Pheasant Wood Circuit NSW, Australia before its rework. It has much better run off than it used to.
I think this was taken at turn 4.
Earlier in the day I out braked an R1 into T1 and had a tank slapper. I narrowly avoided going into the tyre wall as there was zero run off before the track changes!
The stock steering damper definitely saved my bacon.
I used to love track days on my 600. Passing the 1ks in turn 1 after they went zooming by on the straight :)
I raced a couple years and have had the pleasure of visiting a number of tracks within a few 100 miles of Cincinnati, Ohio (Mid Ohio, Grattan, Pitt, Putnam, Nashville Speedway, Autobahn)… This was back in the mid 2000s
Been able to get back to a few of them on 4/wheels the last few years too.
So much fun!
I raced a 2004 Suzuki GSXR600. Belows a picture before it was turned full race (at Deals Gap / Tail of the Dragon) in Tennessee /North Carolina.

Man I loved that bike!
I still have the ZX6R and Im planning on doing a few track days this year. I wouldn’t mind getting into racing now that I have the disposable income!
I wish I had that many track options. I would need to travel over twice that distance to ride that many tracks.
