I don't expect chris to get to njmp anytime soon, he has mid-o which is about even in terms of quality so he's good regardless.
I was just at njmp the other day myself, I run around a 1:45-1:48 or so on my 300

with context, now it makes sense. I didn't want anyone thinking I am any good on 2 wheels and following me into the grass. on 4 wheels, maybe you should follow/learn. on a motorcycle...stay clear, I am just out to have more fun than the street and learn

I am afraid I don't get up to NJ very often, say... 2 times in my life, both for work reasons. Seems I am open to making trips that far north though. Did a trip to CT last year for good fun with a few ninjette members. Had a blast! Doing it again in about 30 days, Aug. 10/11 at Palmer in MA. Your welcome to join if the spots are available with TTD. No worries on the old and slow thing, I am slower than honey bee farts on a cold winter's day.

Finally downloaded the times from my lap timer while coaching. WOW!... My normal track day lap time is 1:40ish give or take. This was a first time track rider's lap time.
Where they started the day. After some time.... and coaching with ALOT of patience . Thing is, we both had the biggest smiles on our faces when we get back to the paddock. The rider was super excited about what they just had accomplished. Hard evidence that riders do get better in short periods of time with the right attitude and direction.

14 second gap in one day nice
how does that lap timer work? that kind needs to be linked up to a device like a transponder to record times accurately right?

A lap timer requires a beacon, it's very similar to a transponder as it requires a beacon to also work. A transponder is instant down to the thousandth of a second or better depending on hardware, where as a lap timer is a bit less accurate and takes a moment or two to register a lap. There are many kinds of lap timers, some use gps and does not use/need a beacon. You can get pretty good lap times with an old smartphone and racechrono, Harry's lap timer or pirelli superbike app without much fuss.

I'd imagine doing those drills over and over again would help you continue to improve your fundamentals as well while coaching
I remember those drills, I wish I could do a no-braking drill at every track in the morning but unfortunately pace demands make that a bit unsafe if I don't do it in the first session or ride in novice and I tend to skip the first session from time to time if the track doesn't feel just right (especially at shenny, that track has no love in the morning) I'd use my phone for it but I have an issue with hitting my data limits as it is and would rather not overuse my plan I think I'll get one of the gps ones that doesn't need a transponder next season ...list of stuff I'm getting for next season is starting to get silly long (but it's still possible since it's really a re-appropriation of the same budget I had this year to be more efficient)

Yea Ben!
By far.... my favorite drill is the no brakes drill. It is soooooo much a challenge to get to knee draggin' pace while NOT losing my group and not touch the brakes for the entire session. I actually take my hand off of the throttle on corner entry to prove to my group that I am not using the brake lever. After a few laps, I take my hand off + do the chicken dance to show my group I am comfortable and loose while getting to my entry speed.

2 more days of coaching over the weekend. What a great time helping others. Shared my garage with 3 other friends as well. What great diversity at the track too. 4 riders from eastern Europe and 2 or 3 riders from India and at least 2 riders from Italy (ducati riders of course ). Was very cool to meet new people.
Pics courtesy of Jade who was rolling around the track taking photos and helping other people. She is such a trouper, I have had riders I have never meet come up to me and say "thank you". I asked "for what?" They tell me my daughter had helped them in some way, putting bike on stands, taking a tire warmer off, ect.. ect.. Finally, it always feels good to leave behind some rubber, gas fumes and a second or two off the lap time at the track when you leave.

More pics from the brother of the rider assigned to my group for the day. Jade takes pretty good photos for being just 11yrs old. But this guy is more of a pro. He focused on his brother but caught a few others as well. He hasn't uploaded them all at this time.
Here are some of his pics of his brother's progress. From earlier in the day Let's ride a little less crossed up and something cool will happen for you! Knee draggin' near the end your first track day. Priceless (still a bit crossed up, but we will let it go to celebrate the progress ) Shameless pics of me

This was my big trip to MA from KY for the year, starting around post #200 or so. Good stuff! Manditory pose! Many cool people meet, hands shaken and new friends made in the pits next to us. Even took a walk to see old friends and made a few more along the way. lol

Streaks are over...
One of my first timers crashed, young lady on a 250. Streak over at 87 riders. She was ok, no injuries and left with a smile anyway. I crashed too, turn 7 @Mid-Ohio, contour broken... lost all vids. Streak over at 124 days at the track without a crash. Bum arm and bruised ribs. Should be good to ride again in a couple of weeks.

it's part of the experience but never good to hear of, especially when you broke two streaks at once glad you're alright though, the ribs will probably bother you for a while. I still feel my cracked ribs from april when I exert myself

In a sling, I went to find the rider that I was tailing. I told him, "It's all good, go home with a smile about the progress you have made in the past 2 day. I am more than happy to be have part of it." I hope he isn't feeling like he was a fault, because that would be a super bummer for me.

Hey ya'lls, when you review you track time... don't forget your support system peeps. They did it for YOU, thank them for that because when you need it, it was always there. Do it face to face and with a handshake or hug, don't be shy about it either.

Next round...
Heading back to Mid-Ohio for some fun. A twilight (I/A riders) followed by 2 more days of normal track days. I am still injured (shoulder), but good to go. I am taking the still cam and video cam and contours for pics and full vid for this trip. Gunna be fun because a number of locals are ending the season with this trip. Although, I do no plan on ending the season with these dates, I have still have 2 more mid-o dates + 2 more at Putnam.

Sorry I have been a slacker as of late. Work sucks, I can't seem to stop breaking things and the honey do list is long with winter on the way.
I have a lot of pics and such to share. Stories to tell but here is the quick update. Have meet and helped well over 100 new track riders, +family, +friends, +people working behind the scenes Still riding with various injuries to shoulder, hand, ribs and feet Still helping riders of all levels on the track as well as in the paddock Still pulling 2 and 3 day back to back track days as a coach at all levels 2 of my new track riders have crash resetting the clock again One of those riders left in the ambulance with a broken back I have coached exactly 0 BRC courses this year Pics will come when I get some time to sort it all out.

Maria @Mid-Ohio
I had the pleasure of meeting and helping a young lady by the name of Maria for her first track day. Overview: She rode her bike to the track day near 2h trip each way She arrived solo, no friends She arrived with minimal tools and bike prep She had little knowledge of how a track day progresses from start to finish Here are the highlights of her story; Arrived on time and registered in the N group I was standing in registration (getting coffee) while she asked questions about tech and such and offered to help her Her bike was street ready in the paddock We started to prep her bike and others jumped in to help without even being asked 4 riders total were helping to prep the bike She passed tech with flying colors (I teched her bike) She was assigned to my coaching group in the N group She missed her first session because her gear didn't pass tech She got on track the second session no problems and rode clean sessions all day Throughout the day, I ensured she wasn't feeling alone and included in the days events At the end of the day she left very happy and made amazing progress Special note: She kept apologizing for being slower than other riders. Each time she did that, I promptly said "Stop apologizing for having fun!" and she finally did. At the end of the day, she had to ride home. We told her she may be more tired than she currently feels and take breaks often. Part of her trip home was also the same as my route, I offered to watch out for her as I drove home. She must have made it just fine as I didn't see her anywhere. Happy riders makes me smile.

I am so slacking on updating this thread but don't think for one minute I have been slacking on the goal. So... Some dude drives down my dead end lane and stops just after my garage. Only for a few seconds, he opens his door for a bit and then drives away. I am looking out my window like WTF!?!?!?!?!? Turns out the driver drops off a cat. Like I need another, but you know me. I go out and catch the cat and welcome it to my home. After some hours it's less scared and content in it's new home and sleeping on my lawn chair mats. Pics upon request tomorrow after she wakes up. Next week is a visit to the vet to get fixed and a checkup.
