I forever tainted a water bottle with margarita flavoring by doing the same thing Paul.
You must have a far steadier beer hand than I do. Riding through the infield with a beer would be a waste of beer, most of it would spill.

Greg, did you search youtube for a lap of the track?
I am sure you could find an on board lap showing the brake markers.

Pat,
I have heard of people braking for turn 1 when their skirt flies up in front of their face.

Greg,
I can only speak for car racing at BIR, the CRA guys will need to answer for bikes.
No brake markers for turns 1 or 2.

You are better off using permanent reference points for your braking and turn in points. Man made markers have a tendency to move.
I don't brake for turn one. Sometimes I use the little paved apron before turn 2 as a reference for lifting or braking. It depends on the vehicle I am driving.
Spec Racer....no lifting from 10 to 3. 911, brake significantly for 2.

20/20 on collision traps and 18/20 on signs, missed the very first one.

For me, the key is constant survelance- and accurately recognizing the situation, no target fixation. I do the same thing driving a cage.....quick eyes.

Bike Help / Tire Change
« on: April 19, 2010, 12:16:57 PM »
Hi All,
J Minnesota from MN-Sportbike here. ('95 VFR with silver flames)
A co-worker needs a tire swap, he has the tires but no tools or ability to make the change.

As I recall, at least one person on the list offered his tire changing services for a nominal fee. But, of course, I deleted the contact information.
Kind of funny, I have an old suspension article link from Karl.

Thanks,
Jay
