David is also faster then me as can be seen from our last race of the day where he took 4th place from me.
I intend to give him a run for his $ on the 18th of Feb though. I want to get a bigger rear sprocket (47 tooth...making it -1 +2) and working with an instructor to see what I can do to keep 4th place or even get 3rd back. I may even run some laps with David to see what lines he is running...but that will mean he will get to see my lines too.
I don't think I have to do the rookie race. I did one in Arizona. :)Quote:

Win it? I just want to finish it upright.

It's free tracktime, it gets you more familiar w/ how things work at NHIS and..... well it's free tracktime :D Good for the experience. If i had the choice, i'd do it again.
Do it if you can. Go down to the Penguin garage early, tell them your situation, that you JUST got your license elsewhere but haven't raced at NHIS yet & they'll add you to the list.
Just don't let Mike Martire pull you "offsides" at the start :D
Cool, I was hoping I could run it. Thanks for the tip. :DQuote:

Welcome to NESR Shadow Racer!
You gotta admit the thing was eating up the Batteries that weekend. :D
Yeah, yeah. I know. The guys on SBN call her Skittles. I even have some of the people at the track calling her that.
It makes it easy for my wife to find me on the track for pictures. I did notice as well the track photographers took a lot more pictures then when I was just on a single color bike.
Hey, Mike did you get that other race vid I sent to you and did you put it up?... It wasnt anything major but something to look at.
SV that would be the correct location on a normal day but with the temps and the rain that day...being in the location you suggested would be a sure way to cause a low side.Quote:

Im not knocking his advise. But on a normal day you would see people in that spot that he mentioned but with the rain and surface temp about 40ish that wouldnt be a good idea.
Didn't think you were knocking him. Just thought I would make you aware of the breadth of knowledge here. :)

Nope I am back in Vermont. I will check out that thread. Got a link?
Here ya go Mike. How is the weather? It has been getting up to 80 degrees around here. Hopefully it will stay that way for the races next weekend.
