    Hey everyone been reading a lot of these forums in anticipation of hopefully my first track day. Bad news is i cant make any of the August and September dates for Gingerman or Gratton. The end of August at Gratton is a huge maybe. Looking at possibly doing the bike night at Gingerman on 9/17. The question is will i gain just as much from the night session as i would the normal days sessions?

    Looks like i might have gear all set from reading other threads. I bought some used boots and a set of used leathers i got a good deal on. Purchased those before i knew there was leathers possibly available to rent... But from the sounds of it ill be hooked and ill have a set of my own in no time anyway!!

    I would highly Recommend to NOT do a bike night as your first day.
    There is no instruction or class room at bike nights.
    Grattan august should be a great event i highly recommend doing novice and come with a open mind and listen to your instructor you will learn a lot.
