Friday I wanted to leave around 7pm but didn't get to leave until around 830ish. I got to CMP around 3:45am and unloaded the canopy, bike and tried to get a few hours of sleep.
Saturday came around turned the bike on, set the tire pressures on the new Michelins and met up with Drew. Riders meeting at 9am, on the track at 9:20.
3/20/10 1st session I was getting used to the tires, they felt weird at first, lap times were under 1:50's.
3/20/10 2nd session the pace was picked up, got down into the 44-45's and kept on running wide or overshooting turn 1. Bike did not want to stop so I decided to switch brake pads and run the new Ferodo pads.
3/20/10 3rd session I go out take it easy a few laps then I wreck and destroy my brand new bodywork. Bike did not want to stop for Turn 11. I'm on the brakes then I feel the front getting ready to wash out, so I let off the brakes to stand the bike back up....now I'm getting ready to run off into the grass, then I see a huge dip in the grass so I hit the front brakes to slow down. Picked bike back up went to the pits fixed it in about 5 minutes and went back out that same session and got my times down into the 43's.
3/20/10 Last session Drew and I hooked up with a WERA rider and chased him down on his 1000. Times were still in the 43's.
3/21/10 I felt a lot better, went out 1st session and was running 44's, 2nd session a few rain drops started to fall, Drew took off on the warm up lap to play with a Kawi, I was playing catchup for about 7 laps and got my times down into the 40's.
Michelins awesome tires, they wear out very slowly. My suspension needs to be adjusted, I need to fix my bodywork, I need to check all my bolts. Besides that I am ready for the CCS CMP race weekend. I've signed up for 11 races so far. Still debating if I want to race the unlimited races.
Worked on my website some, added videos.
