Jerry: I've done track days and back in the 1980's, I road-raced bikes for 6 years.
From your earlier posts, I recall that you are a fairly new rider. I think motorcycling is like basketball or golf: Anyone can do it, but their is a huge difference between a beginner and a true expert. I think I recall you took a MSF riding course and applaud you for that. You next step should be the "experienced rider course" and gain experience before heading for the track.
Further, that bike was good for the track back int the '70's and early '80's, but you'll quickly be in over your head it you try to keep up with modern machines with superior brakes, suspension, tires and power.
I've talked to those running track days in the area you (we) live. They get a fair amount of "squids" and not a day goes by w/o ambulance runs. Airlifts to Harborview are not uncommon. You can be prudent and within your limitations, only to have someone else take you out.
In other words, I'd wait a year or two......G'luck...
