    So, just HOW fast can one go through the oval on a motorcycle?

    I'm trying to do a video of that lap vs one of similar time through the chicane, so you can see...

    Here is the comparison to a lap, which was .149 seconds slower. It did hurt a little going through the Nascar oval, but I managed to collect myself to make a decent lap of it. Keep in mind that I ran through the moist grass at 50mph and managed not to slip up:

    For those who don't know (or really give a fuck), Michael W (Painfully Slow) coined the nickname because we were laughing at a joke a while back and he said I looked like Sam the Snowman from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer when I laugh, because I squint. The nickname just stuck around the pits.

    So what you're saying is, when the grass is wet, you're a straight shooter but get through there quickly. TMI.
