Racing goals for 2015

[stevem]

So what is everyone's racing / track day goals for 2015. Results ,lap times and so on.

[Negrogrande]

Have now run a 1:43 goal is 1:40 in Round 1 and sub 40's by the end of the year. Not fussed about winning (yet)

[Nelso]

Just to have fun and not get hurt. I don't get why you would need any other goals at our level of racing; it's not serious, it's just club racing.

Winning IS EVERYTHING Nelso sheepstations are up for grabs!!!! Well maybe a couple of toy's
.. but having a goal is good to keep some focus....

[Saturnalian]

45's is a good starting point. A lot more track time. I've sold the Roadie so i have an excuse for a lot more track days.
First is general fitness and then a twista the wrista a lot more at every opportunity on track.
I realize now that i already have the skills and knowledge necessary to turn the pussy filter off

[chubb]

goal for next year is to not shear off any bolts....after I get this one fixed by giving someone some coin... bloody newcastle air....

Yeah trying not to destroy it further. The easy out sheared the bolt off!

[Marshy]

Number 1 goal for 2015 is to win Clubsport Unlimited. I'm probably gonna have a crack at the BEARS series too, so I'd like to do well in that.

My laptime aim is 34s at the Creek.

[Mstevo]

you and 6-8 other blokes, as many fast unlimited riders will be dropping into the Clubsport class

Whoever wins Unlimited Clubsport next year will deserve it as they will have ridden extremely well, it will be the class to watch as far as the spectators go

So my goal is to beat Nick ;-)

Haha, love it! Did you feel the slap of the challenge gauntlet on your face Nick?

Hell yeah! I live for this!!

[Mstevo]

Well..... if Nick is planning on doing 34's he's going to be 4 seconds fast than current clubsport riders, so it seams logical, whoever can beat Marshy will win next years Clubsport Championship ;-)

Perhaps there was some context missing. I'm doing 36s on the 2013, which is the best handling bike I've ever ridden. The 09 Clubsport bike is miles behind in handling, power, and no electrickery. So even getting to 38s on the 09 is gonna be a challenge!! I'm going to have my work cut out catching you guys that have lots of time on your bikes.

[Turbo]

Race starts really!! I'm happy with my lap time progress... Would be great to keep improving there.
Deff locking in some dragway nights tho. As you could guess, I'm keen to flush out any demons!!

[Little Mick]

Which bolt rancell?

[chubb]

One that mounts the fairing on the frame. Trying to replace all the bolts that have crusted over with salt corrosion from Newcastle air.

[Little Mick]

Is it tapped into frame or thread insert?

[chubb]

Factory fitted tap

[Saturnalian]

Easy out's are fucking horrible devices aren't they.....

[chubb]

Yes they are. Should have invested in some left hand drill bits instead.

[Leezx10r]

2015 for me.

Be fit and ready for rd1.
Do all the rounds of Saint George.
Don't bin it.

Do a lap!

[Little Mick]

+2

[Slow bro]

Crack 1 min on the south circuit.

[senator8]

Apart from more track time (or any compared to the last year or so) I'd like to think I can get under 1:40 on the PCRA bike on the GP circuit and 1:04s @ WP (1:05s so far). I haven't ridden the GP on the old girl for nearly 2 years and have improved a lot since then, so I'm quietly hopeful.
If I can knock 2 seconds off my best times on the BMW over the next 12 months, which will put me around mid 1:30s I'll be a very happy boy.

I'd like to have a red hot crack at FX Retro D grade. Also to get amongst it with the bucket and see where I sit there. Not too concerned with StG next year but will like to do the 4hr and hopefully be competitive in D grade for that.

[Turtle]

1:45 for GP
2:15 for EC

Become a big enough fish to be a nuisance in green.

Hahaha. Don't worry, you can be the lightning and I'll be the thunder that follows a couple seconds behind. *everyone prefers lightning*

[Negrogrande]

I would have qualified 5th in unlimited For round 1 in 2014 with my PB, I'm revising my goal to bringing home plastic

And your new bike was on pole!!

After your post, I had a look through the Nov 2014 results for CS Unlimited. MStevo and Rollie were banging out 38s, with our own MStevo now holding the lap record for the class on the GP circuit of a 38.4, IIRC. Roland was only a tenth or two behind. So we will have our work cut out for us catching those guys

[Marshy]

natsoft html links never work (they are db-generated on request). Link a screenshot, or the pdf version.

[Negrogrande]

Fixed (I think) turns out it was the Gixxer… so glad to be rid of it

[Binksy]

A race start when I don't go back 2 grid rows!

The usual lap time improvements. Sub 1.05's at WP, 1.44's EC and 1.46's PI

My problem too
You might need to join us at the drags for some practice: http://tarmactalk.com/forum/showthre...AGS-BIKE-NIGHT

Would absolutely love too but being Canberra based makes it hard to make it. Wasting all my leave with trips to Phillip Island at the moment . Hoping to take from 3pm off one day and make it up there for one though this year.

[Marty]

I was hoping to try and get down to 1:40.xxx at ECGP

[Krackeye]

My goal is to race at PI this year. There's some good classes down there for the ol' girl. And maybe have a shot at the FX Classic title at Wacky and dip into the 104s

[chubb]

I got to work hard!

I want to hit 01-02s at WP and 36-37s at SMP

[KANGA]

Race.
... oh and get my knee down, body positioning is beyond a mess!

[Marshy]

Nice

We can work on that next time at the track if you like. Just hit me up for some tips

Although please don't ask me about right handers.... my right knee slider is always pristine - until I swap it to the left leg and put the very worn one on the right! Just don't tell anyone, ok?

[KANGA]

Nice

I find crashing on old 9 then T5 evened up a set of sliders nicely, now they both have wear
Looking at the photos I just don't get my ass off the seat. Compare me to to the other rider and I'm right up on the tank and practically square on the seat. Then there's my upper body being crossed up.

I'm actually considering spending half a day down in green taking it slow. I'll definitely hit you up if your about next track day, going to take a bit to fix up this cluster fuck though lol

Put your armpit on the petrol cap and your head where the wing mirror would be.
That should get you going on a good body position.

Yeah I always gesture toward putting my chin over my forearm, seems to get things in line.
Also, don't ride the bike around the corners, drag it with you. Like pretending you can fly and you're carrying this thing through the corners with you. COME ON LIL BIKE LES' GO THIS WAY. Works in my head at least...

[Negrogrande]

We can swap sliders if you like I had to borrow a set from MEGA on Saturday.

[chubb]

I'll help you with right handers. I don't like lefts.
