Thread: ARDC Tuesday 11th Oct

    ARDC just called me, and they are going to try out our new schedule!!!! They are finalising it now, and will email me a copy soon. They are seeking feedback (by email to reception@ardc.com.au) on the new schedule, whereby bikes get more, more frequent, shorter sessions. In other words, it's not just my view that is important. But you only get to comment if you actually attend!

    I think he's ok now. He was huddled in the foetal position and weeping earlier, but I gather Jaz has rescued him, and he's happy again!

    So, slightly different to planned... they are trialling shorter sessions for all groups. Still a big improvement!! I'm very interested to see how the cars like it.

    Have a bloody good day lads. I am trying to convince myself I'm not insanely jealous and hate you all.

    It's not really working.

    Oh, also, good work on the request for time changes, I'm assuming the car guys will have a whinge at the briefing in the morning, yet not actually notice in the slightest that their sessions are shorter.

    Our watches are in sync.

    So in the last session today, I was banging out 38.8s, feeling pretty good about my place in the world, and then Damo Cudlin shot past me and tucked in in front of me, looking over his shoulder with a 'follow me' look. I latched on, and in the one and only flying lap, dropped 1.5 SECONDS!!! and banged out a 37.3 (including stuffing up T9 and sorting ourselves out in T1). Fark me.

    I thanked him profusely afterwards, and he just said 'did that help? You were looking good in some areas but I thought I could help you in a few other areas'.

    Thanks Damo! Much appreciated mate

    Good stuff Nick, Having Damo , Glenn and guys of their caliber around that are willing to share is priceless .Well done man.

  33. #83
    Thanks Steve!! I've finally got the confidence back on the bike now. I'm still a ways off my PB of 36.1, but I can see the light again now, so I know it's not far away. Now I just need to figure out what the hell I did differently behind Damo to be (rolling lap time) 2 secs quicker than any other lap all day!

    Damo was coaching two other guys yesterday, but had been watching me for a couple of laps apparently, and just decided to jump in front and give me a hand. The first I knew about it was when he appeared in front of me in T1!! Awesome guy. It's just fantastic that he thinks like that. Glenn too. And of course Alex Cudlin, who was also there helping Wolfie out for the day (we all had lunch together). Top guys, the Cudlins.

    I should add that my previous PB was from 18 months ago, on the old bike and before I broke my leg the last time. I've been cheering to recently get back under a flat 40 on the new(ish) bike.

    Nick, did you try a dunlop rear? If so which one did you settle on?

    Not yet; they haven't arrived from Melbourne yet. That was a Bridgestone, new in the morning, but very ready to be flipped by mid-afternoon. If I'd been more organised, I'd've fitted a different rim and saved the tyre until I could flip it, as the left side is very 2nd hand now. We actually got a lot of laps yesterday, and the 6 session thing was GOLD!

    Stevem, you're running Dunlop now, right? What rears do you use? Kris and I were thinking that we might be losing out on some laptime on the V02s. Awesome down to 38s, but maybe we need a different rear to (more easily) drop some more laptime. Keen for your thoughts

    Nice one! Good work on the V02 rear then. Maybe I need to swap out the tyre - Ive been using it since March at ASBK Wakefield like you said - doesnt wear

    PS: you need to clean up your AIM sectors Duplicate the EC sector spots and youll get more accurate timing in AIM

    No, but over time you lose laptime and can't work out where it's gone.

    That was a clean install of AIM on my home computer, just so I could look at the data last night. I've just got the track laptop out and am looking at that now, with the sorted out sectors etc.

    Thanks tho!

    Yep, I should replace the rear! Will do that for my next outing. Glad you're back on the pace The video of damo is interesting, he's in/outta those corners fast by entering very late

    not gonna lie, I might save that video to watch every now and then

    I have been running the Dunlop H886 (#4) . I ran them in the first round of FX and all year. It is the harder of the dunlops they bring to Oz. The one to be on is H998 (#2). They are the control tyre for ASBK and they didn't have enough to sell during the year although Simon Galloway has been on them.If you can't get the 2's and it is hot enough ( at least +30 track temp) the Yamaha boys tested the 133 soft and found them a close second to the 2's. I did a back to back one day and did a 135.1 on the Dunlop 4 and the VO2 . The 4's I have run down till the dot was gone and done 35's and that is after it was flipped. The fronts I have run the 302 (4 Hard) and the 343 (3 softer) and can't fault either of them . I used the 343 in the colder months and not in summer.
    Was that software AIM Nick. I might load mine up .

    GREAT video and lap!! Must have been a blast to ride!
    VERY racey lines Damo takes. No room left at all.
    I always kinda assumed you had to be late apexing a lot to be going proper quick...

    Thanks mate; that's exactly what i needed. Dunlop said they didn't have any 886s, so the other day I just guessed and ordered 2 of the 998s (#2) and 2 of the 677s (#3), which arrived today. Thought I'd try them both and see. I really like the V02 rears, so it's just a test to see. I also think that I'm leaving the V02 rears on for too many days, as they don't fully wear out if you flip them regularly. And they just get gradually slower over time. If they wore out as quickly as, say, a Pirelli, they'd never get old enough to slow down
