Habi Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Here's another vid from that day. This was the last session when the groups were mixed. Nice, I got to see you blur by me at 1:26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I have a couple but nobody wants to see the slow guy.Hopefully I get the suspension issues figured out and it makes me faster than that HD ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Nice, I got to see you blur by me at 1:26 Yeah, they both ripped by me going into 10 but I did have Mike in tow so that'll be my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

SJC1000rr Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Heres my Rain video from Saturday in the Rain with Brandon in Tow for a bit. We were using rains of course. I got a 1:10 in the wet...so I'll be happy with that! I was refreshing myself on the course since I hadn't been there in two years, so I had my fair share of bad lines. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ku3tFs9xQs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Shit a 1:10 in the wet? The best I could pull off in the dry was a few 1:11's. I was amazed by how solid the bike felt in the wet & cold at PIRC, only the occasional puddle loosened things up. Was a bit scary at first; not knowing what to expect, but the second and third sessions were fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Comes with time and experience! Not to mention a properly working suspension lol. You'll get there eventually!

RHill Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm trying to come up with a plan of attack for the suspension...absolute minimum will be springs and fluid refresh up front. Not too sure about the rear. The spring rate seems fine, but reading about swing arm angle and antisquat....makes me want ride height adjustment.

2thDr Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 You two were moving pretty well with the rains. I of course was watching from the sideline, so I took note of the pace. I was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 completely irrelevant to the thread, but I just scored a XT Ultralap timer! No more watching gopro video frame by frame and building excel tables just figure out lap times! (watch, no one will bring transmitters to the next track day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was going to ask how the hell you knew you were running :11's when I passed you several times and I KNOW I was turning low :10's (almost :09) and :11-12's in traffic at times....I had my timer on in the afternoon.

RHill Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Lol....not making shit up...video I posted was 1:11, 1:11 1:12 if I remember right. Literally went frame by frame in my editing software and used the frame that the finish line disappeared as my reference....figured it out to the tenth. Traffic killed me because I am big pussy when it come to passing. Most of those laps were 15-18 or worse. I'd try to get a run on the straight, but I'd still bitch out when I saw someone creeping across track toward my planned line. Except with Jeff, who I passed on the outside of T7 and T10 into 11. There was another guy in a bright white suit(think it was cortech)....maybe you are thinking of me and him as one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 If you were using a stopwatch on your triple tree I MIGHT be able to take your word for it.Besides, if you were running :11's, when I went by you when you went off the track on T4 you'd of been right with me for a few laps. I didn't see you in my mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Had to take it semi-easy for a lap....didn't want you to get worried about the newb catching up to you Plus, I had to take some time to make sure there was nothing squishing around in my suit.

RHill Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Be prepared, it is addicting like crack. I want to go again this weekend, but it is too far of a drive to Putnam for only one day; maybe next year. Nelson on Monday is tempting.

madcat6183 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was going to ask how the hell you knew you were running :11's when I passed you several times and I KNOW I was turning low :10's (almost :09) and :11-12's in traffic at times....I had my timer on in the afternoon.Nothing personal here, but Im putting this out there for the last time, if you don't have a lap timer or running a GPS/race transponder , then you DON't HAVE LAP TIMES. End of story. People posting lap times based on video, or stop watches, or wrist watches, or because they caught someone and couldnt pass them but hung with them etc. means nothing. I am so tired of hearing I ran this, I ran this, then people get out on the track because of their posted track times and asking if they should move up or down etc. and when they move up they are way over their heads, or run others off the track like what happened to me twice this season, or do something to get hurt.I'm sorry this is the thread Im lighting up, but I am beyond tired of hearing all the stupid things people do and claim on here. I've even had times when my lap timer didn't work, and guess what? I said I didn't have times, that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Holy shit, John. Did you not get your morning dose of ghey or something? And why you quoting me brah?

RHill Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 How is going frame by frame from a raw GoPro video and using a disappearing stationary refrence not accurate? It should be good +/-1/30th of a second. Now trying to pause a YouTube video to figure out lap times is far from accurate, but would be better than a stop watch on the bike. Yeah, frame by frame analysis will not be as accurate as a lap timer, but there should be no issue using it to judge times to the second.
