Thanks Pro6 - June 18

Thanks to all at Pro6 for yet another great day at the track. One of the smoothest trackdays I've been to, I don't' think there were any incidents even with the rain. The Yamaha bucks were a bonus :D
 
I have to agree. As usual, top notch. Even with the day being nearly full, everything went well.

Fili-mac, what bike were you on? In the last session of the day somebody on a white bike passed me into turn 2 and through 3 he had an insane lean angle and had to check up a bit because of it. I caught it on video. I said out loud in my helmet "Holy crap!" when I saw his lean angle, so I turned my throttle up some more to keep pace for a bit. Good times. Found a new "limit". :)
 
Was there a lot of track time? I was going to go but the weather forecast kept me from attending.

Green had a crap load of riders out, wide open track for me in yellow. I sat out one session and still got 5 in...good day in my books.

Doozer - Blue and red R6 #313 in the yellow group. I'm hoping the photographer out in the infield got some good shots.
 
I got a chance to run my rain tires but when I got out there the track was already 60% dry! I did 4 laps and came in, put the slicks back on.

Fili-mac, I thought I saw you out in the red group. Must have been an imposter. haha

If I was out there you would have notice me acting like pylon, definitely not up to pace with you guys. What times are you running?
 
I saw you for sure fili-mac out in yellow. You have a pretty bright set of leathers, it was hard to miss. I was out for the first time ever on some US N-Tecs. My god those a nice. Bike felt like it wanted to fall over at the slightest push of the bars. Ended up getting my times from 2:10's down into 2:05/6 range. I was the guy with the gray primered bike #284. So far thats 15 seconds a lap i've lost in 3 days since getting my new to me 05 zx6r. Not bad for 6th track day, 3rd on the new bike.

Ha bright yeah! The suit was courtesy of Mr. Trombino :cool: so colour wasn't a choice. You were definitely running faster times than me. I got a really blurry shot of us coming out onto the straight. I hope I wasn't too much of a pylon for you.

On my SV I run around the 2 minute mark. My "official" personal best was 2:01.9 two years ago. I'm faster now for sure but there never seems to be a beacon to prove it... I'll have to buy one I suppose :) Yesterday afternoon was tough to get a PB though because of the water in 8 and Allen's buggering up the lines a bit.

Does anybody know who the photographer was that was out in the field?

Thanks. Your bike sounds familiar. Were you at the Shannonville lapping day a few weeks back (I had my 07 red/white gsxr600 there parked at the "Whyte Fitness" trailer)?

Good to see you again too. After showing John Sharrard my brutally torn up rear tire and having him check a few things I'll be sending him my shock for a full service, valving and stiffer spring. I'm eager to see how my bike feels after that!

White bike-was it a 2 stroke by chance? Old RZ350? Not much power on the straights?

Not a pylon at all. I just started getting more aggresive with lines, braking, on the power etc. Still very new but getting better.
 
Amazing time.
Just a note: If you are not on the new Dunlop Slicks, you need to be. Incredible. Insane grip.
