How far do you lean? LIAR!

It is kind of a double edge sword. I typically run Intermidiate class, which is where i belong anyway. If i have a sport bike that is running pretty much my lap time i can usually get them and hammer thru the turns enough to eventualy not allow them to overtake me in the striaght. Once i reach that milestone its all over, they are no catching me again.

The real problem is you pretty much run the motards flat out, so if you get stuck behind a sportbike entering a turn they kill your momentum and lap times.

Still fun though, i hope to do Barber, Nashville (it's 15 min form my house) and little Tally. Little tally should be perfect for the motard.

Even the newest of newbs could get to the 5. I had my tires scrubbed sidewall to sidewall within 6 months of riding on the street for the first time.

Scrubbin to the edges is easy, just ride fast and dont use any body position/lean. The bike will hafta lean farther without you hanging off and walla, no strips.

Or go gung ho and hang off while running ridiculously low lean and risk getting killed due to not having any margin for error. All so you can brag about how shredded your tire is...

I run intermediate, but at CMP they run both Int/adv at the same time.....the advanced sportbike riders typically can get around me once.....but only ONE (some CCS racer) can get around me 2 times in a 20 minute session at CMP

(he was friggin NUTS and passed ME in a corner)

I can't claim to get far enough ahead in the curves for any of the sportbikes to NOT catch me again on those straights. If you can do it.....you must be right at the threshold of sponsership on a motard (hats off)
