I know I could pick up at least 2 more seconds there just need to figure it out. If I could get passed the pucker factor I'm thinking I could trail brake in. I did the math and with a 25.6 tall tire and 3:42 gears at 6200 rpm I'm doing close to 140 mph before turn one. I'm hoping the adjustments to my alignment are going to help me next time out.

I don't know how bikes compare but we were using as much track as possible to the right (crossing the pit exit line) to get the angle on the apex and drifting to the cushion on the exit, straight speeds sound similar in the 140's and turning in at 90-100 and on the gas through the apex. It's a scary fast turn in on a bike.
Just for comparison if there is any - My weak corners on the bikes were carrying good speed through 2, the off-chamber 3 due to the surface on the inside line, nailing 4 to get drive up to the Cyclone then braking hard enough and timing the turn in, exiting 5 tight enough to properly hit 6 which allows you to nail 7, lack of balls to pin it through 8 (berm phobia), braking into 10 due to elevation changes, 11 is testy technical, cutting 12 a given :woot: , and 14-15 with the seam was my weakest corner period, I was never statisfied with the amount of drive I obtained out of 15. |
