Default Anyone in the south?

I'm split between a track day at either Tally, AL; or a track day at Jennings FL. If anyone is in the area of either of these tracks and wants to do a track day at the end of July let me know. Also if anyone has any experience at either of these tracks feel free to chime in.

Ha yes i remember you saying something about it a while back. I'm leaning more towards Tally tho just based on the look of the track, however having an experienced track rider from the forum at the track with me could def. have an impact on my choice.

Seems a bit distanced but I'll look into it, do you have a link to the tracks website?

I usually do sportbiketracktime.com track days, which is the august one.

NESBA is another good one
Elitesportbike.com is another

I think the Jennings days are done by Jennings, you will have to ask Rae.

I'm from crestview and I've done both tracks and like them both. Tally is a small tight and technical track and Jennings is a wide open track. I would chose jennings though just cause I like it better. I think we are planning on doing a trackday sometime soon at tally though (I need to work on that decreasing radius that keeps wooping me) but i'll post up when we get it set in stone

not gonna make it, shit happens, and well, I cant cram everything into a single year...hoping for next tho...

Shift, as for experienced riders, my standard sunday riding group is made up of racers, ex racers, wanna be racers, and control riders. We take it easy on the street but it is ALWAYS a benefit to have that kind of help, and Priceless at the track!

They are both good tracks and you can't go wrong with which ever one you choose.
I have done track-days and raced at both tracks and I personally like Jennings better.
I don't know a date yet, but I will be at Jennings real soon for a track-day. Maybe some other locals (Ft.Walton/Pensacola) and some forum members (SpeedRacer/Rae) will be there too.
