The two tracks I want to ride the most. Nurburgring and Philip Island.
Narrated lap by Helmut Dahne on an old R1 on the ring. Mid 7 minute lap, damn quick! http://youtube.com/watch?v=PTTbeo0x6iA&feature=related# Rossi and Gibernau's epic 2004 last lap battle at Philip Island. On board with Rossi http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gujkfo_jO8w Outside camera angles http://youtube.com/watch?v=m0jg54blFlg&feature=related |

The problem with NHIS is that there is the NASCAR ring, which is well maintained and banked. (they realized nascar would bring in money so they dropped the nascar oval on top of the road course. Since then, the oval has been far better maintained than the road course). Therefore, there are transitions between the road course and the oval all over the place. You're not only going between different types of pavement, but also going from banked to not-necessarily-banked regions. The ones in turn three (the one in the picture... there is one slightly to the left out of view, probably helped me crash..) are by far the worst. The ones in turn 10 (directly north of 3 on the other side of the wall) are a close second. The rest aren't too terrible... sortof.... Here is a map of the track and I've circled all the course/oval transitions. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...12384/nhis.jpg I bet when I go to a smooth and high-speed track it will be insanely different, and awesome.

Sounds like Pocono. The road course is shit. The Oval is supreme...and banked...and very very rough getting on and off of it.

Closest I have been was kicking up cones at a woman's only autocross school...

Nice Mrs. Colleen, looks like you're moving pretty good in that pic.:dthumb: Bet that car is fun to drive!
Here's one from my first track day...I was still fighting the natural urge to stay ON the bike. :panic: I've been hooked ever since! :rockwoot: Edit: Good Stuff CEO, just watched the vids. Looks like you rode some twisties before hitting up the track, huh? It shows. Look at my pic below, I was scared shitless on my first tday. And I'm sure it showed. HAHA |

My instructor had a C5 Z06 so she knew how Corvette work in those sorts of courses. She taught me that if you mash the peddle before the car is completely straight while coming out of a corner it WILL loose the back end...finding out for sure was the fun part! :rofl: I did not completely spin out but I was squirling around a bit. :rockwoot: |

(Look VERY closely at the front of Jimmy's Bike) http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/phot...07872_8933.jpg Last one, I have to upload this one for some reason, I don't think I have it hosted anywhere. It's the best track shot of me by far, T5 at Barber. (Check the clearance on the case cover/shifter) http://www.twowheelfix.com/attachmen...2&d=1205376656 |
