Helmutt Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) NCM trackdays were upwards of $250/day a couple seasons ago. Not sure what org hosted at that price though. Any cheaper lately? Edited February 27, 2017 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 What fuel line are people using for bikes that run 100+ octane? Need to replace the line on the Ducati before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Has anyone tried the Pirelli Superbike SC3's? Sportbiketrackgear has been completely useless in trying to get information. Pirelli's website is not up to date. And the web is mostly useless. They have discontinued the Superbike Pro (trackday tire). And i am wondering how the life is on the SC3's. They are supposed to be an endurance spec tire. I'm leaning toward an SC2 front and SC3 rear. Also, going from the Pro to the Superbike will change the rear from a 180/55 to 180/60.

Jester_ Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I would not use a sc3 imo. Personally I prefer an sc2 front and sc1 rear depending on track temperature. Send an email to Mike@metricdevilmoto.com with any tire questions you have and he will point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably check the weather tomorrow morning and make the call. 92 is just so hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a hot track to a cold one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in intermediate and usually file in around the #2 in the pits before the session. I don't have a number on my bike though. I got the 675 years ago cause no one had them; that and how awesome they are. Now they are everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I should be there in Novice. Watch for the Duc to be going slow. Will be interesting to see how I do after last years crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yesterday ended up being a perfect day at Mid-O. Rain held off until the last session was over (except for novice). They were lined up in the pits as it was sprinkling but i think the coaches made the right move and cancelled the last session. I set another PR for the year with a 1:44.2. I was consistently running in the 44-48's without traffic. It's hard to explain but i think the more experienced riders will understand. But as i was riding faster, everything seemed to slow down. I was carrying a lot more speed through the corners but it felt slow; maybe slow isn't the correct term. I'm assuming this is just from experience and learning the track more. Either way, I greatly improved my turn 8, 9 and 13 corner speeds. The next corners to work on is 1 and 11b? (the right hander over the hill going into thunder valley). Those are both fast turns i know i slow down too much for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
