Building a new car or bike and taking it to the track the first time begins stage two of the vihicle. The inspection is step one, setting in line for the first check out run can make a long day. Getting fired up and being pushed off you try to remember everything you were told is a whirlwind inside your head. Going through the timing lights and remembering which way to turn out and getting to the return road is just another step. Waiting for the crew and the words and speed takes forever.
The rest of the day hs much conversation, note taking and checking out the vehicle. It will be hard to sleep that night and the night seems to last for many more hours. The next morning you repeat the process and are allowed to increase your speed for the next license upgrade.
On the way home the conservation goes on for many hours. You get home usually very tired and face all of the clean up, checking out everything and make a lot of changes they put in the log book. Oh, don't put it off it's 11 months to the next speed week. Oh ! congrats on the first time down the long black line.
