    The 1985 Double nearly killed Spencer and he never left the track!

    Actually that's pretty common.

    Here is a close-up of my tire in turn 9, not accelerating hard, and I am slow as hell.

    It's just how they look.

    Rossi needs his own custom tires, the dude's insane.

    I had no idea they all did that, but I guess I should have known that's how everyone was getting more lean angle than me . Time to push a little harder I guess!

    True, but "slow" is a relative thing... I'm sure you get it done out there nicely.
