    Depends on your pace and gearing. Just ride the track and try to keep your revs up. After a few laps you will develop a habit.

    As am I, see ya there! The prospect of 6th gear is exciting! Keep an eye out for the blue/primer/yellow SV650.

    Yes, it is. Keith Draghi recognized it as well. Bought it from him at the last Tony's in Jersey.

    i ran 14/44 there and i was OK. if i was gonna race there i might go down a tooth or 2 in there rear.
    i cant remember if i downshifted 1 or 2 into T1. i want to say 1 though
    down 1 into the bleacher turn then back up 1 on the way out
    down 1 into the right hander that tightens up and then back up into 6th while going through the Ss before the bridge.
