What do you think that you are good at?

What do you think needs improvement?

I guess Im at the "Im needing another track fix soon" state...so instead of riding or working all I am doing is thinking about it.

Just a thread to kick off some things to think about before your next street jaunt or trackday.

U turns...
Starts...
Seeing debris ahead...
Trailbraking...
Exit speed...
Mid corner speed...
Late braking :rolleyes:...

good:
1-braking
2-Trail braking
3-smooth
4-drive off corner

bad:
1-mid corner speed
2-braking (depends on where I'm at...T3 at willow...)
3-Tire management (trying to make up for bad corner speed...)

I've found I ride my bike to much like a liter bike. I get in fast and back out fast but the whole midcorner thing I feel like I'm just parking it. Thats why I want a liter bike! so my bike matches my riding style...

Can's wait to meet a bunch of you on Memorial Day. Will be my first try at Race Group. I ran consistently in the :52s at the Rump in Apr and Aaron said Race Group would be fine (Intermediate was already full on Saturday). Anyway, I have no problem being passed, or even passed close. Just looking forward to learning some more from all of you.
