Things i need to work out

I'm just making this list to sort of get my gears turning in my head.  It will give me things to mull over when i'm not racing and by the time i get out on the track again i'll know i need to work on these things without even thinking about it.



-smoother on the brakes and downshifting into T2, probably a combination of stock/soft suspension and riding a twin but that doesn't mean i can't try to be perfect about it.

-slow down through T4 on street tires...they aren't meant to have that much lean angle or heat put through them...really i just need race tires and warmers

-push harder through T8

-better drive into and out of turn 7...maybe cut a tighter exit line from T6 which would let me cut through T7 a bit and then really hammer on the throttle up into 8

-harder out of turn 8

-push a little harder through T2 once i get my suspension worked out



these things i know for a fact will cut about 5 seconds or more out of my times.  I can't really push much harder through 3-4, in fact for my current set up I think i'm over riding my bike through T4 which is why i keep crashing there...and i know it's not cause i'm unsmooth...i'm very aware when I make mistakes with throttle control and lines.  My line through T4 is very tight and neat cause it's a corner i can actually push through with stock suspension.



Anyways...this list is sure to grow as I continue to push myself and my machine

Got something to say?
