I ran a personal best in the race Sunday 1:17.6. GPX Pro says if I would do everything right through every corner I could run a 1:15.5

1:17, Awesome drew! That's podium material for sure

The best I managed was a 1:23, not horrible for a stock bike, but was a little dissappointed I didn't pull anything quicker.

I guess next time I'll have to not pull into hot pit every other lap just to have some fun

1:23 is great for the stock bike! I was pretty mad at myself for not running anything faster than a 1:25 on my stock bike so don't feel too bad.

Thanks, I just see race pace at 1:15-1:18 and then see a 1:23..... seems so far off

I'm going to knock the collars down and stiffen up the rear shock a bit, see if it handles any better for Putnam this weekend

Josh was right around the same on his 250, and you were about there on yours stock, so hopefully next year with a better bike I'll be right up there with you guys!

burningscooter · October 15th, 2013, 11:38 AM

Riding with NESBA. This was NJMP Lightning roadcourse. Photo is me going through the bowl.

One of the most fun tracks I've been to this year.

Racer x · October 15th, 2013, 09:48 PM

My latest trip down the measured mile.

Aufitt · October 16th, 2013, 10:21 PM

Trying to make my lanky 6 foot frame as small as possible onto the main straight.

2013 Season finished on the weekend 2nd place.
A whole lot of 2nds, 3rds and even 10ths... but no wins despite giving my best.

Sometimes under the lap record and the winner(s) kept raising the bar, now 0.357 off which I'll try to match with a straight triple clamp, sort the (untouched) jetting and a 47T rear.
(And of course work on racecraft and more consistent laps)
Never got a chance to work on my bike with Race rounds and track days every few weeks, and so much travelling to the tracks 3-5 hours away.

Next year a State series 'might' be starting which will bring some really tough competition, so I'll be calling on you Ninjette guys to help in another thread.

Misti · October 17th, 2013, 10:12 AM

Not my most recent pic but one of my all time favourites

Coaching with the California Superbike School at Almeria Spain (one of best tracks I've ridden on).

jconolty · October 30th, 2013, 07:50 PM

No 250 pics until next year. One from Mid Ohio on the R6.

csmith12 · November 26th, 2013, 04:47 PM

See #816 behind you? That is a buddy of mine Brandon Schweitzer. What race was this?

ps. the keyhole rocks!

One of the Thrs WERA 600 races. We had fun racing in the AMA SS races, it was like a 5 bike battle Saturday, pretty awesome even if it was in the back of the pack.

csmith12 · November 26th, 2013, 05:12 PM

Yep, I was there watching. The lead pack lap times are getting plain silly at this point. lol

We were running slow that Saturday race because we were so bunched up. One person would get out of the gas in a turn and everyone would have to fan out or check up, great fun but slowed the group down some. Think we were all in the 34/35's the next day.

Snake · December 1st, 2013, 12:38 PM

I usually take some aspirin and a couple shots of tequila. I pass out and after I wake up several hours later I feel much much better.

Did a trackday with Ridesmart on November 16 at MSRC. This was my second track day. Need to buy a go pro so I can have a better look at my BP. The photographer isn't always around.

r6boater · December 10th, 2013, 05:10 PM

Draik this weekend at Jennings GP while taking the Jason DiSalvo Speed Academy... this is JD40 behind Draik in the photo...

+1 to Electric Eye Images, awesome guy, shook his hand and took pics of my own right beside him. That reminds me, I owe him a beer and most likely some $$ as well.

Yep, that was me! That was my first weekend with the 250 so was still getting used to it, I had a blast though.

I don't recognize that turn. Where on the track was it?

I was thinking west end horseshoe but I can't remember blue armco anywhere.

You are part of the reason why I am trailering my 250 back up this weekend. It needs some work, and likely a new frame so it will be a project bike for a bit.

Converting a street bike to track bike I'm guessing? They're stupid amounts of fun on the track, you won't regret it.

plato · December 30th, 2013, 09:20 AM

i wanted to see some 250s on tracks but all I see is super sports bikes

don't mind me, I'm just making my way up there, right now just stuck with a 250cc bike (baby steps

)

Sorry, still a newbie here. Now that I see the pictures again, I notice how they have been customized or at least not kept stock (lights removed to make it track friendly). They are 250 indeed
