You won't learn ANY of that stuff at a track day.
This is the Street & Track section isn't it

Sport Rider tests virtually everything (bikes, tires, you name it) on both the street and track - their comparison of touring tires to sport tires to DOTs on both the street and the track was an eye opener. Of all the bike magazines, Sport Rider provides the most technically in-depth articles and goes the farthest to test the real-world effects of changing motorcycle technology. Andrew Trevitt spearheads that aspect of their reporting.

I'm really hoping Andrew is going to heal up fully. He got my artwork into Sportrider and has helped me immeasurably through the past few years when there was nothing in it for him other than to be a nice guy. I feel I owe a lot to this guy.
