Re: LWSB round 2 (AKA Doucette's ass video)
This is exactly why I stopped posting videos. People started telling me they watched them and knew where to pass me.
Looks great Pete, are you hitting the bump in 10 and those new front suspenders are soaking it up that well or are you avoiding it?

The new Ktech suspension that I got from PK is friggin amaaaaazing. It smoothed out SO much of the track, but I'm not sure there's any suspension in the world that can completely soak up T10 completely, so there's a foot wide gap that I shoot for that's pretty smooth. 6" to the left? Big bump. 6" to the right? Big bump.
There were a few laps this weekend where I had to change my line a little and a couple of times I hit that sinkhole about as bad as you can hit it. I thought the bike was gonna go airborn. It bucked like a sunuvabitch but smoothed out super quickly.

Great video Pete, way to hang with the legend himself. SUCKS about the missed shift. Racing at that level is its own world, one that I hope to enter someday (soon). The slightest mistake and you lose a spot...thats gotta be awesome =)

Obviously this is personal choice. I still post my videos and if people use them to beat me it only means that I need to up my game and try harder. I totally understand the other side however, I struggle with it now that I am actually closing on real speed in the mw brackets.

God I know exactly what you mean. I manage to get it wrong at least a few times every race weekend and hit that thing dead nuts. You would swear that the bike is going to flip.

I probably pay too much attention to what Eric does, but you never see him post a video or offer data (GPS or otherwise) to any of his competitors (or the public where they could get it)

What do you mean? In the school? I've taken the school plenty of times and I've never seen Eric's telemetry.
Re: LWSB round 2 (AKA Doucette's ass video)
Pretty sure that was a (bad :twofinger) joke.
I can't imagine anyone sees Eric's data but Eric himself and whoever he's working with to help him go faster. I know there are very few people that I'd share that kinda data with. Hell, I've even been known to tell some good friends & fellow racers that I'm not helping them anymore once they get to certain times. :lmao:
Of course that's mostly tongue in cheek............ mostly ;)
Re: LWSB round 2 (AKA Doucette's ass video)
If anyone's getting faster off my videos, more power to them. They can base off me to learn how to have horrible, horrible starts. :D In the mean time, I'm getting great feed back on ways I can improve so I'm going to continue to post them.
Re: LWSB round 2 (AKA Doucette's ass video)
Good. You post, I'll watch. 1st place GTL here I come!
