WOW! Firstly, thanks to everyone for their responses or advice.
Hotfoot and Eirik - Thanks for the advice. I don't use a lap timer but I will make this my next purchase.
ScrmDuc - Thanks again for your direct feedback. To answer your questions:
My Goal - I would love to be able to hold my own with anyone on a track. But to be realistic, I am 42 and 110kgs. So my real goal is to be the best track day rider I can be. The most fantastic part of riding bikes to me is that you are constantly testing your own limits.
Do I feel the front end lift? - No. This bike feels so planted. I have had some occasions on higher speed sweeps where I have felt the front under steer, but never to a point where I felt unsafe.
Mostly 5th or 4th to 2nd gear corners. I don't think I have ever used 1st on the track.
Engine braking or and excuse - Now that is the $64million question. I do have supreme confidence in the front end and always feel that I can go in a bit faster, but at the same time I am aware that we should open the throttle once we have turned the bike. I keep saying to myself "get on the gas! get on the gas!" and I am a whole lot better than before, but the truth is that there is a definite time between when I have got the bike turned where I keep waiting before I get on the gas.
How do I determine corner entry speed?
Its mostly based on my SRs, but I also look for someone who is just a little faster than I am and try and learn a bit from them there.
I have been extremely weak at using RPs. For the last 3 track Days I have been documenting my brake point, turn in, apex and exit. I dropped my lap times by 3 sec just by focusing in this aspect.
Track notes - These have been mostly focused on identifying and documenting the RPs for each corner. Should I be writing other items down?
Level 1 drill 1 ??? - don't have my notes at hand. Are you referring to the counter steering or throttle control or turn point drill?
Thanks again for the feedback.
