Jerry where were you? I love the east track, its a good mix between technical and fast. I had a great day, had fun and didn't crash so thats good. I am also turning alot faster lap times than last time I did east and I got to cornerwork. Sebastian and I had some good battles throughout the day and I also found some other guys to battle with. Doing a regualar trackday is definitely a confidence booster after doing two race paractice days.

That track day was a lot of fun. And +1 for pirelli superbike slicks. I didn't really push until the last 2 sessions cus I was helping a friend set up his bike. But I did turn a few 1:00 lap with traffic.

im pretty sure he was in red group. damn r1's. haha

There was a ton of R1's yesterday. There was one guy in the white group who would hold me up really bad in the corners and brake way to early but take awkward lines so I did not want to pass him sometimes. Then on the straight aways I could keep up with him but not pass him. Damn liter bikes. lol

I started gettin really fast in turn 3 and passing crowds of people there too. I was taking the outside line all the way around that turn. I would enter it hot and late and then exit early. It worked really well.

Sorry about not being on for the last few days I have been really busy with school. I ran in the white group for the first session only. Then I moved up to red because there weren't that many people and most of the white riders were way too slow for the pace that I was running. Not giving anyone crap about it just puting it out there.

Also about the different groups, if you want to get faster then run with the faster guys. Just know what you are capable of. I had a guy try to follow me after I passed him on the first straight into that right left and he was off-roading big time. Try to find someone that has a slightly higher corner speed than you and hang with him. 2 big things to going faster 1) be as smooth as possible and 2) trusting your tires. The second one is MUCH harder than it sounds. I woud be down for April 6th if someone wants to pick up my tab....

I didn't run the first session cuz I like to wait till the track is hot and ready before I go out there, espescially when I am corner working because I don't feel like I have to get my money's worth. There were some awful slow guys in the white group.

03-05-2008, 01:50 PM
I think I am going to ride red next time too. I will just give them a head start so they don't lap me. lol I had some 1:02 lap times though so I wasn't too bad.
