I can't take turn 1 at 118, so I had to brake a bit. Also that dip in turn one is rough on bikes like this with high unsprung weight on the front end. If I hit it too hard I would start to tuck the front no matter what suspension settings I did. (K-tech carts)

I'm pinned through the carousel. My ass puckers through the chicane as my flexi-flyer flexes.

You're not going to like the advice here: HP is king at RA. Run a fuel injected supersport build 300 on MR12 and gear slightly tall so you can draft someone and slingshot around at key moments.

Here's advice I couldn't keep myself: don't weigh more than 160. I was a 220 lb dude watching the skinny dudes leave me on corner exits. By turn 1 and turn 5 though, I'd know which skinny dudes weren't running MR12. Thanks VP Fuels!

Also recommend connecting a bungie to Drew Jankford.
