Ha ha! No, you weren't the Doofus. That's funny. Just shows you have the right attitude that you were actually worried about it.

The guy who was stuffing people all over the place was practically pitted right beside us. I figured he would come and apologize but when he didn't that kind of told me what kind of guy he is. I have footage of the turn 9 incident and will post it when I get a chance.

If you are able to post the other footage that would be great.

If you don't mind the time/bandwidth, you can upload all 20 mins then cut and trim it any way you want right on youtube, they have a sweet new video editor :)

The 600 will allow you to run more classes. There is no 750 class so you'd be running superbike or open class against the litre bikes.

Yep

Hey thanks for the heads up , i will look into that!

I'm on the black zx6r with a white tank #123 If you were on the naked r1, than sometime in the morning i was behind you waving at your camera, sort of my thing :P Your bike was way to fast to over take in the straights.

Then sorry for holdin ya up in the corners, that was my completely naked R1 (well, at least the sides/front of it) ;) From watching my tail cams it looks like I was a straight line bully yesturday, holding up a bunch of people. The guy on the light blue Rizza bodywork bike actually had to pull of the track, wait for me to come around again and take off in front of me. I guess he didn't trust my lines/wheelies enough to try and pass me.

Only time I went slow on the straights to let someone pass was when I could hear this guys exhaust behind me for about two laps, figured I better let him by! lol. It was the guy on the black/gold 675 with the loud mufflers :D

My friend on the blue #11 bike did infact pull off the track because of your useless wheelies and didn't want to pass because of your lines. Stop focusing on trying to wheelie all the time please. Not trying to be rude.

She timed me with her iPhone, best time was a 1:21:05, but i was running consistent times more or less at 1:21-1:24, never knew my lap times before, time to invest into a lap timer for next season

According to that you're faster than I am at TMP. You'd better come into the red group at GBR this Thursday and play :)

Guy on #11 and I have had some fun little battles on previous track days (wasn't at this one). Too bad he got stuck and had to exit the track due to a rider who blatantly, intentionally and repeatedly breaks track rules (wheelies) and shows poor track etiquette (straight line hero).

Another reason to avoid TMP.
 
Wait, lol, didn't know power wheelies exiting a corner are against the track rules... for what it's worth, I personally never felt endangered or bothered by hpvchewy. I've been on the track in close proximity to him many times spanning a few days this summer, and we also had some exciting "battles" too--passing each other and such. I still remember one particular occasion when I passed him coming into T2 and had such incredible speed that he told me later he thought I was gonna crash in T3 as it looked to him I'm beyond max lean angle, which did seem so after reviewing the video later. I understand #11's disappointment completely with having to come off the track to generate a gap, but I also think the "useless wheelies and didn't want to pass because of your lines" is an extreme exaggeration. Anyways...carry on now.

I'm pretty sure he was flagged last year for wheelies. I know they're not stand up wheelies but he seems to be the only guy doing them down the straight. Also in terms of extreme exaggeration my friend who pulled off and on again put down a 1:21 after being behind Sir. Jamie. He knows how to pass, pulling off was the better choice. Again not trying to be rude and hopefully Thanksgiving weekend has some nice weather for us :)

I wish you so! Next time I'm stepping foot on a track is when what's under my leathers is 20lb lighter so I can keep wearing the chest protector and be able to breath at the same time. In other words---see you next year.

Im #11 and i didnt feel he was dangerous, i got off because i cant catch a 1000 on a straight, and i would be stuck behind him in the corners and when i did get a chance he would give it in the straights, i understand power wheelies but not all the time.

Hey Mike welcome to the forum! It was great meeting you guys yesterday. Love your bike and also the way you ride. I have forgotten the name of your friend on the red Honda (maybe he is 'bigcat' above?) but he was doing great too, considering it was his first time in the intermediate group.
