My advice, if you are a lappee, in addition to what litespeed said, is to make sure you leave room in every corner..on both sides.

There is no reason to go outside edge to clipping the apex to outside edge if you are running at a pace that much slower as to be lapped.  Leave a bike on both sides.  In fact, in using the entire track you are using the width of the track as a crutch to reduce the lean angle you should be trying to learn.

Ahhhh, C'mon now!  It is much more exciting, especially in the pits after a race, when a newbie uses the whole bloody track.  Not that I would know anything about that, mind you!  ::)

btw, fwiw, why does NESBA teach us to hit our marks as though we were running at race pace even though we aren't?  somebuddies gotta get their stories straight...

Benj.

Hell yeah...now you just gotta get me in on that SD deal for the steaks.  I think I might be able to put it to the AM LW guys on the banks on this thing. ;)

Whoa...  you'll have to struggle against some of my children there too!   ;D

[MightyDuc Racing]

So I'm out on the steak if I win?  I would've taken your school if you didn't live in the frozen tundra...lol.  I think I can get this thing to run 150+ at Daytona if I can get the gearing right.  Now I just gotta figure out how to stay within 10 secs in the infied...lol!

[Super Dave]

You think it will pull that much mile an hour?

We could only go through the traps at about 149 on the CB750...

That was the old track, before the recent changes.  But the CB750 I rode makes serious HP and is really light.

Whoa...  you'll have to struggle against some of my children there too!   ;D

     I guess that pretty much answers the question "Who's your daddy?". LOL  ;) ;D

[MightyDuc Racing]

I hope it will Dave.  I've never been there, though.  It ran 150+ on the dyno geared really short.  If it can pull the higher gear, it should be able to do it with my fat ass on it, I hope.  90 hp and 295 lbs...worst case should be upper 140's.

[Super Dave]

Well, a dyno doesn't mean a whole bunch.  Every time you double your speed, the force that air that you must move through is squared.

The CB750 weight in at about 380 and made 115HP+.

We did a throretical thing on my H1, figuring 85HP and 300 pounds.  It was drag limited to about 142 or so.

Hmmm.  Well, as long as it's faster than an SV, I'm good. ;) ;D
