How did the rear feel? Definitely need to get a jri rear. John Hutchison has a good deal on them. A better front tire will help as well. I have a supercorsas front which is what I've raced on for awhile and has always worked well for me.Thanks. I've only replaced the front brakes with EBC pads and front forks with Andreani cartridges. Stock Rosso front and Dunlop Unbeaten rear..
Do you know what lap times you are running there?
On a side note, 4 hrs isn't much.
I wish I did but I didnt have anyone to time me and I don't have GPS.
4 hours isn't that long I agree, but I have done 12 20 minute sessions; the video was 13.5 minutes long.
I timed a couple of people when I corner worked and the level one liter bikes were in the low 1:30s. I would get about 10 laps, so under 2:00 for sure. I go back in November so I will see if I can get a time. What were those CMRA guys running?
That is the 1.7 CCW. I love that one for my track days. I corner work Station 3 there also. You look good in Rattlesnake, that's a tough set of corners and took me quite a while to get the hang of it and I'm still lacking there. I like to close up on the faster cycles by the end. Then I like to swing wide through Wagonwheel, all the way to the curbing, keeping the riders on the inside, and really gas it to the apex and can usually get a pass there coming out before they pass be back before turn 2. I also like to stay on the curbing in Roundabout and try to take 7, 8, and 9 nearly wide open. 9 onto the front straight is another good place for a pass keeping the riders on the inside. Watch that patch of pavement at the apex of 8, I seem to hit it every time. Also on the front straight I like to swing back in after the apex of 9. There is some wavy pavement down the middle of the front straight that seems to unsettle some cycles. And of course I stay off the patched grooves joining the concrete lanes, those have caused many issues.
Overall a very nice race considering you didn't get much practice. It looked like a ton of fun. I've always wondered what it would be like in a race, but I'm strictly an amateur, and on a low powered street bike, first a CBR250R and now a CBR500R. Good thing is I ride with a group that does that one all the time, so they taught me a lot about that track, and with 4 hours of sessions there I feel like I really know it well, so it would be fun to see what I could do against some pros. Good luck.
I was gonna say, there are track days before then!!!! But then I looked and realized there isn't. Another good track is msrh down in Houston but that's a drive for you.Yes level one are the most experienced riders and usually have the fastest laps. You can find liter bikes in all 3 levels though. Ash: I doubt I would ever make it into a race, but I love track days and that gives me a feel for what it's like. I like the track days too because it's so cheap. I get a day for every day I corner work. All I have are tires and painters tape invested. I can't wait for November, it's the next track day out there.
