Short and sweet:

Red is fast, DougZ is slow.

You get 100 times more critism in red than white....was pulled to he side by a coach half of the sessions.

Just touched the knee down a couple times.

Crashed, gently, after turn one in the grass...ran wide, target fixated, saw the grass, hit the grass, dumped bike in the grass. Only damage was broken shift lever.

Brian (Bowler) is the man.

A pic or two:

Sounds like you couldn't have had a better "incident". Glad it went well for the most part -- criticism helps. It'll only make you faster in the end. Oh, and good thing you had the GSXR plastics on, right?

Stop taping porn to your tank and maybe you'll hold the line!

You find you're smoother and faster after putting your knee down?

I only barely touched it down in one turn.....9 I think....and had to point it out to Jeff for him to see it. LOL

I got faster through the day, but still slow for that group. I don't think I nearly as smooth as I should be....I got a lot more days to go before I get smooth. I had a lot of coahces talk to me about my lines, which, when I was in white group..all I ever got was the thumbs up, so that was a little frustrating.

Honestly, I would say I have a long way to go before I am fast and smooth...but, I am getting there.

Sounds like it was a really good day full of learning tools for you Doug! You should be proud of yourself instead of frustrated! All the TPM Coaches want to see all us TPM members excel! That's what makes them so great and us better too

Keep at it and soon you'll be where you need to be!!!

Looks like u got a knee down in my favorite corner, turn 11, right?:



So what sorts of advice did they give u? I'm hoping they get more explicit when I get out there in red as well.

So how much faster is Red? I'm hoping to be middle of the pack.

I road with some CF members over the wknd, nice guys, had a really nice time, but I would of traded with u in a second. I only hope the weather is just like this past wknd for the remainer of my trackdays! Picked a 2005 gsxr600 out of the weeds that was following me though....
