Love Love Love knee down through T8. I really like the speed and the transition through T9

I struggle with 12A.

This. I love hauling balls through 8. Its a good mix of scared and fun. Its adrenaline filled and makes you go "WHOOOOO!" in your helmet.

[csmutty]

You guys drag knee in 8? Holy eff.

[OreoGaborio]

Only if I hang it out there. I'm sure you could scuff a puck there if you stuck your knee out.

[Tricky Mike]

Yeah, I love getting 7-8-9 right... knee into the grass in 7, little bit of headshake on the gas up the hill, little knee skim in 8, and the dive into 9. That's the crack cocaine right thurr.

+1 its not as hard as it sounds. Kind of like dragging your hand for the first time. Once you do it you know how easy it is.

Now that I think about it I dont think I shift my body to the right for 8.

Yep. Sure is.

It helps to be taller than average.... But yeah. Nothing heavy just a light skip. Gives me that woofuckinghoo feeling.

[Paul_E_D]

Most definitely. 6,7,8,9,to the bump in 10 is the best feeling. I get way forward and over the front so I can crest the hill in 8 WOT without losing the front. I often drag the top of my knee instead of the slider because of this body position adjustment.

Good food for thought...lets make sure this thread gets re-bumped at the beginning of next season.

[SVRACER01]

freddie hates ALL corners. they are in the way of the finish line

that's probably pretty accurate since he does have to win every track day.

Jim's least favorite turn? T5.

She's an elusive beast.

[The Snowman]

Don't have a favorite. I love the whole track. If I had to choose, I'd say T3, because if you get it right it's awesome.

I love outbraking someone there and slipping in just outside the rumble strip.

[carsick]

Why am I afraid of 7? Because it 8 my bike. Disgruntled with my unexpected (only by me) tankslapper between 7-8. Love 3 because she is a capricious woman, difficult to understand but worth it on the rare occasion you do. Any corner that lets me pass with late braking is cool- 1,3,6,9,11.

I've had a big tank slapper between 7-8 before. I even made Oxx shit his pants. still my favorite section of the track.

if you're braking for 9 then you're going too slow. just back off the throttle and tip it in.

[OreoGaborio]

if you're not braking for 9 then you're going too slow from 6 through 8.

Fixed.

[CBR929RE]

Fixed.

backing off the throttle and turning in is enough to slow it down.

only thing holding me back from going faster through there is chatter. well that and slowing down too much for 6. but for people around my speed I'm pretty good through 9.

Yeeeahhhhhh, no it's not. Not at race pace.
