Greeting from PIR on our First Track Day

After a long night and little sleep due to excitement, I got up at 5:00AM to show you the empty pits prior to the filling up. This is just a quick greeting to let everyone watching the series know that... yes we actually are going to be showing you footage from our track days. After the bike prep and other related videos have been uploaded, we will post the videos taken throughout the day which include multiple onboard cameras (including two 360 videos) on our bike and the onboard footage from the instructor (Pat O'Connor). There will also be a recap where the instructor provides a critique based on his view.

Morning Greeting from PIR - 1:54 minutes

Track Day 1 - Part 1

This was my first day on the track at PIR on June 23, 2017 with the 2003 Honda CBR 954RR. In this video we introduce you to my one-on-one 2Fast instructor for the day, Pat O'Connor. From there we go to the riders meeting and pickup ride around the track, then to the classroom. Right after that I follow Pat around the Portland International Raceway while it has the chicane in place near the end of the long straight. Later you see Pat wave me by for the afternoon sessions when the chicane is removed and they can go the full length of the straight. Keep in mind this is all amateur stuff... regular dude going to the track day to see what it is like, so there are no track records set here... but you will get an idea how a track day goes at the entry level and can proceed as the day goes on (or you can kick back the whole day). By the end of this video you will see up to six camera views (most via 360Fly 4k) all in sync to show you various angles at the same time. And don't skip anything, or you will miss the guy going off the track into the grass directly off to the side of me.

Track Day 1 - Part 1 - 17:55 minutes

Track Day 1 - Part 2

At the end of Track Day 1, 2Fast instructor Pat O'Connor and I got together in Pat's trailer and went over the last three sessions where Pat had recorded behind me. Listen to all the good and bad as we cover the June 23, 2017 track day from Portland International Raceway.

Track Day 1 - Part 2 - 33:57 minutes

360Fly 4k First Session Ever

This is my first session ever on a track day, and I had a 360Fly 4k in VR with 2Fast instructor Pat O'Connor in front showing me the best lines to take.

This is in a high resolution and if it comes across blurry, it is because the connection isn't strong enough. We may put this video out again later in a lower resolution so it performs better.

360Fly 4k Later Session - Full Straight

This is one of my later sessions on my first track day ever, and I had a 360Fly 4k in VR with 2Fast instructor Pat O'Connor in front showing me he best lines to take. This was at Portland International Raceway on June 23, 2017.
