LAP times at Fontana

I only had one Lap where I felt good enough on the bike to push it a bit all the way around abs that was a very slow 1:51

Jeff gave me some good advice before and after the bike lost the blip shifter and all the electronic Nannie’s. (Gear indicator broke on the first lap after the 2 sighting laps.)

he said not to try and go fast, just pick one thing to work on each session, two of the sessions I had to learn how to clutch shift the thing without losing the rear end on downshifts or wheeling to to the moon on hard upshifts.

after that I just cruised the straights and let everyone pass so I could focus on setting up fir the corner and getting my body position and throttle control right….next time I think I’ll be faster.

I didn’t know they offered a class group or I would have signed up for that.

Fastrack Riders has a New Rider School that basically works like a Group C+. They get out on track before everyone else and stay out with group C throughout the day. You wear a jersey and one of their coaches shadows/has you shadow throughout the day. My experience at Fontana is limited because I only got to do part of a session before my thermostat manifold decided to exit the chat, unfortunately. Would have preferred just the GPS crapping out

I've had a hard time fitting track days into my schedule. I've only been to Fontana and Chuckwalla a handful of times.
