GP Moto race 7/4/11
 
This was the SBK race, my first try at racing, and I had a blast. Can't wait to do it again now that I can get CCS licensed :)

Nice Kaz now you know what all the fun is about. Be safe and hopefully see you on the track soon.

Nice job entering and finishing the race. Still looks like you're apexing early, almost every turn, killing your exits. Clean that up :ride:

Less of a challenge (I don't think I'm fast enough to shit talk yet :D ) more inspiration than anything else. ;)


I will say Jase, just doing that one race by the second lap I had dropped 3 seconds over my previous best (1:39.3) laptime. Even my slowest lap was a 1:38 something, my friends were right, racing definitely does make you faster.

Wish I could, no bike :(

38's are a respectable time, but the line is on a lil on the sloppy side, so the 1K is making up the time. Prob wouldn't run that time on a 600. You clean up the line, to where you really can use the track and the 1K to your advantage and you can easily drop another 2 seconds w/o even thinking bout it. Keep up the good work.

On the contrary, I'm pretty sure I could more easily run those times consistently on a 600, which is why I'm looking around for one ;)

During the race honestly I wasn't paying attention to my lines very much

When you get the 600, you wont be riding the 1K as much....

I would never go back to a 1K...

Contrary to your contrary, not with those lines lol...(not takin digs at ya). Once you clean up your lines, really get over those apexes, start braking a lil later, and be consistent...38's should come easy on a 600. Best thing I ever did was take the 600/750/1K frankenbike off the track and got a sv, rode that for a bit and got the 6, helped bigtime. Keep it up:ride:
