I have been wasting a lot of valuable track time “joy-riding” and not focusing on the things I need to do to improve. In an effort to progress more quickly, I am going to start writing plans of attack before track events. I thought it would be cool to have a thread for like-minded riders to share their plans/objectives, provide feedback, and reflect on events after the fact. If nobody else is into it then I will continue doing this offline. Racers welcome.
TTD 7/28, NHMS
Objective - 1:30 Lap time
More corner speed
Enter corners faster than feels “comfortable”Use more lean angle to compensate, don’t worry about blowing a few cornersQuicker turn-inDelay turn-inHard bar input/try pulling on outside barLoose mid-corner, no subsequent inputsUse the knee as a gaugeTurning leftDrop head/shoulders, get the knee out and downTurning rightGet ass off the seat moreChange grip on throttle, hold like paint brushDrop head/shoulders, get the knee out and downLEAN IT OVERT2 and T12Support more weight on the outside peg, lift up a bit and let the seat come up to me
Better drives out
More shifting – figure out shifting between 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11Twist it – throttle open as soon as lean angle is reduced
Nail down reference points
134-611
Pass more
Don’t hesitate to pass on the outside or late on the brakes2, 6 and 9 on the outside1 and 3 on the brakes11?
Don’t get distracted by faster riders
If someone is pulling away, use my plan, but be more precise and enter corners fasterLook at reference points, not directly at the faster rider
