Stimilon 2013

[csmutty]

I loved that right hand power robbing hill. That was my favorite part of the track. The bike just sang going up that hill!

[typeone]

mmm, SAND

[Paul_E_D]

Is that the 'Wick?

[typeone]

yup, left-hander heading up towards the tree.

[csmutty]

Anddd I got work off. I'm soooo there!

[Paul_E_D]

yup, left-hander heading up towards the tree.

Oh yeah, that's what I thought. That section gets sooooo sacked out!

[csmutty]

Oh yeah, that's what I thought. That section gets sooooo sacked out!

Even when it was sacked out I thought it was one of the more fun sections on track.

[Kurlon]

Niiiiice... I have a conversion kit worked out to put modern Yami wheels on the wreck. That means I could swing for a 19" rear to allow the use of that sweet Pirelli sand tire...

that pic really shows how the track works in through the day. bike + rider look tiny.

[csmutty]

I think we were all surprised how nice the track stayed last year for Stimilon though.

yes, for sure.

When the whoops get deeper than seat height, and holes develop that expose plumbing, you know it's Southwick. It's pretty hard to stay on the gas through there AND stay on the bike at the same time. My spine is tingling just thinking about it!

[Kurlon]

Just hope for a nice week of solid rain before hand, with a little drying time to really firm up the base like last year.

i'm OK through the section in the pic because you transition to slight uphill on the gas. it's the corner entry before, i come in way too slow for the length of the corner. which is weird because you're jamming down that jump face with speed.

think i cant pick a line and stick it each lap. in my head i'm like 'do i go out, or in' based on the line forming. frustrating.

i would love to practice at a figure 8 DEEP sandy spot. just rip 'em over and over and over. maybe at 413 cutting the track. just keep railing the big one if it's just us there.

After looking at that sand pic I am just glad i now know my bike has a hot start lever. Last year i had no idea. lol Crashing without know it exists was interesting.

[Paul_E_D]

Haha, well, the hot start wasnt any help to me...

[McBiggity]

Got a sitter. I will be trying to not be last in never ever and old 30c on the 12hp 150f

[Kurlon]

Aw yeah!

You want I should find a few hop ups for that 150f to 'even the odds'?

[McBiggity]

Sure. If they're free. My budget after entry fee is $7.34

[Kurlon]

You're not above working for your upgrades are you? MWahahahaha hahah.... hah...

I laughed out loud again, didn't I?

[McBiggity]

Creepy

[Paul_E_D]

That is some loooong range babysitter planning.

[Kurlon]

I'll see if I can find a CRF230F engine to accidentally swap in...

[McBiggity]

That is some loooong range babysitter planning.

That's what grandparents are for!!

[csmutty]

And I'm out again. Bitches can't commit.
