FX RRC round 1

[Metal-Man]

Video of all my starts yesterday. I'm still trying to work out how to launch the Aprilia.... I tried a bunch of different things, mostly lower revs. Still not much worked!

@1:25 point ... is that Mark beside you on the yellow yammie? did he not do a jump start?

Pro-Twins last race. This one was the mostest fun, chasing Kris around for most of the race. After the overtake into T10, we are literally handlebar to handlebar the entire length of the straight! It was fascinating that the bikes were so even. I was on the 09, which always feels slower than the '13. In very hot weather (above 30 degrees), I'm sure it really is slower, but below say 25 degrees ambient, it feels exactly the same. The motor runs at almost 100 degrees in the heat, compared to 80 for the '13, but as you can see in the vids, the 09 runs at the same lower temp in cooler ambient weather. I guess the take-home lesson is that excessive motor heat really does sap horsepower!

it's "CLUB" racing, FX are a little more relaxed at this level ;-) besides the new clutch took all day to get used to lol

[Little Mick]

Mick underwood did a jump off the start in retro. His was about .75m though and he copped a 10s penalty. I felt for him as I watched for about 3 nanoseconds.. He was my main competition

Sounds like a plan. I'll see how I go at the next ARDC day and if the injuries hold up, I'm in!!

Didn't see a familiar face but there was a guy at start of straight taking a few. Thought he was with someone

[stevem]

Marshy, What camera mount is that you were using ?

I saw Ray Oxford and Philip Veneris at Barry Sheene so it wasn't either of them...

What day were you there?

EDIT: Saturday, duhhhhhh

[Marshy]

Marshy, What camera mount is that you were using ?

A normal flat stick-on gopro mount, but stuck on the tank a lot like yours (but without your ultra-cool metal support bracket). Then just two extension bars. I had already ordered the Ram Mount from the USA at great expense (it hasn't arrived yet), but I'm actually loving the current mounting position so much I don't think I'll use the Ram. It's really good that it doesn't flick around with movements in the bars like my old mount. And it's further back, so there's a wider view around the sides of the screen.

Your thoughts??

Here's a pic I took to show Owen after I set it up. The tape was just extra security.

Launch control no good??

Normally the retro are run with the 600 class. They changed it this time due to grid numbers

[Marshy]

It's the 09. No launch control (or traction control).

[chubb]

My bad

[Marshy]

My bad

All good. I'm slowly getting the bits together to retrofit it. No rush but, because it feels the same anyway. Launch control would be nice, but I can't get it to work properly on the '13 anyway.

Yeah I'd rock that. It gives you a view of all the vitals so is heaps better for you to learn from the video, gearing and exactly what your doing at different points around the track rather than just seeing the road.

Camera mounts- If anyone needs i have a bunch of RAM mount stuff that just sits in my toolbox. I don't use it anymore.
Different length arms and bases etc. They are rock solid. I'd been using one as my lap timer mount for a couple of years and never had a problem.

Tip for Ram mount stuff Nick- Mr Mobile in Alexandria on Botany road. Good stock of many Ram Mount bits.

Thanks Jamie.... I wish I'd known that earlier Serves me right - I should've asked the TT brains trust!
