A few laps from Monday. Not perfect laps, but lots of passing action. Let me know if you recognise yourself

Thanks for the video, I am the second guy you chased (Yellow and Black) from 1:51 to 3:15, I need to work on turn 9, I don't feel right on it.

I was just grabbing one downshift, no brakes, and going into 9 steady on the gas. My line wasn't super consistent but you can see my line at about 4:40 with nobody in front. It felt a bit better later in the day when I ran out a bit wider on exit.

It turned out okay. It's a bit shaky because it's on the flimsy windscreen and it makes the audio crackle a bit, but I'm happy with it. Did you put the little rubber thing in the mount to keep it solid (assuming it's a GoPro)?

I use this mount on my windscreen:

The rubber thing doesn't fit in this mount (that I can figure out anyway).

No, it doesn't. I stopped using that mount for exactly that reason, but I can tell you that is the source of your problem. Once I used a different mount and put the nose plug in, huge improvement.

Argh... good to know.

I found for me shifting down 6-5 for T8, then 5-4 for T9, then 4-3 for T3 worked.

Mosport kicks ***.

hum, not braking and going from 6 to 4 on 8 was enough to get the hearth pumping, so now going 6 to 5 only!! ok then, I am buying some truck nuts and inserting them

I will try next time.

Ooops I meant down to 3rd for T10, not T3.

I need truck nuts for T4. Are you fast boys on the gas over the crest?

Hold it until you crest and release just as you start to stand the bike up. Drop 2 gears (very little brake) in a row and throw your knee down going up into 5a slowly feeding in throttle through 5b until you can get back to wide open exiting 5c and start climbing the hill.

No, I have to settle the bike over the crest. At least, that's what I think... I did not install my TruckNuts<tm> prior to the gravity kicking in. Also, I spent the first day there in Y-E-A-R-S so am not expert by any means, just telling you what I did and observed others doing.

4 scares me for my front. I roll off. To set my front down so I never learn how close that concrete wall is.

T4 after the crest made my front light with a hair of throttle. Rolling off over the crest to keep the front weighted helped. Wouldn't want to tuck it there.
