BMW held a private track day for about 20 of their customers on Sunday. We (SMRI) set up everything and provided training to those who were interested in having some one on one instruction. It was a typical trackday for everyone to go out and try to go fast. The dealership, wanted people who hadn’t been to the track before and who weren’t comfortable with being out there with all ‘those crazies’ on sport bikes. The goal was to get them comfortable with the track and the concept that you could use the track to improve your street skill and be safer out on the street riding the corners.
We started the day with 3 groups and the largest of the three was definitely the school group. Each of the students had a instructor to work with, and the instructors moved from one student to another so that there was some different ideas passed along to them through out the day.
There was a couple of students that I worked with a number of times. It was amazing to see their progress throughout the day. I managed to get about 11GB of video during the day, of course not all of it is useful. I’m still working on editing and uploading it to YouTube. If you’d like to see it search for ZiaThunder.
