cool vids Greg.
One tip you may try next time at Daytona.. TONS more gearing. On the big bike 5th through T4 leaned over as you come of the banking onto the superspeedway, then grab 6th way down the straight. Will perhaps use 1st gear in 1 and the horseshoes but your leaving many MPH on the fast parts of the track. And what do we say about racing the track? go fast in the fast parts.. Ya may give up a smidge in the infield (actually if you just use lower gears there you won't) but you can use 6th as an overdrive and im sure you would have shot right back by Mavros when he passed ya. Nice job holding him off after ya got by in the IH but you have a lot of HP you could utilize for more mph. Awesome job on the brakes..made up lots of ground on em there. Some tips through and after the back chicane and were to go through nascar 3-4 but i can't post all my tips 8)

Thanks Greg, I'll try that next time.  Thanks to the GPS, I know that my optimal lap is a 1:52.9 and my best so far is a 1:53.8. So, a lot of consistency to handle.  Maybe with your tips and some consistency, I'll even get to the 51s.

actually, only 1 second off your true best vs. the GPS optimal (best of various sectors) is pretty darn consistant riding. Just gotta pick a bit up everywhere but i really think more mph from gearing at that track will be instant lower lap time. Anal Halaz shaved off 2 seconds in 1 session when i told him to go to the 18t front sprocket.

I was wondering how he got faster from the Superstock to the GP race

My advice is boundless but not cheap.. :biggrin: got lots more where that came from! JK. Keep at it, but better line choice from the back chicane on will save ya another 1/2 second or more.

LOL.. You got it, but i think it won't be long before you will be right there or passing me.  :cheers:

Thank you!  "Too old, too fat and too slow."  My dad used to say that a lot.  I didn't believe it then, I don't believe it now. :)
