just watched the video, then I thought about my own experience there

then this thought popped into my head "where the hell did the straightaway go?"

Floki · December 30th, 2014, 04:01 PM

Replaced my battery and the bike still won't start. I'm anticipating a hefty bill to fix it so I won't be able to ride with y'all. I would need new tires on top of whatever is wrong with the bike for it to be track-worthy. I might make a trip and skip school for the weekend to see everybody. Chris, don't buy any food for me, if I do go I'll get that figured out.

Will it try to turn over?

csmith12 · January 3rd, 2015, 11:19 AM

Apex here! And later, Floki (the black bike in the pic) did... and very well I might add.

Sirref · January 3rd, 2015, 11:33 AM

which turn is that? I want to say T6 but there weren't any pics there for photographer safety reasons

csmith12 · January 3rd, 2015, 11:36 AM

It's 11.

ally99 · January 3rd, 2015, 01:23 PM

11 was my other favorite.

Thinking about some grilled shrimp skewers as well, since I will have the lemon and butter out. hmmmm....

csmith12 · January 9th, 2015, 02:27 PM

I still has a bike for you if you manage to change your mind, let me know ahead of time or I'll only bring one with me for the sake of convenience hauling

alex.s · January 9th, 2015, 10:01 PM

i wish but after today there's really 0 chance of me making this one

Floki · January 10th, 2015, 12:02 AM

I can't make this trip either. They raised fees for school this semester and I can't take out more loans. They did the same thing last year. You take out loans for the entire year in the fall, then raise fees in the spring :/
Plus my bike is in the shop for who knows how long.

ally99 · January 10th, 2015, 02:49 PM

I'm out too.

Y'all have fun!

i just had an idea... we can ducttape a phone to your helmet and i'll skype call it, just wear the headphones and i can yell at you to go faster and brake less

alex.s · January 10th, 2015, 08:26 PM

oh ****. what if when racin' starts again we got live skype feed setup from chris and some of the other racers! i'd watch the **** out of that

Sirref · January 10th, 2015, 08:51 PM

I would also watch the **** out of that

You're welcome.

Any extra money I have has to, at this point, go toward my AT hike. I had budgeted enough for some other things to be thrown in there, but my medical bills put a kink in those original plans. I'm even cutting back my beer!

alex.s · January 11th, 2015, 12:17 PM

cutting back on beer??? blasphemy.

Sirref · January 11th, 2015, 02:07 PM

that's like me cutting back on red bull

I saved $560 in november and have saved thousands since as a direct result of drinking less red bull and more water

$560 worth of red bull a month? And your heart didn't explode?

Wow!

Wow!

This was a consistent energy drink habit that extended for something like 2+ years where I didn't go a day without an energy drink. The withdrawl from it was hell, and I still love me my energy drinks but I can't drink that much anymore now that I see how much I was spending on it and I know it's awful for my health.

basically I treated red bull like an engineer treats coffee, like the source of life

I should throw a red bull/monster sticker on my bike as they're practically sponsoring my track activities by me not drinking them anymore

Hey, I'm an engineer and I drink coffee! But usually only 2 cups per day...

I like the sponsorship idea!

Congrats on breaking the habit. Shocking.

Sirref · January 11th, 2015, 05:34 PM

Needing $$$ to get to the track is a hell of a motivating factor for me

the withdrawl symptoms lasted a week, that is to say a week of straight headaches. This from a guy who sold the local rite aid, 7-11, and royal farms gas station out of red bull at the same time (opening week of the restaurant I work at I worked for a little over 110 hours in one week so I had a lot of red bull that week)

csmith12 · January 12th, 2015, 10:38 AM

Gratz Ben, I am glad you are still coming. About 19 days now I believe.

You got everything squared away and ready? I am running behind on the new r6

but gunna make it with no problems.

Sirref · January 12th, 2015, 10:57 AM

I'm running behind on getting the new bike but worst case scenario I just bring the 250 and rip around on that again

I'm good to go

We gunna have a great time in novice one more time. I got some homework for you.

Take a few random laps from your video and mark the lap times but don't dwell on them so much, just make a note. Now... close your eyes and replay a lap in your head. Use a stopwatch if you need. Compare the times, memory vs. video. How far are they off? Which way + or -? If they are 30sec's + off, let's work on some visual skills and markers.

Also, lemme know which bike(s) you're bringing when you know for sure. I will change up as needed based on the bike your riding, but honestly... I don't see it working out much different. If you're bringing a 600, Jennings will somewhat feel like a new track for a session or two as you get your wits about you. For example; turn 2 feels much different on something with near 100hp.

We will cover more in the paddock.

Sirref · January 12th, 2015, 02:59 PM

The real question is, would turn 2 still be flat out on a 600

I will do that exercise multiple times between now and the time of the trip

But of course.

Best work up to that though, it's not for the timid.

oh for sure, even getting up to WOT on the 250 there was a trip

that corner is wildly deceptive in terms of the speed you can carry there, even being on a 250 I was never passed in turn 2 and gained on a few people there as well. But that was in novice where people are learning the speed they can really carry through corners

Just watched a few videos, best time was actually a 1:39

I'd say I did pretty well last trip off of that alone though the average time is a 1:44-1:46
