I think you've just misunderstood me. I did not mean to discount your experience. Lets put it this way. My suit fits tight enough that I have trouble zipping it up sometimes. The ice pack fit mainly between the belt for my back protector and chest protector, where there was just enough room...

Yeah, my suit is definitely tight enough. Don't worry. ;) I think you are just overestimating the size of the ice sheet. But I digress, we are dragging this thread off topic.

You don't have ~1cm of extra space? And I thought my suit was tight!

Ahh, i went too nerdy with that reference. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/protip And i'm talking about a thin, flexable sheet here. This is what I used on the 17th. I found the suggestion on another forum via google.

Focus on one new thing at a time. It's overwhelming if you are thinking about too many things while on the track.

Seems like the right way to do things. I ended up doing it a little backwards and made it harder for myself. I focused on smoothness first, and then BP. But that's where I ran into trouble. My lines were very wrong in the LH turns, and I was slowing way down before them. When I tried to hang...

I had a good day. Ran my quickest so far and kept the rubber side down. Had my buddy with me to help with the stands and warmers. My CT canopy did bend in the wind though and we had to take it down. Earlier in the day, we helped Kent (who I was pitted next to) set up his canopy, and when mine...

Clear blood? Also yes a cooler with ice is great! :)

OP, glad you are relatively alright! Good show for getting back on there, you're a trooper :) T6 is a real bugger. Take the wrong line and it's super bumpy. I actually had my knee bash the ground going through there today because I hit a bump with it. Interesting. Will try it next time. I'm...

Eh, not too bad. I ended up skipping 3-4 sessions because I didn't want to push myself too much in the heat. We ran two groups, 20 minute sessions, so still lots of riding time. Lots of wind at Cayuga. Broke my canopy actually. Protip: Put a soft gel ice pack between your chest protector and...

And bring lots of ice/cold drinks. It's gonna be a hot one! See you guys there.

+1.

I just booked for the 17th. Anyone else in?

THIS. Checklist to make sure you have everything. Also, pack as much as you can the night before. Thanks for the writeup, looks good!

It all comes down to the rider. You won't be able to outride ANY 600cc sportbike until you've got a few years of tracktime under your belt. Any idiot can go fast in a car. On a bike it's a little more involved.

I've been skipping the last session as well. I'm just too exhausted to ride safely at that point.

I love me a clean 1st gen R6. ('98-'02) Track Trim

I'd love to come, but i've got a summer class that's taking all my time. Still a slim chance I may come on the 17th though.

Nope, I sent him a 3rd email this week. I guess he doesn't want my money?

Well said guys.
