Bingo........ the last two pics... (while the sit up is extreme - more like Greenwood's style)
First Derek has good fast corner speed.... but wants to go quicker through the turns.
T2.
Derek was turning-in quick enough and at about the right spot - but at and just after the APEX he was right on the edge of the tire....so much so that I backed off a bit and hoped he would not crack the throttle more......
Derek's style is extreme aggressive lay down -but is so low that he is laying on the tank – in the pits I positioned him on the bike higher but still like MOTOgp shots… even raising up 4 or 5 inches felt weird as he is now so use to the lay down position.
There are definitely two different styles as outlined in this pic I took in t6 a couple of years back of the Wood brothers….. Eric is up higher and at the last moment even tilts his head over more (not shown) to get the 10-15lbs out and off the bike even further. You can see the more upright style rider just before an Apex lean their upper body off further to help “bend” the bike throught the turn… this is where the knee into the tank comes into play.
I was trying to postion Derek higher, into the postion of Jeff (behind) that's how low he was....There is such a thing as being too low...
Derek, in scanning John Owens pics at th etrack there were a coiupe of shots of you (in T9) i think that shows you in the super low spiderman position:-)....
