Us Buell people will jump all over your ass 0-60, but when it gets above that the old girl gets to wheezing. When it comes to the long straight at Nashville, I'll be that she'll be a sheezin as 600's and 1000's blow by me like I've got it in reverse (reverse lights).
I think I only got the good time last trip out. I was running in the 2:00-2:15's much of the rest of the later part of the day. Of course the whole first part was a wash out since I was in novice. First couple of sessions I don't think we even broke 70MPH. Passing ONLY in the straights REALLY sucked (see long straight comment above).
I just hope I'm in the verve.
Whatever.
You see me shaking my head? I blew the ENTIRE good run on 48 when I missed the shift. F'ed up the entire run. I was a gear too high with no engine braking and no torque.
That one road was "thrilling".

Barber is terrible for curves. You need to go to Tally GP. Barber was one big sweeper for the most part, it wasn't very tight at all and had a ton of long straights.
Sounds like you were at the track day I was at for barber
