Looks like a nice way to wast a set of tires.

Appreciate the kind words everyone. I was feeling pretty good out there and hope to carry that momentum into the two track days I have this coming weekend... then it's a long fucking winter until first race weekend

Yeah... not sure if it's the way my suit fits or just the position of the velcro on the legs but it's a little weird... I had been meaning to move them around a bit. I'll check it out next time.

I also have stock gearing, which I need to change. Amount of shifts may increase in that case lol

That's one of the ones I ordered, son. I'm hoping they show up this week and I'll post them up.

Thanks for the tip... this is one of the things i KNOW I need to work on... basically my braking into turns 1, 3, and 6, and my drive out of 2, 3/4, 10, 12 are where I really need to pick up some time.

I still need to get over my fear of highsiding... I've almost done it a handful of times, and it sets me back.

The main thing I need to do when I start racing in the spring is not be such a vagina. We'll see how that goes...

It's not a waste if you're having the time of your life

Plus, I only use the edges, so I can sell them with a bunch of meat in the middle to street riders and recoup some of my money

Only the Squids will buy my take-offs. Its hard to find a straightaway around here more than a 1/2 mile long. Most Guys need the edge.
