Here's the smoking puck one again from Kevin's site... hopefully it works for everyone.
Also, check out all the other pics he has on his site. This is the link from above again in case you missed it: http://ibkevman.com/v-web/gallery/album58/1kevin1?full=1

well, I am certainly not the fastest guy around but I'll be happy to show you the lines I take around any track we're on together. any questions you have, don't hesitate to ask.
I think I'm gonna skip gateway this year and try to make it to Heartland Park in Topeka. I've heard great things about that track.

Yeah, I had several people asking me why I did that.
That is an old scratched up windscreen that I don't use any more. I didn't want to go with my new one, but I didn't want a scratched up one either. So, I just taped the scratched one.
I'm too fat and out of shape to get into a tuck low enough to have to look through the screen unless I'm just going in a straight line on the interstate for a length of time.

I appreciate all the help you've already given me. The early ride around the track in your truck with all the pointers really helped a lot, especially on the turn where you can't see the track and have to pick up the marker cone.
I need work on everything.... picking out lines, getting my ass off the seat, smooth throttle, braking, well -- like I said: everything
Everybody at the track day was helpful. You especially... Dr J.... Paul led a couple of laps slowly so I could follow him and try to learn. I was really impressed by how everyone embraced the different levels of riders present.
I wasn't too impressed with Gateway when I was there for my little 20-min excursion last year, but it's so darn close and convenient that it's hard to pass up. Especially for someone like me that can't come close to pushing the limits of the track. I just hope it's not way over crowded.
I'm going to try to go to several more track days this year if possible. Practice, practice, practice.
