Thanks Boss,
I didn't time myself at the trackday but it was the BMW day and I was in the yellow group by the end of the day.
Just to give an idea, Maybe Ken C has an Idea of how fast that group was running.

Errr. No. More like 40-45 for your 'average' trackday rider on a Hawk. Most Novice Hawk racers are in the 26-36 range for Racetimes.Quote:

I believe my wife was running about 1:50 in the RED group at the BMW date.
That was about mid pack. Red was probably in the 1:45 to 2 minute range.
My guess is that Yellow at the BMW dates is in the 1:40 to 55 range.
Blue is probably in the 1:30 to 40 range
At our regular events, it's more like:
1:20 to 1:30 is Blue
1:30 to 1:40 is Yellow
1:40 to 1:55 is RED
These are just estimates since NO TIMING IS ALLOWED!
:poke:
at a trackday sure... but step it up to racing & after a few races i'm sure you'd be under 40's in no time, don't ya think? :dunno:Quote:

The way you worded it Bored at Work Boy makes it sound as thou you are talking about Trackdays on a Hawk and the times you would be running (30-35 as you said). To which I said 'nay'.Quote:

Seeing as how you were apparently refering to your first weekend of RACING and how a average trackday rider could do 30-35... isn't that exactly what I said in my post. Numbnutz.

Thanks for that Tony. I really had no clue as to what the times were I was just having a blast and didn't care, that is until I started to get the racing bug.Quote:

I was running my Hawk, First trackday and I certainly wasn't "killin it" :)
Just trying to learn the line and be smooth, the quickness will come.
agree to agree then, shall we? :DQuote:

I did 1:19's on the older config. that was about 1.5-2.0 seconda slower. I had both a 700 and a 750 NT 650. I could beat the Duc ss750's of the day that made 85 hp on my 75ish Hawk. I bet I could do a 1:17 on that bike today.Quote:

:hellyeah:
You were a Novice at the time? Congrats.
Since 1999 the fastest a Hawk has gone around Loudon is 1:19.0 by Tom Barry in 2004. He did it twice.
Personally I think/know they are capable of more. If a SS SV can do mid 18's, then a SB Hawk can to. I'm pretty positive Jeff can do a 15 on my bike. Gonna let him try later in the year.
I was Expert, and the years were '94 & '95. A 1:19 in 1999 is like a 1:20-1:21 now
Resurrecting this thread.
So I am looking at $220 for the Penguin school. Plus $110 plus entry fees for as many races as I want...
Looking at a 3 day weekend of about $500. With a prepped bike and minimal expenses.
Does that sound right?
The next weekend will just be entry fees and paddock fees right?
What is a 3 day trip to VIR gonna cost? With the race school down there.
Where do I get White (not yellow) number plates? and numbers. When do you get your number and can you choose it? (three digit right?)
I need to go read the rule book.
Call me I can only type 11dybillion words/min...........
