dorset Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 i'm close to six feet and that sucks because it makes it hard to fold up out of the wind. if i were 5'8" life would be a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have 8 certs for next year. Yes, I plan to hit other tracks this year too, but mid ohio is just so close. Can't wait for this terrible season of salt and cold to go away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Mid-O would run on the weekends sometimes. I understand that the events they run on the weekend bring in more cash, still sucks though.

Vacation is saved to whatever Katie wants to do. Agreed it sucks they don't run weekends though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of days free just not necessarily liquid cash for track days. I hope to coordinate my day at Mid-O with you this time. Probably won’t be quite as fun as our street ride last year since we won’t be in the same class. I’m sure fun will still be had though.

Jester_ Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 If anyone is interested is going to tracks further away I will try to post up dates and locations. We normally hit up summit point, nc bike, road atlanta, vir, njmp etc... Pirc is our normal go to and it really is an awesome track. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shaved at least 10 seconds just by getting on the CBR. I think 6 seconds is an achievable goal coming from 1:45/1:46. I've got a good idea on areas I need to improve to make up the most time so if I focus on those problems this season I bet I can make pretty significant progress.

blue03636 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 The closer you get to the pointy end the harder it is to shave time. You will more than likely hit a wall around the 1:42 range. These are fun to get through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, because you went from something with no power to something with power on a track that has a very long straight lol. No doubt youve improved, but the majority of that time was purely because you went from an old ass under powered duc to a 1k lol. Like Craig said, the closer you get to the "pointy end" the harder it is the shave time. We need to put a real lap timer on you next season!

Press go when we pass point X, press stop when we pass point X again. Not accurate down to the millisecond but I would say accurate to the second.
