Tire.jpg

I went to a track day at Talladega in Alabama on Monday sponsored by eastTNriders.com.

The day was near perfect and the rain held off except for one session that I was riding that amounted to a few drops on my face shield yet just enough to make us take note. Just as fast as it came on it stopped and all was well again.

I was the only VFR on the track and as usual had a hard time keeping the 600's and larger in check down the straights but in the corners things got a bit even again.

The one thing that was interesting and mentionable was that the guys I went with were running Michelin Powers and had fantastic traction and in a few cases were on their 6th track day on the same tire. These guys are no slouches when it comes to fast stuff and they are pushing to the limits 100% of the time. It is amazing how those tires are holding up.
