| Post subject: | My Video of Talladega GP Track Day May 3 2008 |
I will break this up and upload to youtube sometime soon, but for now, if you want to watch the better quality 170+mb version: http://splak.net/rc51/talladega/Coletalladega05-08.wmv Just so you guys know, the guys with the Orange shirts (control riders) over their leathers are control riders, they are people normally with race licenses that are out there to watch us, give us pointers, or tell us what to do. I was by far the fastest out there in my group, I really needed to be in the upper group but it was full, and I had signed up for this event months ago, before I got moved to the "I" group. In the group I am is NO passing in turn, you can only pass the CR (control riders) on the left side, and only pass other bikes in the straightaways. As you can see, I lap people 2, 3, even 4 times each session, its quite sad. Did not record 1st session, it was raining bad, just stopped, track was really wet, took it easy, but still put half a track on the next 2 people out there (Charles and Stephan) haha. 2nd (0:00-12:12) I was still on street tires, taking it slow, water still on the track in some places. 3rd (12:12-30:54) Switched to slicks, started to learn the course more, like where to brake when at speed, where to hit each corner, etc. This session was alot of fun for me because a CR was testing me (passing in turns) etc and I really picked up some speed. After this session he said he is going to move me to "I" group, so I told him I was bumped last week, but they are making me run "B" because "I" was full. He tried to pull some strings, gave me and "I" sticker, then came back after a few minutes and had to take it back. 4th (30:54-47:30) At 36:49 you will Stephan down, this will stop the session, but we restart right after. Then I get told by DJ to slow my roll (passing too close to turns), but besides like 1 time where I did kinda cut it close, most of them were becuase all the bikes (like the 1098 guy) that I had to do that with were freakin going 20 through turns then drag racing me down the straightaways (on a faster bike) so I had to set him up, just to keep up with him (instead of him blowing me away after the turns), then outbrake him. Either way I deserved to be told to lower my aggression but It will be a non issue in "I" group. 5th (47:50-end) Was getting worn out, changing tires all day, from slicks to street, back to slicks, just was out there having fun. We had the CR that bumped me watch Charles (who got bumped this session), so I was kinda out in front riding by myself having fun. |

Yeah, its weird, I am a part of the upper group, but since I signed up for this track day months ago, before they moved me up, I had to ride with the lower group. Any events I go to now, I will be in the "I" group instead of beginner. |
