In case anyone has mercifully given up on that thread from the general forum:
I'd like to know if any of you (that have actually raced/crashed/gotten hurt/gotten hurt feelings/gotten older and smarter/have a wife or kids) have what I'll call "micro-strategies" for minimizing risk while racing, even if specific to Loudon.
In other words, after thorough rider and bike prep, safety equipment, training, practice, and after acknowledging the real dangers to your health, equipment, finances, and family, are there any more specific strategies that make you feel safer?
possible examples?:
- pay extra attention to complaints about erratic riders, look for poorly prepped bikes, make sure you know who they are
- " go to work on Monday", "relax, have fun" etc. taped to gas tank
- don't take a braking duel deep into T3 if you're on the outside
- try to be patient and smart, let the race come to you
- don't try to take that motard's crazy line
I may be am delusional, but it seems like there must be some interesting advice out there, whether related to a specific corner, passing strategy, or even just mindset.
