Topeka or Bust!!!

Ok I've finally made up my mind to go to Topeka - does anyone know of some good track video (taken from a competent rider) for that track? Also what is appropriate gearing for a 1st gen. SV?

from John "call me competent" Dueser. Not race pace, but a few laps right after the repave.

thats a cool video
i take it you really don't like the track ?
or don't think it is safe?
its hard to see the surrounding area but it dosnt look too bad other then one long wall on the left i guess its near the start finish?

No I LOVE topeka...I just can't push myself at a trackday...

1. You can never wreck on the warm up lap
2. You can never wreck on the cool down lap
3. You can never wreck at a track day

No Checkered, I am not going at 100%...
