He's 119 lbs. Rediculous. That tiny man can ride the shit outta that thing though...until late in the race and as long as nobody challenges him.

Well, they do say smaller riders have an easier time of it as we have less bulk to move and less weight over all around the track tho I havent gotten good enough to put that to use.

Sadly, with the 6-7 I have under my belt I've just now reached intermediate speeds. Im hoping to run Memorial Weekend, at least 2 days and work on lowering my times. I know I need to work on my braking to carry more speed, and maybe a lil less time spent scraping myself across the pavement, I know it slows me down, I just cant seem to help it tho, still makes me giddy.

I was on the street versions. I only used warmers before the first session. I was running 30/30 cold. Maybe you might have a suspension issue?

Haven't been to LVMS yet..but was planning on this year.

I must've gotten some bad 003s because I absolutely hated them at the track. They slipped so soon they felt like touring tires. I couldn't even get them hot enough to look like yours.

Sean were the 003s brand new? If so they tend to be like that until a few sessions. They are not slipping, but moreso feel that there is not on-center feel. So when you go to turn it in it kinda moves around. Once you get some laps the tires squares off in the center a little.

What pressure did you run?

So given I weigh 3 times as much as you do I am going to use that excuse for being slow

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing Chuckwalla on the 29th of this month.

Just did it today with the Pridmore school. I have one pic of him and me riding. Don't laugh until your ridden on the back of an AMA pro rider when you tell him to haul ass. He was passing people in the Advanced group like they were standing still. You just have to experience how fast he can go with 2 people.

You will absolutely love the track. It flows so smoothly....about a 45-90mph track, minus the front straight here I can hit about 100 (Pridmores best was 134). I only used 2-4th gears, but rarely 4th at that. Def. my favorite of the three tracks I ride. Will ride again soon.
