My only trackday winz were doing a 1m10s (13 sec off lap record) on my bog-stock 675 at BeaveRun (aka PIR North) and then subsequently sending the bike into the field. And lapping the whale that was a Daytona 955i around Nelson Ledges without dying.

How’s your tuck going???



No not that tuck… hahahah 😂

Was that in 1978?

Back in the summer of 69’, with you and your boys from school?
 
Steven trying to be witty is the opposite of entertaining 😂

Seriously bruv. You asked. I told. Then you try to take a dig at me.

I may not be the fastest on track these days but I try to have solid fundamentals. People who think trackdays are for dick measuring and setting fastest lap times are the worst (I was one of them 10 yrs ago). For me trackdays are for increasing one’s control and comfort zone at speed. Shouldn’t be pushing more than 7-8/10ths at a track day. Anyone who’s tracking lap times in B’s is an idiot. That’s just my philosophy 🤷‍♂️

But I’ve been on the other side of this thinking. I got straightened out by a mentor who dressed me down in front of my group for charging too hard. Steven’s “demon on the brakes” attitude in B’s is prob so frustrating for the other riders is group. He’s probably (unintentionally) dive bombing, super slow in the corner, and then all over the place on exit and the straights. Again, I was there 10 yrs ago.

The funnest people to pick on are the ones that get the most riled up over the tiniest little poke, it’s almost irresistible, jus sayin….

I do actually pay attention and not undercut anyone if it’s gunna be too close, and you get a sense of the riders ability your passing and how close you can make it without getting them out of sorts.

Most of the people in group B brake so early that if you on them already you can brake late enough to get COMFORTABLY around them without upsetting their line.

Don’t mischaracterize it, I have fun, but I’m not rude or unsafe to other people.

You're on a race track, not outside Starbucks!

Even then, as long as no-one gets hurt, probably still OK.

I mean, as long as everyone is still conscious when the bikes are are out of the gravel, still OK.

OK, OK, as long as no-ones latte gets spilt, we're all good 👍

If you’re going to pick on me, at least do it in a witty way.

Because most of the people in B’s are learning the right way and focusing on corner exit not entry.

The general rule on a trackday unless you are in the fast group is pass under acceleration not brakes, why? Because the level is usually not that good across the board and dive bombing will sooner or later end in tears for someone. I focus on what I want to get out of the day and avoid getting involved in manly bunfights. Once I find a place in the line up I like which is either with a bit of clear track in front or following a better rider I tend to stay in that space.
