorite roads I'll be glad to give you some pointers and/or feedback on where you could improve. I'd also suggest getting in on the next California Superbike School entry level trackday and you can ride THEIR bikes and get personal instruction. Keith and his son Dylan Code are amazing!
In regards to the suit, what size leathers do you wear? I have a one piece and two piece... If you can fit, I'd probably let you borrow for your first event. I can score you a good leather suit (1 or 2 piece) relatively cheap.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
Besides, Keith Code is a legend...
I think I might have some leathers that will fit you. The full two piece may be a little loose but I think the pants would fit your height/weight pretty well. You may want to use your leather jacket with the pants I have if you have a leather jacket. If not, let me know and I can point you in the right direction to score good gear pretty cheap.
Most schools and organizations will rent leathers to you as well.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
Saw some nice cars on 81 south today. Anybody know of what might be going on? I saw a black duelly towing what looked to be a R33 Skyline (black or Charcoal) Another truck towing a nice yellow Conquest/Starion. Also saw two nice mustangs that looked to be more of show cars. Does that seem weird to anybody else, imports were the race cars and mustangs were the show cars.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
Saw a nice looking Subaru Sti on 460E and Locust street in Princeton, WV today, at 1pm. Gold color, with black rims. Looked like it said CSEPerformance, or something like that on the side. I wanted to follow and get a better look but the damn light wouldn't turn green. Is it anybody on here?
