NJMP report 6/28

Yep, thats the set of turns I was thinking of. I kept running wide to avoid the patches, then would try and stay on line but would wind up crossing the race line. It was more a mental thing for me with the patches, im used to avoiding other colored sections on the street, them that pops up and screwed me up. Toward the middle of the day i had it down and moved up to intermediate but lost the line on the next to last session and was bumped back down to beginner

In that left hander after the killer right you can avoid all the patches if you do it right. You go in a little wide and let the bike carry you out and you will be on the right side of the first set of patches then as you close it up you come inside the patches and hug the curbing.

yeh but you cant ride it to far to the side without blowing that chicane and getting back to the left to set up for the right leading on the straight

You can enter the turn a little wide but they have a cone at the end of the turn, so long as youre on the inside at the curbing for the cone it sets you up to almost straight shoot the esses before the straight. From that turn out I am on the gas and ratcheting it up untill I hit the straight then hammer it at that apex.

I still manage to fuck it up
