It's crazy to me with the ABSURD amount of money at that track, how bumpy it is. I've legit never been to a bumpier track. Can't believe people pay $40k+ in signup costs to be a member there tbh.

I only do the north course, was just there saturday, and the huge bump in braking zone for t1 gets my back tire all sideways every fucking time. I know i'm giving up 1-2 seconds there because I can't brake as late as I normally would without almost losing it over the bump

It's my least fav track for sure but I go there because it's convenient, any other track day is an overnighter

How much did the bump upset the front end though? I don't care too much about the back end sliding around, at least on my 600. It's not that hard to control. If I can manage to keep it inline after it stepped out at RA T11 doing about 100-110mph.... Granted momentum did help.

Phalabala Phalabala you still recommend the garmin? I know you seemed to like it and found the coaching useful too.
Do they ever go on sale? Hard for me to drop a $1000 on one.
I love it! It continued to be helpful each time out and at least in my case it is way easier than lugging out the laptop and reading the footage from the PDR. I still highly recommend it, I only saw them on sale once for black friday and it was like 10% off or so.

Ok, that’s bad ass. Do you own that car? Is it still raced in a series. Pretty impressive how it can handle the curbs at Blackhawk.

Thanks! This video is a few years old. At the time, it was raced in the Pro Mazda Championship (now Indy Pro with the PM-18) in the Road to Indy. The car belonged to the team I drove for at the time, Ice 9 Motorsports. When the team folded, I ended up with all 4 cars but I sold them to a member at Autobahn. Now I drive an NP01 with a team in WRL.

Thats awesome! I'm genuinely impressed by people who track bikes. it looks like a whole 'nother level!
Here’s the vid from a couple years ago. Looking at the mistakes I know I could prob to low 14’s, we’ll see if I make it back there this year
