Cool vid, was that a tpm day or you dont know. That was a crazy pass going into turn 1. I also think he got a bit hung up behind that blue bike. I like the outside passes going through 7 too. I will keep that in mind if I get fast enough to pass anyone in the red group

2 months and counting

Orion's from the DC area. Pretty sure it was a NESBA day. That shifting though - ouch. Painful to listen to.

And that's why he's wearing the orange.

That "Boys Of Summer" song seems to be a popular choice these days.

My speakers here died so I couldnt hear the pain of the shifting. I do wonder if that speedo is accurate I cant believe that you hit 120 on that back straight, then again my speedo is taped up so I dont know.

Being the speedo was displayed for the video I was wondering if the cam-bike had a healer installed as well.

The short straight coming past start finish? Very easy to get to 120+ there. My TLR and RC51 can do it with no trouble at all. When I get onto the top straight coming out of the double apex, I am already pushing 95+, the rest is an up shift and roll on.

Getting a bad case of cabin fever..need to get out on the track. April is a long way off.
