F4iguy Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Me getting passed by Nathan @Limitedslip7 (third bike - white R6). Then trying to keep up for a lap. Also a shot from his camera right before the pass. Need to work on my BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were looking good out there though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 That's cool. I was going to contact them and suggest it. None of the workers or coaches were surprised it was a K&N filter, one even said. 'Another K&N' or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4iguy Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Oddly enough I was talking to Mark Junge before the season started and he said they were going to ban them. I guess they weren't able to implement that right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Need to check the CBR, if it has a K&N it's coming off before the 4th. Need to safety-wire now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwb675 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yep. K&N are banned at Mid-o. They turned down like 8 people today at tech. Someone did a run to a part store and bought a bunch of filters. My buddy was lucky enough to use one of them and get out. Only missed the first session today. They should have called people or posted it. I feel bad for the people that didn't get to run today. They better be getting a refund.

durk Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I would have failed tech when I went in July. I just changed my oil recently and installed a K & N. I had heard rumors of issues but this thread and the failure thread have me freaking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Congrats @what and @jacobhawkins on the bump up! And that's quite a statement against K&N. Maybe NOW they'll step up and look into their design flaws? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to do a track day some time but it won'tt be on the big girl. For multiple reasons the main ones being she's the only bike I have right now and I don't want to fuck it up. and two is the obvious, even though you can track it does not mean you should.

I have no issue with them banning the filters. But they should have sent out a mass message to everyone that was preregistered stating so before morning of tech inspection. Give people a chance to change it out the day before. I would be super pissed even with a refund. Still wasted my time loading the bike day before, using a vacation day i can't get back, my time and gas driving down and back. It is what is it is now at this point. Hopefully it'll be a learning point for their communications team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your helmet, although I dont think you hit your head in that pea-gravel. Maybe a bar end. Boots, gloves, suit should be fine. But I get where you are coming from, still sounds greedy.....
