One of the local guys pitted behind us had an off track excursion into the wet grass.As u can see the bike didnt fair so well but he did walk away I told him good thing the ground was soft hunh,sucks but your walking.

totaled! What track?

same thing at MAM in Iowa. Wet. not worth to ride in those conditions. You are really not gaining anything. So much to loose and so little to gain. Glad to hear the rider is ok though.

totaled! What track? im sure its gonna b a trackbike now. Heartland Park Topeka, Topeka KS

Glad to hear the rider is ok though. yeah been to that track many many times on my 03 636r as well as my 01 GSXR 600, actually where I did my race school w trackaddicts.

That suckkksss. Bad day indeed.. Should have stayed home and watched a movie I guess.

That suckkksss. Bad day indeed.. Should have stayed home and watched a movie I guess. :+1:My thoughts exactly, i fuggin HATE even riding on the streets when it's raining or even wet out, let alone doing a track day in that crap!! that's just me though.

Rain on power race tires= bad idea

ouch

That suckkksss. Bad day indeed.. Should have stayed home and watched a movie I guess. right, looks like a street bike...sucks, been there done that:lol:

No a good idea to ride at the track while it's wet.

that thing looks like it took a nice beating

Yeah one of them things that sucks for sure, Gotta have some of that rain insurance or whatever they call it. I would love to ride in the wet and work on being smooth but not silling to risk my bikes that is for sure. At least the Guy was ok, which is what matters most.

Well i had a blast on the wet track just didnt push it quite so hard on the tires had some predictable slides & wiggling around but all was good. yeah he came over Alpha at HPT Topeka & didnt make turn one went straight off the track & when he hit the grass & mud it was all over with then. Dont know how fast he was going topping the hill but I was topping it from 120 wet in 4th gear to 150 dry on my ZX10r. I know my son was on my 01 GSXR 600 track bike & he was doing all that wet or dry.But he has no fear & is one of those kids with Natural abillities & it shows on the track.

It happens..........we ride'em, we wreck'em. Totaled, don't think so. Riding on a wet track teaches throttle control.......gotta go easy. With those tire, gotta mind you p's and q's.

Looks like my 10 back in december.flipped it at pbir race track .coast me just shy of 3k to fix it.I did all the work myself.here it is done.

Dont know if was turned into Ins to b honest. Yes it does,some people have the knack to ride in the wet some people dont.I had no issues but I wasnt gonna push it harder than I should on my street bike.:mrgreen: Just enough to have fun :thumbsup: Thats what my trackbike is for but my 20yr old son was riding it.

Turned out nice!:thumbsup: Here's mine before and after the crash at Tally during the Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't too tore up, but man! did left shoulder hurt after that (low side T2).:angryfire

Nice I low sided my 01 GSXR 600 in Turn 13 avoiding a rider down in the apex of the corner at HPT, bike wasnt bad but I did Fracture ribs & bruised my spleen spent 2 days in Hospital on fathers day 4 yrs ago.:rolleyes:

best looking gixxer ive ever seen. lol glad he's ok.

best looking gixxer ive ever seen. lol glad he's ok. LMAO Yeah lil pride Hurt is all I think.Will see if it's back together for the Next trackday on July 25th!:mrgreen:

I've run wet tracks at Barber and at Mid-Ohio, and I can tell you from experience, I'd far rather run Barber in the rain. I and several others can attest to that with our repair bills. Mid-Ohio is super awesome in the dry, but is slick as can be in the wet. That sealer on the track is treacherous when it is wet....and I'm not talking about the snakes they put in the asphalt cracks....I'm talking about the whole track surface. But in the dry...if you haven't run Mid-Ohio, you have an experience you'll never regret.

Rain on power race tires= bad idea:+2::headshake,they just don't have the required grip in those conditions

lol I wasnt gonna push it that hard on a trackday anyway not worth it! 3 hrs later it was beautiful track was pretty much dry except for a few spots but nothing to really worry about.

Pat I'm still envious of you guys having that track so close to you! I swear one of these days I'm gonna make it there for a track day. Thanks again for letting me and wifey stay ya!
