It’s the end of June, and track season is in full swing. So far ThrottleDad, ThrottleGirl, and I have done a few days and two overnights in the toy hauler. My last post on bringing a baby to the track was written almost a year ago when the little one was about six months old. She is now… Read More Taking Baby to the Track Part II
Summer is almost here, and our first summer track weekend is fast approaching – the second weekend in June at Thunderhill Raceway. Saturday, Z2 will run the full 5-mile course with both Thill East and West combined, and Sunday is the Z2 Women’s VIP Day, where the entire C group is female-only. We’ve done this… Read More Z2 Women’s VIP Day 2016
Part of ThrottleDad’s and my deal is that we take turns riding and watching ThrottleGirl. This goes for weekend rides, bigger riding events like multi-day rides, and track days. I had a blast at Sonoma Raceway a few weeks ago, and so this weekend it is ThrottleDad’s turn for a track day – our first… Read More Track Days on the Sidelines

Sonoma Raceway is hands down my favorite track of the… Read More Season Opener at Sonoma with Z2 Track Days

After two months of decent rainfall, we’ve got a high pressure system sitting on top of us that is resulting in day after day of sunny, 70 degree weather. ThrottleDaddy already did a trackday at Sonoma Raceway with Keigwin’s @ The Track, and they had… Read More Coming out of hibernation
“Do you think she’ll be ok on the drive?” “Do you think she’ll sleep all right in a new place?” How will she handle the noise? The chaos with lots of people, dogs, bikes all over the place? The heat? How will she nap? What about things we haven’t even thought of to worry about??… Read More ThrottleGirl’s first moto track day weekend
I love motorcycle track days. I am a pretty conservative street rider, but I enjoy speed, lean angle, and acceleration as much as the next trackday junkie. I even love the hot weather that often accompanies summer track days at our regular track, Thunderhill Raceway. Temps hitting 100 F and above are not uncommon. Hot… Read More Back to the track
