Subject: June 13th 2-Fast TrackDay Report
Conditions:
Rained through about 10AM, then let up. The first session was a rain session, the 2nd a transition session, and after that was pretty dry. Got better each session of the day.
Track Changes:
Apparently today was the first day anyone got to ride on the “new” bus-stop. The whole area has been repaved and the paving significantly expanded. 2-Fast had about 100 cones to replicate the old bus stop. The pavement is brand-new, so potentially a bit greasy, especially when wet. It felt a bit smoother and faster to me.
I wonder how likely the config is going to stay the same for WMRRA stuff, and if it doesn’t, if Sully’s record will fall as a result?
Otherwise, the day was pretty smooth. Very few crashes and red flags. I only saw 2, and the first one lasted less than 5 minutes. I only saw one yellow.
Had a great time riding around with Jim, Larry, Keri, Andrew, Steve, Doug, and Scott. Picked up some pace during the day, and a little more feel, so it was a very fun and successful day.
Still, doesn’t leave many stories to report unless you want to hear how I was passing folks here and there, went wide in T2 twice, but finally remembered not to panic and to look through the turn to get it, and got a bit faster and smoother through T5-7, and turned inside an instructor on T2 in the R/100 level (a no-no)…
