Waaaaay cool brother, thanks for sharing. I don't think it gets any better than that. I have always wanted to take up riding but never have due to living in Northern Michigan. Some day when I retire to warmer local's.

Track days for the way to go..... There are usually well-organized..... I have a few friends that are car guys.... They Usually go to Sebring..........
I didn't start riding at the track until I was 59..... About five years ago.... What a mistake... it's totally addicting.......
Here is a couple other cool pictures.......

That looks fun Magi. My motorcycle was a cruiser, not a rawcer. But speed is adrenaline, man. Have to see what the budget looks like next year after paying the sons college tuiition. Doubt if I could afford an extra set of track tires. Maybe go back to a bike, its more affordable to race.

Of course motorcycles are less expensive to track or race at club level...... Once you're bike is set up tires are the biggest single expense and you can go to a lot of them depending on conditions...... However I'm lucky with Track day tires race quality ... a number of my friends race.... And they often give me their takeoff tires they use in practice.... The fast laps are gone on them.... but they're perfect for a guy like me that runs 10 seconds a lap under them.......
I have four bikes.... three of them are very comfortable but this black one is miserable for general riding and it's only comfortable working at high speeds.........
I have knee sliders but I'm a knee up guy and rarely touch them down..... When Touch my knee down..... I'm Wayover and it tends to startled me..........
