nice, interesting how the top speed is only 138. Was pretty sure I got the r6 higher than that and I know you're exiting the keyhole much quicker than I do

Thank you. Here is a video showing how fast I was going at all points (via gps, not speedo).

Oh nice lowcel!

I got 3 things for you;

Can you push your braking marker deeper into turn 7?
Can you carry more speed through 7?
How are you not near 120mph through thunder valley? What gear you in on entry to turn 11 and what do you think is causing the slow down for the entry of 12?

I'm working on braking later into 7. I'm actually braking a little later every track day. I'm sure I could carry a little more speed through there, I could probably carry more speed everywhere.

I generally brake right after turn 12. I believe I had some traffic at that point. I'll check another lap when I get home. I doubt I ever get near 120 (on GPS) at that spot. I don't even hit 120 on the front straight. The fastest I have ever hit on the back straight is 138.1. My bike doesn't have tons of speed.

lowcel · September 24th, 2014, 12:59 PM

Forgot, turn 11 I'm in third and I shift up to forth then back to third at around the 300 - 250 mark. I was taking turn 11 in second and doing two up shifts but I seem to be doing better this way.

If you check my lap timer my optimum time would have been almost .4 seconds faster than my best time. I probably lost that time going into 12 due to traffic.

Hellmutt · September 26th, 2014, 07:56 PM

Congrats Lowcel! Once my suspension gets some love, I'd LOVE to see low 1:50's at MidO! I'm struggling to stay under 2:00. My chubby 14's current setup feels like it is just bagging in the tighter turns if I'm trying to keep corner speed up. Probably G'ing out? Anyway, preload and dampening both need some serious attention for next season, then I can work on better overall control and chop some time. I know the bike isn't an ideal track weapon, but for now it's worth working with.

csmith12 · October 7th, 2014, 08:49 PM

@lowcel gunna need some more congrats. Somebody gunna do alot of mid-o days next season.

They sent out one a bit ago that was all "thanks everyone for the good season, thanks to those who came out for rider appreciation day, yadda yadda, congrats to Lowcel for winning the grand prize, a free year of riding".

Something like that.

EDIT: it was sent 3 days ago, reads, "On behalf of the entire team at The Mid-Ohio School, we wanted to pass along our thanks for another great season of Performance Track Riding. It's been a great season for PTR and we were pleased to see so many familiar faces at the track over the course of the summer.

An extra special thank you goes out to everyone who braved the weather on Tuesday and came out to celebrate PTR Appreciation Day for a free day of riding." and then continues on to congratulate you.

Congrats!!! I think they are scared your going to buy the track (they never saw you before and then suddenly your there 10xs). So, if they give you free time you will spend all your money on a bike and upgrades.
