    Yup. And I was using the brakes for 9 back when I was doing 16's, too.

    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.
    Bull fucking shit. I am braking for T9 and my front still pushes on entry.

    Haiii Brett!

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    See my post about T8. Do that, and you'll be braking hard into T9. If you aren't needing brakes there on a 600, I'm guessing that you are holding steady throttle from 7-9 as opposed to actually getting to the stops and accelerating all that way or else you are rolling off and coasting over the top.

    Not a fan of 8. I used to make up a lot of time through there. Since I crashed twice there i've slowed down though. Both times I felt like I was in complete control which makes it hard to get past as I cant find a reason for it. I used to drag my knee too but now I will just skim it every now and then.

    theres some bumps/ripples in the pavement through there, so its pretty easy to do something minor in there like roll off the gas a little early, too much bar input, or even transitioning a little early will upset the chassis and cause you to lose the front

    Yup. I've done exactly that on two different occasions. Pretty "interesting" when you feel the front wash out at over 100mph.

    I would say my favorite is also Turn 6 "The Bowl" but I do enjoy braking late into Turn 9 and pushing through the crowd.

    Knee what? No idea what that experience would feel like.

    There is a kickin' soundtrack. We're talking Kenny Loggins caliber here.

    Dreams of the track? Really?

    I have a life that extends beyond riding at NHMS that most users on here get to use for less than 17 days a year.

    I love 9-10. I was afraid of it my first few track days, but now it's become my favorite section of the track.

    3 on the other hand is definitely a weakness for me. I'm still pretty afraid of it. Things to work on in the 2013 season!
