Trackday Training with Eric Bostrom – Autoclub Speedway

I had the best experience at Autoclub Speedway (June 25, 2016). I had 1-1 training with the one-and-only Eric Bostrom. I learned a lot of stuff. Mainly riding position and letting go of fear. I kept going faster and faster.

Interesting to note that he also made pointers regarding the way the SportClassic likes to be ridden.

He called it the “tractor” effect. I refer to it as Mario Kart. (lol) shoot style of naviagting through turns.

The bike was performing flawless.

I also was fortunate enough to have former racer John Hilton there. His approach was different but nonetheless, valuable. I had a 2-for-1 that day!

Bostrom said that the SportClassic is a neutral bike, so enter the turn fast, lean it over, maintain speed to keep tires planted deep, and accellerate as you go through. Seems kinda contradictory but it worked!
