Danno and mechanikrazy, i hope your reading and anybody else please chime in.
i had a convesation with really fast guy at a high level, on turn 14 and 15 at thill.
he enters turn 14 just out side of mid track and pretty much runs mid track thru turn 14 when he opens the throttle he goes wide open on the exit of 14 and thru the apex of turn 15. i asked how he was hitting the apex at turn 15 "are you checking the throttle to get the bike pointed" his response was "absolutly not, i throw a short shift in, it unloads the bike, it turns and the throttle stays pegged to the stops".
anybody use this technique? wondering how it works on a small bike.
