    lol. Highsides USUALLY occur when you add throttle AND lean simultaneously. In other words, you are past the apex, on the gas, and still trying to finish the turn instead of standing the bike up and letting it run to the outside of the track. I T12, that is the wall. I understand that this is why people try to tighten up after the apex, but it's safer to actually hit the wall than it is to tight your line on the apron IMO.

    I can help with that, swing by my pit area before your next session and I'll mod your brakes to prevent that from ever happening again. Free of charge!

    What always gets me with NHMS numbering is 5 getting a number and the transition between 2 and 3 not.

    12/12a makes more sense than 11/11a

    the letter after the turn doesnt make any sense to begin with it should be 1-2-3-4-etc
    1-1a is plain stupid
