fossilfuel Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yes, I am headed to Barber a little later in the day for two days of well deserved track time with my NESBA brothers and sisters. The weather maybe a little warm but I am expecting good things from my Dunlop tires and a hot track..I need to set a personal best this weekend! I will need a 1:40 or better to place in the Senior Superbike class at the WERA Nationals in September. GET R DONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you get on with experimenting with tyre pressures. Bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how they work and what tire pressures to use...If I go down on these there will be no crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilfuel Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I DID IT! The second session of the first day...1:40.93, 1:40.88, missed a lap 1:41.23, 1:40.77 then a 1:40.26. It was very hot, about 98 ambient. I had to take a couple of cold showers between sessions to cool down. I started slowing down a bit after lunch and couldn't break the 1:41 mark. I had a plan for Sunday to come out the first session and get loose, find a couple of 1:35-1:39 riders and hitch a tow. I was on my way when the rider in front of me through up a hand with mechanical problems and put me off the pace...I finished with a 1:40.22. I started making mistakes in the third session after lunch with a couple of missed shifts. The tires were starting to feel a little greasy with the heat of the track so I called it a weekend. There is just so many Bananas, potassium, gatorade and water one can drink and when you're done you're done. This was a goal so now on to the 1:39's at Barber.

I road the 1000 with the Dunlop slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad you're doing so well. Pretty impressive to come back off a crash and kick butt like that, awesome. Thanks for letting us know how it went!
