Congratulation JazMan.
You are goin to have fun with the CSS group. Bunch of nice people that are going to make your track day enjoyable. As far as what to do to get out of work early. I usually start getting sick two days before I get a sick day. But that is me. Good luck in getting out early and enjoy the ride.
The razor.
LOL , I have already started setting the ground work for my "FLU DAY" friday ! Got to be honest I am both excited and nervous about the school , always hate the thought of looking like a noob , even after riding for over 40 years spent too many of those on a HD with the only requisite was looking cool. Finally graduated to sport bikes 3 years ago but it is hard for a old ( 55 ) , gray, over weight ( have lost 80 lbs. ) road warrior to learn new tricks !!! But I keep trying , which at least to me keeps me young . The thing is even thro I ride alot of miles , I don't think of myself as a very good rider.
