OK one correction - Aug 29 is my next scheduled track day to instruct.
Nope, Jeff is definitely faster than me. I lost about 2 seconds a lap after my daughter was born. I'm not sure what my fastest lap on the R6 would be at TWS (no timer). I was running 1:50s with a TL1000S back in 2001 there as a first year expert. That thing was nothing but an exhaust, mapping, ride height adjuster on the rear (with the stock rotary damper) and Traxxion forks. I think the R6 is a much better bike. I'd have to guess but I might be able to run the same laps now as I did back then. I have been accused of running 1:49s but without a real timer I don't want to claim anything.

Max - you can run 51s with a F3 and only 57s on the SV? Dude you should be able to turn 55s on that SV. It needs more setup or something. I ran 55s with a couple of 54s "back in the day". Of course Falt and Bradley Champion were banging 51s and 52s then... That's what sucked the worst my am. year in 2000 for sprints - Bradley was also a yellow plate that year.

These days I've been endurancing a Metra Kit mini. Managed to turn 1:54s at Oak Hill with 12hp... I used to run about 1:32s on the SV there. Last time out with the R6 I really hosed the suspension up and need to go back and get more setup time. I think my best with it all messed up was only a 1:34 so I have some work to do on the Yamahammer.
