I live in California and was wondering if there was a best time to go to the track. The fees for two days are killing me so I can only go maybe once this year. Considering my weather and temperature, I can go March 25, April 6 and 7th, or May 20 and 21. Maybe inconsequential but I have never been to a trackday and you guys may have some insight that I have overlooked. I am considering track temps and the most traction so am leaning toward the latest May dates. Will probably run street tires. Can it get to hot and make it uncomfortable for me to ride or overheat my tires? I am not fast enough on the street to drag knee but I am thinking I will be able to at the track. Just wanted a push in the right direction for a track newb.

The MTC track day schedule will be published bt the end of February, and you might be interested in a Streets of Willow track day. SOW is a fantastic track for your first track day. Not too fast, quite technical, and a greattrack to work on different types of turns. MTC SOW track days are only $99. April, or May would be fine.
