This one time, at band camp, I mean a track day, there was this lady that was using all the track to get her R6 around. Outside/inside/outside and leaving no room. Balking me twice a session.
I outbraked her from the outside several times, nothing close mind you cause she was braking miles from the tighter corners. But after dodging her all day I finally lined her up in a corner eaiting to a long straight. She left the usual 18-24 inches on the outside and I got a huge drive,blew by her with my tread on the last inch of asphalt. We couldnt have been an inch apart fairing to fairing, me traveling 15 to 20 mph faster, she left room outsidethe rest of the day.. |

Same goes for the track, if you hug that back tire by the time you have decided to move over and speed up to pass - you have spent valuable distance. Slingshot is more efficient, and it doesn't give the person in front of you much notice to compete [if they otherwise might have]. Great points, Oreo. |
In reponse to Kells...
:lol: Inevitably at Jennings every time my big brother did that on his 1000, he'd fly off the end of turn 1. And I'd wave as I passed him again. |

Excellent point. I go through this every track day with the Novice and Intermediate riders. Oreo & Zoomie explained it well: If you sit on someone's back tire, they dictate your speed and throttle pick up points. By hanging back you actually make it easier to pass them. |
