21/22 race/wood reports?

**Kitt** · 07-23-07, 07:10 AM

no wood for me, except for the one I got when I got into the 24's. What's slow to most of you guys is fast for me, and it means i'm improving so i was happy.

got 5th in GTO, they trophied 4... got 6th in MWGP, they trophied 5 haha.

edit: my weekend index was .558, I think my first weekend average over .500

**TheIglu** · 07-23-07, 07:27 AM

2nd place, AM Production Twins.

Back down into the 24's for me!

Also set the fastest lap of the class. One more lap and it woulda been a solid first. Next time!

**McBiggity** · 07-23-07, 07:35 AM

no wood for me either.
but had a great time on the SV. got down into the 24's.
not bad for limited seat time on that bike.
can't wait for august

**BMFR6** · 07-23-07, 07:38 AM

took a third in AM GTL. weekend went as planned. do as well as possible while not crashing on shagged tires.

**Pittenger5** · 07-23-07, 08:14 AM

No wood for me, but it was easily the best weekend Ive had up there. Saturday, not so good, bad practice, in LWSM passed Darrell and Tony into 1 or on the straight, was determined not to let them get me in 3, went in WAY too hot, ended up in the gravel, popped back on the track what I thougth was off the racing line, turns out closer to the line than I thought and of course Darrell was coming right then, fortunatly he avoided me, sorry about that one man, something didnt feel right so I pitted, my first DNF.
Sunday on the other hand, good practices, GTO I did well, beat a GXR 600 and 1000, I dont care if they're newbs that made me feel good. And the race of my life, lining up in PTwins next to my boy Dan who borrowed Claytons EX, we owe you big for that one man. Battled the entire race, hed pass me, Id pass him, about 5 times. He ended up beating me by .2 of a second, so I will never hear the end of it. Managed to get a lap of 1:32.5 which is a full 2.5 seconds off my best at the start of the weeekend. All in all, it was a great weekend.

No that was freakin Awesome, Me and Pittener were the only ones in that race as far as I was concerned.

I did a 1:33.4 I think, on a Bike I never rode Before. I had no idea where to shift or Brake. not bad for For only doing 2 laps in practice ever. I was freakin Hard Down shifing into turn 1 No engine braking at all I thought I hit nuetral. Also when I would break hard the throttle would still be on WTF.
My best race ever.

If that hawk does not get fixed my next weekend I will buy an EX definitly.

Mongoose 1
Pittenger 0

At the time I said that Pittengers best lap time was 1:35.4

Mission accomplished

**RyanNicholson** · 07-23-07, 12:59 PM

3rd Place - Am MW Supersport (new personal best at 1:16.5)
2nd Place - Am HW Superbike
1st Place - Am MW Superbike
DNF - Am HW Supersport

I felt so good this weekend about my riding, everything felt fast, controlled, loose, and just gratifying. Then in my last race I was in 2nd place on the 3rd or 4th lap and closing on the guy in 1st fast....I came out of T2 and my rear end slid just a hair and before I knew it i was in the worst tank slapper i've ever imagined and it rocketed me right into the wall. I didn't go down somehow, and i was back over T4 by the time i realized anything was wrong w/ the bike and I pulled over and parked it before T6.

Ended up cracking the right side case cover so it was spitting a little oil, bending the pipe and destroyed my subframe. The tail never even touched the wall, it was just my bodyweight from the impact that bent/broke it.

I was really bummed about it, cuz I felt so clean and smooth all weekend and it ended on a pretty bad note. Oh well, at least i'm fine....bikes can be fixed.

hope everyone had a fun/successful/safe race weekend!

3rd in AM ULSB, set a new personal best time of 1:21.6. If I hadn't nearly gone over backwards at the green flag, I would've done alot better. Oh well. I'm still psyched about my progress! See you all out there soon!

**deeto** · 07-24-07, 12:41 PM

3 woodies out of 4 races.

3rd HWSS
2nd GTU - might have had 1st if the race hadn't red flagged.
3rd MWGP

After 11 races my index is approx .85 so I'll be bumping to Am for next weekend.

that's some serious index! congrats man...

did you have track experience prior?

**deeto** · 07-24-07, 02:13 PM

thanks guys!

Hey Kitt, I did some TD's last year on the R6. I did some TD's the previous year as well but was on my old YZF600R at the time.

I ran behind you for a few laps during the races this weekend. You're moving pretty damn good out there man. Great job with the new paint too. Those green stars on your undertail are very cool. I kept staring at them lol

**Kitt** · 07-24-07, 02:43 PM

good... it worked haha... j/k

thanks... I felt like I'm still progressing. I'd LOVE to see a 23 or 22 next race weekend. I could have a better line through 1 and 1A, and brake a little later/carry more speed through 6.

I spent time watching the experts in 10-12, and realized I can put more faith in the asphalt there than I have been...

PS... anybody have a track map I can have? can't find one anywhere.

**RyanNicholson** · 07-24-07, 02:54 PM

theres a track map on the CCS website CCS/ASRA - Welcome!

they also have them in the media center at the track i believe

**Kitt** · 07-24-07, 03:10 PM

http://www.ccsracing.com/venues/maps/loudontrackmap.pdf

found that one...

I just don't get what's going on between 10 and 12 haha... a lot more than 2 turns (11, 11a)

**RyanNicholson** · 07-24-07, 03:14 PM

haha thats pretty funny, i never noticed that

**BMFR6** · 07-24-07, 03:28 PM

well done dave. Nice to see you as an AM now.

**PPS26** · 07-24-07, 04:34 PM
