Thanks for that Anant,it boosts up my morale.. Please try to get some time on 14th,would love to meet you all.
Already Bhibhu has confirmed to take wherever,you all shall plan to meet.
I shall also seek some help from Steve, as he shall be the one who is staying closest to where I shall be putting up.

See if we all or MAX can meet on 14th.

Hey Nitin, 9:30 thru 7pm is what my usual working time is.

Aaahan,Perfect.. I shall try to do things on my own,but I need any help that day,I may give you some trouble

Wheres Kirosh my man...this guy is of such exceptional help to others that he should be given a national award or something. My entire trip to California Superbike Schooling Sessions was a possibility because of this one man alone.

Kirosh mighty thanks to you from the bottom of my heart and rest assured if you ever need any kinda help from me I shall be obliged to.

Very True TenHut, This guy is really a GEM from heart,The person has always been a support and on his toes to help be it any Stupid act of mine even, I remember that one of 14th .

haha...thanks mate
I wasnt really gunning for the leans. My job was to keep the bike as upright and as stable as possible. In the pics I was actually working my body position and stuff.
Regarding speed....there were guys out there who were faster than me by a factor of 10.
I was doing decent speeds hitting 150kmph at some stretches but was by no means 'too bloody fast'
You should have seen some of the creme de la creme of indian racers. The best of the best were out there and they had their throttle pinned between any two corners.
Yes even between c2 and c3 Rajni was asked by the Coach to pin the throttle on a freakin 600 cc. Madness...

[L.P.]

150kmph!! HOLY SH!TTT!!!
Maan! that is too bloody fast, Ten Hut Man, you are too much,NO NO NO ,actually three much

I am coming there very soon, shall meet you then. and Also If possible should also visit the Track.

Cheers

What was your best timings in the 250 R in the full loop ?? 150 k in back straight ?? I am able to see corner entry points in C8. Man, you should guys should have had a blast.
Any specific pointers given in for the C10, C11 s curve ??

[TenHut]

lol...150 was at the start finish straight entering into Corner 1 and in the follow through after corner 3.
check this to know what I am saying

they are long straights so its possible.
What is impossible for me is doing full throttle on a freakin race tuned 600 cc monster. Now look at the map again and begin to fathom what full throttle between c2 and c3 would mean. Lol..check out the pic I am uploading to know how fcukin good these racers were.

I left the track in a hurry on 4th day. I am calling up the authorities and trying to get the laptimes for my 4th day. Will get them by tomorrow and shall post them here soon..I have a rough idea of what my timings were but lets wait to hear them from the horses mouth. Untill then...heres a pic of mine with my lucky dope shirt discussing corner c10 and c11 with Andy Ibbott. C10&C11 is the slowest part of the track and hence becomes the most hated part of the track.
Have a late turn point on a line very much on the right edge of the track at c10 -> turn in as quickly as possible as ur turn point is late -> do the hook turn to further tighten your line.
The above enables you to have a better attack angle for c11. If u dont do the above you may end up going wide at C10 exit and then attacking C11 is a nightmare.
Nothing can be achieved by trying to go fast at c10 and c11. Its not the place to go fast at all. 'Hardly one tenth of a second can be gained by going fast there' (andy ibbott). But by having the proper attack angle for c11 and then getting a fcukin good drive out of c11 will help u carry lotsa speeds for c12 and then looootsaa speed at the start finish straight. That will help u gain atleast 2 secs if done right.
Morale of the story : dont go fast at c10&c11...just try and get the lines right and a good attack angle for c11. Dont think corner by corner...that way u will attack every corner and try to go fast everywhere...think sector wise...and try reducing timings for sectors...

[anants_220]

See if we all or MAX can meet on 14th.
