Track Day was for the most part fun today, bike felt good, I felt good, didn’t try to push at all though, probably only cracked the throttle open to about 90% most of the day. Today I spent the day just working on body position, feet position, hand position etc…just trying to get settled into some habitualized neuro muscular responses. More of a training day than anything, fun though.
But my gosh, by the end of the day I was wondering what kind of masochism is it to do a track day in the middle of the desert in the summer in the hottest part of the day lol.
Was 105 degrees and felt hotter, very little wind so the sun felt like a weight pushing you down lol
I’m running SC1 front and rears and the heat was definitely too much for an SC1 front, was straight up softening the tire, making braking feel unstable just a wee bit.
Next track day I’ll use SC2 front and SC1 rear.
Never did see Jolly, but saw Fry and a couple other guys from here, good chaps, and was parked next to a 71 year old former racer on vacation from Australian touring the American tracks, still dragging his knee at 71, cool dude, with some cool pics dragging knee in the 1970’s on those cool old bikes.
Met a 33 year old kid that’s new to the forum here, has only done two coaching days with CSBS and today was his 1st real track day ever and 1st time at Chuckwallah and he did a 2:05, he’s gunna be a quick one I think ;-)
