Great video Greg....Awesome job on the brakes! You were able to close down nice on Charlie. Looked like you really put your head down for that last lap.


And Melka, kinda nice your not racing right now...Please feel free to throw out more advice. How bout Homestead? Anything?       I know...I know it will cost me..lol  I hired Marco Martinez to attend a track day with me and be my personal coach for the day. But sadly I lost the front on my 1k in turn 2 at JGP and had no bike to finish the season or the track day.

I do some coaching and do enjoy it, however it is more difficult during a race weekend. When there is a friday track day prior to a race weekend that works well. I am not sure if i will be ready for Dec . homestead but hope to be racing at the Feb homestead race.
Homestead.. no 6th gear. (tip of the day)

So I should have it geared as to not use 6th gear at all during the whole track? What kind of gearing would that be on an r6?

"Homestead - no 6th gear" meant no 6th gear... anywhere..LOL. Just tappin the top of 5th on the front as you bend it down to the transition. I can't tell you what gearing you would need for sure. All depends on how good of a drive your getting out of the final chicane onto the front banking. What would work for a rider on an r6 pounding out some low 28's would not likely work for another rider doing say 1:31.
   16/47 gearing would be a start, then up or down 1 or 2 teeth as you get up to speed. Depends on if you use 180 or 190 (see why it is hard to recomend gearing?). Practice times may not be the same as race pace so keep that in mind. Rides (me included) under gear for the race as practice is a second or 2 off.
