Title: First Time AT BHF - Supertwins
Post by: Hyperdyne_Racing on August 23, 2005, 01:42:14 PM
Giving CCS another go round.  Made the last round at Gingerman this last year, and was happy with the results.  

I have watched a few on board videos and the runoff is a little sparce...  But overall looks as though I could handle it.  Any advice from the veterans on running a TLR around the place?

Thanks
Ben

A TLR is still a motorcycle.  

Focus on where you want to be going.  I won't go into detailed comments on why people hit things that they do, but, often, it's because they stare at things and drive into them rather than actually looking where they are going or where they should be going.  

Gingerman has real issues with some corners and run off.  If you can handle that, BRF should be fine.

Gingerman is one of my favorite tracks, so we'll see how well I get along this weekend.  It doesn't look too terribly difficult to learn, even though I have been used to Alan Wilson tracks.  Hopefully the turnout will be good.. And BTW, my TLR is one of the better racebikes I have owned, so we'll see how well it does.  

Any indication on gearing selection, or would you consider a course like Grattan CC or Gingerman about par?

Your Gingerman gearing should work fine.

Turnout should be decent... unfortunately, there will most likely be many more bikes on the ULSB portion of the grid.
