Any idea what a fast expert time for guys running SV's is?

Yes, I agree that looking further ahead mysteriously lets you get on the gas earlier. These are all good points. There's just so many things to think of, I think I need to "KISS".

Yeah, I've read how Valentino would be almost violently be picking the bike up out of a corner to get on the gas sooner. I think it comes down to my needing more cornerspeed in one way or another ..

Hey Keith, While, this is my first post here, I've emailed with you a couple times and have read all the TOTW books numerous times. I've been fortunate enough to do well this past year, racing with WERA, but I've got some stuff I need to work on for next year. Getting out of turns faster. I know that at every track I've raced, I can get at least 2 more seconds out of my best lap times. It seems that this is all "in the corners". My first inclination is that I need to get on the gas harder between the apex of the turn and the exit. Pretty basic. My second thought is that I need to get into the turns better. I think sometimes I plan too much on setting up the turn, that I go into it slower than I should be, and am accelerating before the apex. In the theory of being smooth and "being on the gas as early as possible", I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. My last inclination is that I'm way off and there's something else I should be working on. Any thoughts? Thanks, Eddie Kraft
