    Summit Main 8-4 Report

    Reply Contact

    So this was my first time at summit main and NESBA, and what a day! Yes turns 1, 5, & 6 are ruff, but my limited experience wont let me criticise much. I either rode the outside or the inside of the turns. It took me a few sessions to get the layout (where the turn markers are, flag stations, etc..) but it all started to come together after lunch. I met up with Morph and damn did his advice help. One of his comments was something like "your just going too slow" Sleepand "theres no coasting, either break or gas". I know it sounds corny but honestly I had to get over it and just roll on the throttle more. By the last session I had a permanent s*** eating grin going.Stick out tongue I felt alot faster and smoother. Was even catching up to people and passing them. He helped me with my line and body position as well. I really learned allot the 2nd half of the day.. I can honestly say im hooked and cant wait for the next track day possibly the 18th at main again...
    Thanks again to Morph, and the other CR's that were giving instruction, it is very appriciated.Yes

    Now the pics:

    Morph is a very nice individual.  There is a lot to be learned from this son of a bytch.

     I agree, Morph's a great resource. Just don't mention anything about the length of your legs and ability to place various parts of your boot on the pavement . . .

     I got one comment from him in the morning that stuck with me all day at Lightning, "You break waaaay too much." 

    New bike, new track, go figure. I was like, "no joke?!"

     I think at this point he was about one of three people there that had more than one session on the new track though. That little bit of advice really made me enjoy the day much more though, by the last session I was hitting the fishbowl muuch faster than in the morning.

     Dorito, I though it was Danboy that told you to stop being a beckt at South.

    But morph has also said something similar to him at main.

    during the morning sessions we rode the outside of the turn. But once I got some direction I started hitting the apex, theres a small amount of room between the ruff part and the grass. But then again in "B" group im not breaking any speed records
