Hutch Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ok I caught up with you when ran into slower riders. Do you remember going wide in 13 I was right behind you and a guy in front, did he not hold his line or what. I have just been thinking why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCh8r Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Question,never been at Nelson ledges, but like to try go there.I hear its really bumpy and the patches are awful.how will you compare this track to Putnam,that's the only small track I ride.Yes it is bumpy but it is not awful. Similar to Putnam as far as it being a flat track and a lot of flowing sections. It is a 2 mile track so not that small, I consider Beaver Run as a small track, this would be similar to Putnam as length, putman might be just a little longer.

ohdaho Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Just so everyone knows. I've got the GoPro HD Motorsports Hero mounted on the chin of my helmet. Also I had it running in 720p so I can have good quality and more footage at the same time. It worked out well.And passed on the 8:54 mark...that shit wont happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 i had a great time this saturday. didn't get to race cause my vag was tender with the downpours and cold, etc. but blue03464352536 toughed it out i think.it was good fun hanging out with you all, on and off track. rslocum with the fancy steaks was particularly awesome-0.everyone from OR did well at the track (as far as I know) and i know I had fun, and so did Gatsby. He was passing bitches left and right, even without any balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue03636 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Mykill, you were looking from what I saw. Just work on your inside foot (I do the same thing). You almost want to put the end of the peg and the ball of your foot at a 90deg to let the knee swing out. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/152246.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/152246.html&usg=__myGfI9fdZDly9WrN5W8hjrqYpHo=&h=1200&w=1920&sz=292&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=RagSvWOZWMFtTM:&tbnh=151&tbnw=210&ei=cmnRTdyeHoy_gQevy9G4DA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmotorcycle%2Bracing%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1276%26bih%3D819%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=352&vpy=457&dur=1641&hovh=177&hovw=284&tx=160&ty=106&page=1&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0I just noticed it on the last session, other than that you looked good.

Dubguy85 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Tell that to the guys that ran off, the didn't hit anything.I've been there.. Don't tell me there is good run off.. the spots that do have run off have huge tire tracks and ditches to play in. I'm sure there is a place or 2 to run off but mostly, there its not the safest track in terms of run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 the runoff has gotten better since the first time I was there in 2008. Cars are always going to rut-up wet ground...Of course there are places where run-off room could be better; that's true of every track except Miller, and those Qatar circuits that are in the middle of the fucking desert. And guess what? they have dust/sand problems instead.No track is ever perfectly ideal or perfectly safe. The issues at Nelson are manageable. The best way to avoid runoff concerns is to just ride it out... "I've never found more traction in the grass than on the track." - Fred Duncan. You should never "need" to run off. Every time I've ever done so has been because I pussied out of what I should have (and could have) done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
