2:26 = slow . . .what would be fast?

Missed turns running into dirt . .good reason not to learn this stuff next to concrete and light poles. (-; Run off is a life saver on the track.

Well, I know in the real

Well, I know in the real competitive world of racing a single second matters, and 3 is like an ocean of "distance" in a race.

For now, for a rookie rider who did not grow up on one of these things, and seems to be gaining track experience as quickly as you are street experience, slow in this case has to be seen as a relative term. (-; Seems to me you are not just taking a "Sunday stroll" on that track either.

I know you went down once. Still, keep taking it one step at a time and widdle down the time. That first get off at 100, predictable on a track riding the limits, will still be a lesson that can be postponed as long as possible. (-; The longer you stall that get off, probably the easier it will be to react, stay lose and think when you hit the ground. Like learning a clutch, part of it is just training you mind to "think" that fast.

Looks fun. To bad I am not younger and richer. (-; Stay safe. Looks to me like you are learning a hell of a lot out there. The way I see it, remove one second per track day, and in 11 more events you are the veteran in front of the pack. (-; Even that is not exactly learning slow, is it? (-;
