Sean-- I talked to red last night
Peanut -- I have some information for u.


SD- I knew there was something I forgot to ask u. Starts ( is it all based on comfort to have one foot down or both down and leaned way forward?

I have prrety good starts but I have a problem getting my legs back up on the pegs to shift whit both feet down and leaned way forward.

the starts are all what you feel comfi with ..

i have drag raced for over 10 years now., and find that i keep my right foot up and on the rear brake., they bring the RPM's up and let the clutch out till i feel it ...  then feather the hexxl out of the clutch on the start and carry a small wheelie out to the end of first....

the key is to slipping the clutch ., other wise you either bog the motor or wheelie too hard.... and when either of those happen you are not going forward !!!!

thats cool becasue Sean told me to tell him the same thing  

He also said if he or I don't feather the clutch and just ride it to be preparied to change out the clutch.

Thanks for the t5 tip.  At test & tune I felt better in that turn but I was still in 2nd.

Why don't you bring the lil one with you? I'm sure your  teammates could help out.

You need tires? I have one rear that was used for  3 races last year, and a front and rear that was used in 4 races last year.  ( the front and rear are still on my old bike from last year) U can have them if you want them. well after u look at them of course.  let me know what weekend to bring them to Summit


smoke, i appreciate the offer on the tires bro. i will let you know for sure when im coming down to the next summit event. thanks.
 i have been debating on bringing her down with me many times, and i know everyone would help out for sure. im just a little nervous that if i ever got fucked up out on the track she would freak out.  i will have to see how the season goes and maybe before the end of the season ill hit up and event with her.  
as far as the t5 tip, i got that from davegsxrold929 (he is one of my teammates under the parent team of offthewall racing).
it really made a huge difference. just carry more speed into the turn, hence more out of it. and no trying to settle the bike before t6. you may have different gearing than myself though. im running 16/50 on my gixxer 600. im still not sure if that is optimal for that track as i dont have much time on it, but it worked ok to start with.

Any time.  
I pitted next to day my first race weekend at summit. I have not seen him since june of last year.
