Part one - I was in the medium group. Boring start, slow instructor, i did not start using full throttle until after my hot pit in the second session. Tons of slow traffic.

Is there anything special you have to do to upload a 39 minute video? I didn't realize YouTube allowed that big of one. Musta taken forever to upload?!

You need to edit out the first part... Video starts at about 10:45 in...

Wow, looked like a total cluster f#*k out there. I've mentioned wanting to do a Team Hammer school at Daytona for years, but every single person I've asked about it recommended against it. Hopefully Historic Moto Gran Prix will be running at an AMA event soon at Daytona, and I'll get my chance on the high banks then. I'm sure you enjoyed it, but damn it looked pretty hairy out there.

It took 3 hours to upload. Just go to upload and request more space, it asks for your phone #, sends you a text with a code, and you enter the code. You can upload up to 20 GB !!!

The reason i left the first 10 minutes in, was to show the whole experience.
A LOT of waiting, i was placed in the intermediate group, even though i have done Team Hammer twice before and could keep up with the instructors.

You can see how SLOW that group was and how bored i was!

Even in expert i passed everyone, and the instructors would not go above 165 mph!

I hit red line in 6th gear on the start finish straight!

Daytona front straight, red line in 6th gear, stock gearing.

I wished the instructors would go faster than 165 mph. I slowed down because i thought i had a flat rear tire, but it was ok.

wtf i'd be pissed if i had to go 30mph behind all that traffic.

I had a great time. I was also red lining through the tri oval. Three full tank fulls 162 miles.
