I remember helping Eric set that up, "all day" in the pouring rain to get it right.... while is basically sucked at least it worked.
And then there was the tight Turn 10... hard right onto the nascar track.. I personally hated that always ran wide and those cones hurt!

That vid is sick... wheelies, backing it in at 5:10, 4 gear wheelie at 6:20, going hard on corner entry... great riding.
I'm not sure "what they were thinking" but that track looks like a friggin' blast!
Bike looks like fun too... seems like it has a slipper clutch.

You wouldn't think a beefcake like yourself would be a fan of the point and shoot fast transition areas...
Re: What were they thinking? - Ascari track Spain
We rode tight 10 for a couple motard races during the prior season....after lap 1 or 2 we ALL straight shotted it through the grass every lap :rockon:

You don't like the current T1???
Re: What were they thinking? - Ascari track Spain
It's awful compared to the last iteration IMO. it has a 15mph slower apex and that curbing that you can't get anywhere near with any serious lean angle.

depends on the line. if youre racing , then yes, the new T1 is slower because its tighter. if youre doing a TD and dont have to be concerned with losing a place by leaving the door wide open on the inside, then you can take a much wider approach and carry some serious corner speed through there
and now that ive seen a video from Ken of barber, there is a chicane that you cut. its only one side though. but its downhill and on the brakes i believe.
Re: What were they thinking? - Ascari track Spain
FYI, it's 15 mph slower at it's BEST, regardless of line.

I haven't watched the video with Ken, but the chicane at Barber is really for the cars I think. For me, the fastest line is to go over the curbing because the extra turn takes out too much momentum for the downhill righthander.

You spent all day setting it up... then we spent all weekend hitting, and moving the sections of air fence. My white leathers has blue stained knees after that weekend.
