Had a fun time, the 1.3 is a LOT of work to ride, but enjoyed the day (despite the heat). It was a fun little track, wasn't sure how I'd feel about it on the bigger bike, but I actually liked it once I was able to pick up the pace a little bit at the end of the day - but incoming speed was making big differences in line choices, would have been great to tag along with Aaron or one of the other fast guys familiar with that track, but I was too worn out at the end of the day to jump out in the faster group (was mentoring in the LTR group all day).
....but entry speed seems to be more of a factor in line selection on the Cresson 1.3 than just about any track I've ever ridden....
Thanks. Yes that's me. Need to get my head to the inside more. Didn't realize I was that straight.This you, Dave? Seemed like a good one.

Your feet being back is a big improvement. You're getting there. I think you're being a bit conservative because you're riding a nice bike and don't want to risk going down. That's not bad at all, just means you'll progress a bit slower pace than someone willing to find the edges of traction and performance and take a bit more risk. Typically risk reward equation....you find the balance that works for you and as long as it's still fun....keep doing it.I only found a couple I liked of me. The only discernible improvement I could see from the last track day was that my feet were a little higher on the pegs

And out of all of those pics, I could only find one where my mentor was with me. It really was luck of the draw on that deal. I don't feel like I got much mentoring from mine:

Dugger is a good teacher. I've heard consistently good stuff about him.Did my 4th track day to with Sport Rider Coaching at Eagle Canyon Raceway. That track is a complete blast. The new pavement is awesome.
Jim Dugger puts on a cool track event. Best place to go for a first track event. Ask for Lindsey if you are doing your first track day, she is awesome.
