Thought you folks might appreciate my track-maps for racing. Many of my notes are for a 600 so take em for what it's worth. If you know Adobe Illustrator you can strip out my notes and add your own. Notice the PDF's are below each map image. http://design-engine.com/road-racing-track-maps/ I did win 12 to 14 championships since 2012 six of seven in 2015 so my notes are a bit aggressive in many cases ie. no brakes between specific turns in Autobahn North LOL Many of the experts argue w/ me about those notes but I win the races.
Thank you, I always enjoy looking at your maps. Do you really go full throttle CCW at Grattan over the hump?! How do you not launch 10 feet in the air?
I didn't mean to come across so cocky..... What I meant to say is that people often argue w/ me about the lines, braking or markers. To each his own. More maps to follow. Im usually trying to launch LOL In motocross we would ride a wheelie over a jump in order to keep the rear tire on the ground.
i thought the same thing when a coach told me this, but when you actually do it, its not so bad and you carry wayyyyy more speed through the esses.
Bart I would love to get your notes for Turn 6 once under the bridge.... That one screws me up every year... Seems like I take a different line through there every lap..
T6 is a weird one at RA. There's a bump or two on the outside and I swear my bike has it's own agenda going through there. Sometimes it's happy, other times it gets a bit unsettled. I'm not perfect, but so many riders brake way early for that corner. You can stay on the gas until the bridge. I also feel like a lot of riders start the turn too early and then get stuck waiting to for the bike to finish the turn before they can get on the gas again. That turn works well for me when I let the bike float over the bumps and then turn it. I don't feel like I lose any time doing that and I can usually make an easy pass by turn 7 since I can drive out of there better than someone who apexes it early. Still, to repeat that every lap is still a challenge for me.
