  1. Hi,

     

    I will be attending a Willow Springs SuperBike school next year, but until then I need some help with my racing.

     

    I am in Australia and have nearly completed my first year of racing. I have read all the 'Twist Books' and have the DVD. I started the year off great with my times coming down with every meeting. (See we race on the same track every time). I had a couple of crashes after 2 rounds, first one was a lack of concentration in an early practice session, but the 2nd one was mid race where I had a front end washout. maybe some oil on the track sent me down, not sure, but now I have lost confidence punting the bike hard into a turn, and really cranking the bike over. My lap times have dropped by up to 4 seconds and now no matter how hard I try I have hit a mental wall.

     

    On top of this the front of the bike needed new fork seals and we replaced springs as well, and handling took time to get right.

     

    How can I rebuild my confidence? I know what I need to do, go in deeper and fast, turn quick, crank it over and twist the wrist. But, what I am doing, is going in hard, washing off to much speed under brakes, turning in a bit gingerly, not getting over enoung to touch my knee and generally running a little wide on exit. aaaahhhhh.

     

    How can I get myself mentally back up? how can I bust through this? How can I restore faith in my bike? :( )(01 GSXR600)

     

    Keith please help!
