I'll be there franticly trying to solve my cramping issues again Water, Potassium, Pamprin? I used to get muscle cramps when I raced off-road. It was from the elastic straps of the protective padding I used. |

Pretty good weekend Formula 40 7th Tag Team 3rd 650 Prod 4th 650 Twins 11th Formula 4 Dead last after running off the track in Turn 10 while in running in the top 10 ;D False neutral while braking for the turn, rode the bike all the way out on to the drifting area, turned it around and got back on to finish  My supermoto experience helped a LOT, shouting at myself to LEAVE THE FRONT BRAKE ALONE, use the rear and click it up into a higher gear, gentle on the clutch and let it go. PHEW. Managed to miss the wall and keep the bike up right. Broke my personal best on Saturday in the Tag Team, got down to a 2:01:7 according to the GPS the AFM transponder had me at at a 2:01:9 but still first time EVER under 2:02 on my production SV Problems with the video saving to the card during races I will try to get them repaired and posted along with a Race report. Apologies to Dave Sapsis and John Forman for "sketchy" passes mid turn in 3  |

congrats on the personal best lap, and the 3rd place, but especially the save!
I have a ton of navigational experience so I'm inclined to think the transponder has the accuracy.

I can live with 2 tenths difference right now ;D |

(oh and thanks again for bringing my big dualsport bike back!) Glad to help, not sure how you handle that thing it is HEAVY. I just need to be more "race" smart. I had the lap times to be up front but starts were pretty bad and I start riding other peoples races instead of my own |

My lap timer always shows me going .2-.5 seconds faster per lap. It is set off by an infra red beacon. I'm not sure which is more accurate.
Jason Lauritzen told me that at WERA races his transponder and IR lap timer are always dead on. Not sure why.

After a 300, 400 or 500 mile day, wind rain, dirt, you learn to appreciate the size. Honesly it rides great. SUV of motorcycles. Anyway back to the race report. I can't imagine how you guys do it. I need dozens more track days!! |
