[Pics & Crappy Vid] Track Day: Part Deux

I got to go to Hallett (http://www.hallettracing.com) again over Labor Day weekend for my second track day. This time they were running clockwise, so it was like a completely different track. On the downside, it was their big Motorcycle Appreciation Weekend (read: crowded), so I only got to run 4 good sessions. It started raining hard in the 5th one, so that kind of sucked. But, hey, any day at the track sure as Hell beats a day at work! :wink: I didn't know at the time, but a friend of a friend was running an onboard camera in my class and I got a copy of the DVD afterwards. I had some trouble capturing a clip from it so the video quality is not pretty, but for what it's worth here is me laying the smack down in The Carousel. :bslap: :lol: I am piloting the black Firebolt that passes the camera bike on the outside just as the clip starts: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/l48shark/th_Pass.jpg (http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/l48shark/?action=view¤t=Pass.flv) And now some pics...

Is your friend on a R1 or a R6?

Nice, those supermotards can RIP IT with a good rider on a tight course.

Is your friend on a R1 or a R6? It was an R6. Much better tool than the R1 for this technical course. :2cents: Nice, those supermotards can RIP IT with a good rider on a tight course. Yeah, that guy definitely held his own!

Is the tread on the guy on the yellow Firebolt's front tire backwards?:scratch:

Is the tread on the guy on the yellow Firebolt's front tire backwards?:scratch: yeah...it seems to be....most guys that run the track alot flip their tires after a few track day to get more life out of the tires....but usually you just flip the rear.
