Portland International Raceway

Track Day Two - first day in 200 Intermediate

This was my second track day ever and I was anxious to see if I could make any improvements after my first day the month before. I again opted for the personal instruction package, but was unsure if I was going to be able to get Pat again or if someone else would be assigned... but knew no matter what it would be great.

Track Day 2 - Part 1

On my second day I got one-on-one instruction with 2Fast owner Mark Degross. This video contains my greeting and conversation with Mark to discuss the plan for the day and what we hoped to do to follow up the instruction a month ago with Pat O'Connor.

At the end of Track Day 2, 2Fast owner and instructor Mark Degross and I got together and went over the events of the day. Listen and see the good and bad as we cover the July 14, 2017 track day from Portland International Raceway. This video includes comparisons of Day 1 to Day 2 and shows some of the fun guys were having on the Pit exit.

Outtakes of Mark Degross and Larry Lulay

I decided to show a couple of behind the scenes snippets with Mark Degross after our interviews were finished. Amongst the topics we covered, you will hear comments related to Mat Mladin, Josh Hayes, Colin Edwards, and Nicky Hayden - with some photos from the 2005 Moto GP at Laguna Seca.

Side-by-Side of Day 1 and 2

This video shows a comparison of Day 1 (instructed by Pat O'Connor) and Day 2 (instructed by Mark Degross). For various reasons, it doesn't contain the fastest laps, but still gives an idea of some of the progression.

360Fly HD Front Mount

This is me riding the J2TD CBR with a front mounted 360Fly HD with 2Fast owner Mark Degross. Watch for Mark to come up beside me on the left down the straight - and it sounded pretty cool too!

I put this video in a lower resolution hoping it will work better for folks with lower connection speeds. Note: Use your VR goggles or mouse around to see various views.

This is video is me riding the J2TD CBR with a 360Fly HD rear mounted riding with 2Fast owner instructor Mark Degross. It was the cool down lap on the last session of the day. Watch for Mark to play to the camera all the way to the end!
