Cool pic and looks like you're doin' werk.

Someone brought a drone to the track

Sirref · August 14th, 2014, 08:26 AM

^ my god that track is so flat

lookin good though you could probably get your upper body down more (not sure if high handlebars are the cause of this) you will be amazed how much more relaxed you are on the bars when your outside arm is resting on the tank.

I was a bit worried about the kick stand mount still on the bike. I hope to get another track day at Shenandoah before the end of the season. I saw a few 250s out there while I was there.

I also crash in the carousel later that day. My friend Brian also crashed his CBR in the third session, the only time he rode the CBR that day. He lost the rear on some oil on the track.

From my final race weekend of 2014. Managed two podiums and ended up third in the 250 class even though I joined the 250 class late in the season.
Something is up with that rear, that's 26 psi hot

Seems kind of low to me, but that also looks like a SuperCorsa rear, so it could require different pressures than what Im used to. On the track/racing, I run a Rosso II rear at 28 cold, which usually ends up being around 30 hot.

#19 · October 2nd, 2014, 03:01 PM

it is a supercorsa. it seems to feel fine, but it looks f'd up

my final 250 race of 2014

Sidewall grip!!!!

sharky nrk · October 3rd, 2014, 06:35 AM

That rear is getting hammered with the 250 POWWWAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, great pic though, I wouldn't worry much about it if it felt fine.

#19 · October 3rd, 2014, 08:02 AM

Not really "worried" just think it doesn't look "right" so maybe it could be even "better"

"lol"

green_bread · October 3rd, 2014, 08:04 AM

Got some decent pics from Chuck Hanna and "A Borrowed Image Photography" at Heartland Park last month:

Nice. Main is awesome.T4, T6 and T10 are my favorite turns on that track. T4 and T10 separates the men from the boys. Lol. Have you ridden at main before? What were your thoughts?

This was my first time at main and first time at any other track then shenny, i didnt think it would be much fun since shenny has 22 and main has 10 but i was wrong and wont judge a track just by the number of turns it has. Couldnt top out on the straight but i was able to get to 102 and it was just fun being able to wot like 80% of the whole track and only actually use the brakes for 2 turns

burningscooter · November 6th, 2014, 01:31 PM

@Old Lemon very nice man. Glad to hear you had fun and got the opportunity to really ring out that 250. Main isnt as unique as Shenny, but as Ive said in a previous post, that track gets very technical once you get up to speed. Stay safe and get back out to main.

Sirref · November 12th, 2014, 01:46 PM

From Jennings GP I have made leaps and bounds, Was dragging knee a bit in turn 5-6 after I stopped braking for 3 but the photographer can't get there due to safety reasons.
