T-bolt track day's on the 600 1:38's

[senecak19]

I heard Yammy644 ran a 12:38. Is that good?

Here's some data I collected last fall at a Tony's Track Day on Thunderbolt. This is from a slow guy (me) on an RS125.

The first graph, session 5, shows my times and speed profiles while riding in yellow group (intermediate). I was having a hard time establishing my marks and shift points on the RS125 due to having to brake earlier than necessary approaching most turns so I wouldn't illegally pass traffic. The best I did there was 1:59.109.

The following session, I bumped to blue (advanced) where the bigger bikes didn't brake so early and I did better: 1:52.716. Quite an improvement from the previous session! The next session, the engine seized and I got high-sided off the bike, ending my day. Had I been able to run a few more sessions at the advanced pace, I'm sure I could have dropped a few more seconds.

To sum it up, I would say a novice back-marker on an RS125 should be running at around 1:50-ish or better...

best I managed on my third day at Thunderbolt was a 1:43.9

I did a 1:37 something at a track day on my 636...or am I remembering wrong, Pete? (bastard kept beating me on that measly SV... not that we were competing or anything )

1:36.6 for me on Thunderbolt... not that I was keeping track or anything

[Kitt]

this was without the chicane on the front straight, probably?

[Tricklidz]

Couldn't get my laptimer to work for some reason....AND... I spent some time sliding down the track!!!

[CBR929RE]

there is no chicane on the front straight.

when I was there we didn't run the chicane that's right after T1 (lower left) but did run the next one (upper left).

[Tricklidz]

Does someone have a track map with the turns numbered??

If Pete did a 1:36.6, then I'm remembering right that I did a 1:37.1. That is using the second chicane...the one after T2 (What we call T3 chicane).

[Mr. Kurtz]

Pang's single best lap was a 1:42.5

Kitt, you should absolutely ask him if he remembers what mine was.

See you in 2 weeks.

Christian Cronin did a 25.4 on his R6.
Shane Narbonne did a 24.9 on his GSXR1000

1:31 gets you on the Daytona Sportbike grid
1:27 gets you on the American Superbike grid
1:32 gets you on the Supersport grid

That's the only numbers you should be thinking about Kittage

[rolker]

I'm glad to see I have plenty of room for improvement!

[Tricklidz]

See you in 2 weeks.

Two weeks? Was just there Sat /Sun.
Curious about corner numbers because everyone wass crashing in 4-5...but the org. was calling it 2-3??

[OreoGaborio]

but 5 is the tight left by the bleachers.

[Tricklidz]

Now that I've seen the map with numbered turns....I see that we crashed in turn 3

[Tricklidz]

Maybe that's the problem.....I have no idea where I am!!!

CONVERSATION OVER!!!

The numbers that we put on the turns were before anything was really running on the track... but we needed something to define areas.

For instance, I didn't see a reason to label the chicane 3 different numbers... easier for us to say (entry to the chicane, middle of chicane, or exit of chicane)

I know the corner workers in Jersey definitely have way more turns numbered.

Absolute had the same numbers but had the esses labeled 10/11 and the kink as 12
