I'm very excited to check out the WSB race then do the track day...SWEET!!! They will be using the "perimeter" config. Anyone know if that is the actual race config?

You're going?

Tahoebrian5 · April 02, 2012, 08:42:19 PM

Yep, and doing the track day on Tuesday after the race. You know you want to go!

In years past, SSA would have a group going. That's a long way to travel with an uncertain weather future. But after yesterday's SBK race, suddenly Miller sounds appealing.

Well I might have room for another bike. Lemme know if you get fired up

Race config will be the perimeter track. I'll probably be there for the race weekend but won't make the trackday on Tuesday.

SSA used to do a group thing at the Keigwin's weekend there which is the full course. If you get a chance I'd recommend doing that. The 4.5 mile course is a blast. I might make that this year as well.

Just did my first sesh.. damn this place is sweet!!

Are you all setup with slicks this time too? Feel like a World SBK rider out there?

Tahoebrian5 · May 29, 2012, 02:11:04 PM

Not slicks but I'm on dunlops dot racers, the 211's. I'm doing alright, only 30 seconds behind Checa!

Did you buy any of the photos? Steven W. Clark did a great job snaping.

Alberto, would you show my pics to Kay? I dont have his email, and he did not think I was almost draging elbow.

If I did not lift my elbow over the paint, it would have drug...

Tahoebrian5 · June 02, 2012, 03:43:50 PM

Naw, I spent enough money already!

GreenMachine · June 03, 2012, 11:15:44 AM

Stimac,

Those pics are awesome. You just need more HP to cut into that 30 secs.

Exhausted after the long holiday? Your prelude to Europe.

Thanks.
I dont need 30 sec or more HP. I was doing 2;11s all day. I need 20 sec or bigger balls to pull on the brakes later. Haha

2:11... Nice job! I never got past 2:19. I feel like I was just starting to get comfy and then the day was over. I realized late in the day I was going way too slow on the turns before the back straight and B group traffic was slowing me down alot. Hoping to go back and ride the full course in September. Only bummer is it's a long trip for a one day deal.
