My bike is mechanically sound, new tires and I've got decent safety gear, helmet, gloves, boots, armored jacket and pants which is what they require. Still sound crazy?

Does your 68 VEE, or SC have ANY track upgrades at all? Like sticky tires, bigger springs/T-bars, etc? If so, than that rules out not having 'modern technology'.
If you want to learn how to ride the bike, thats one thing, if you want to go to the track on it, thats completely different. Even back in '75 that bike would be unsafe at track speeds/conditions without adding upgrades like stickier tires, springs, etc.
Will it make it around the track?, Of course.. But someone who already has track exp, you will undoubtly try to start pushing it and go faster and faster. Not a good idea on that bike.
