Nice footage. Mitch's Suzuki has some power on the straight ... did you decide to concentrate on the Clubsport 600 for the WE after this one?

[chubb]

Mitch certainly travelling along on the straights.

[Mr.Ed]

Good see a gsxr finally making the podium on the 600s

[Marshy]

Dunno what he had under the hood though, cos that thing hauled ass!! Mine isn't exactly slow (although mine's a bog-stock engine). Or is it just that he's 35kg lighter than me??

[Marshy]

I actually did the 2nd 600 race on Sat too, but it was also full of near-carnage - which I wouldn't normally mind, but with eyes on the championship prize, I didn't want to get taken out in 600 and lose Clubsport as a result.

I like 7:50 too when you make it stick after the attempt the previous lap where he cut your nose off!

[Stu23]

thank you for not running me over :) eeek

[BoB]

He didnt really cut me off, I saw the yellow flag just as I went passed him so I slowed for him to take his place back.

Friggin flying, Natsoft says you got 18th in R8, one more than Mario ... on a Kwaka :wink:! What's the year model of your GSXR600 ... and are you running Power Commander? Your speedo reads way more than mine ever has, most probably something to do with the pilot :madgrin:.

That's an R6 isnt it?

[Phat3R]

Could well be Dan, I was just going off the Natsoft run sheet, which I even got a ruler out to check and has Suzuki 600 against Josh's name, but could be incorrect.

That speedo is way off, I think it reads around 5 or 10% over, so the 280 it said is really only 250-260, I'm not that quick, haha! It's got 15-45 sprockets I'm pretty sure, which is why it reads so far over. It's an 07 model with no PC and over 20000km on the clocks, not a chance in this universe that she will ever hit 280km/h :P

Looks like I was wrong haha I don't even know what a later model gixxer dash looks like!

[Medic!]

Hey Dan with moves like that maybe look at the next Olympics. Those gymnasts got nuthin on you.

That's cool was was comparing apples with apples, or should that be Suzuki's with Suzuki's. My GSXR600 K1, stock sprockets, has PC, but not connected. Max I've seen speedo was 265, which is probably really 220ish. I like the gear indicator too, so has slipper clutch as well?

Well if it's stock sprockets and you saw 265, I'd say it's not too far off. My GPS timer clocked my top speed at 245km/h a few months back and my speedo only read 270 then, so going off that, mines approx 10% out. Yeah gear indicator is useful, if it works, which mine doesn't. I've got a TRE installed, so gear indicator is now useless, but it would have been extremely handy when coming into turn 2 after the start! Yep, got a slipper clutch which is my favourite part of the whole bike!

[Phat3R]

Hey Dan with moves like that maybe look at the next Olympics. Those gymnasts got nuthin on you.

Looked like one scary ride to me. Can see where you did the ankle, it's the first part to come down. There were no still flags when I approached. Could see from the look on your face things were not good. So I put hand up cause you were kinda still on the line, and no yellow flag to warn couple of other behind me. Could see you were not going to be able to move in reasonable time, and session would have to be a red flag. Even thought about stopping. Straight after I rode past you I saw the reds come out at T18/T12 position.

So any news when they letting you go home?

Nup, still in here. Haven't heard back about my CT scan from this morning. If I dont get an answer tomorrow I'm leaving. Fuck this I dont have time to sit in hospital.

[Jashdown]

This is my footage from the crash in the restart of 600 clubby. Talk about target fixation, typical noobie mistake for me.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZpdQgaZTqc

[Medic!]

If one has a Power Commander, do you need a TRE? http://pingelonline.com/timing_retard_eliminator.htm

Yes. PC 5 doesnt do ignition. If you dont have a PC then maybe have a look at the woolich data logger. For around the same $$$ as a PC it also does the XTRE funtion and much more. I was thinking of going the reflash CPU to save $$$ but I'd probly end up spending more later on the xTRE and PC. So think Ill bite the bullet and get the woolich. Another bonus for gixxers owners like me is you can turn off the FI fault lights without the need for all those resistor plugs to trick the ecu into thinking exup, pairs, steering dampener etc. http://www.woolichracing.com/logbox.aspx Worth a read at least.

[Jashdown]

When I bought the bike, it already had the TRE installed, but there is a distinct lack of power below 5k, so I dunno if that's typical of the TRE or not, but it's noticeable, it's in the useless spectrum of the tacho anyway though, so no problem.

[Medic!]

Yeah gotta stick the landing specially at olympic level.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZpdQgaZTqc

Looked at the vision I don't think you target fixated, bike in front was blocking line of sight of incident, so you followed him wide as he did, which is probably for the best, otherwise you could of collected him as he braked. Good job on missing fallen rider as you were brushed by faster moving bike.

[Medic!]

Thx Medic, Sounds like it could be the go.

So far I haven't heard from anyone that has used one but I'm willing to be the guinea pig. Unless you beat me to it.:bolt:

[dan]

Ouch, that's even worse! You certainly spent some time humping the tank before it spat you off! Really only just noticed how hard Rob bailed from the line to avoid you. He looked like he was having fun trying to stop before that tyre wall got too big.

After the first two big sideways shifts I thought I had it back under control - it seemed to hold for a little longer than on the first change of direction - but now I realise it was just saving up the energy for the big spit off the bike.

[dan]

And apologies Rob I managed to take up every reasonable line going through that corner once I separated from the bike and set up the road block haha

[dan]

A friend asked how it happened and I gave this explanation. Does it seem about right?

This is what I think happened: I came on the gas too hard for the amount of traction I had (bike leaned over, smaller contact patch, less grip) so when I grabbed the throttle too aggressively the rear spun up causing the shift to the left and it lost traction. Once it moved to the left it actually gripped again but my front wheel was pointing in the wrong direction so rather than moving forward properly the front wheel became a brake as it was forced along the tarmac against the rotation of the tyre. This caused the rear to come up and rear of the bike turned on the front, bouncing from side to side before completely unsettling the bike and eventually tossing me off.

[Stu23]

It looked like you were trying hard to get past the guy in front and dive into 12, just got on the gas a bit too hard and the rest is history ! hope your on the mend :)

[dan]

haha yeah was definitely trying to get in at 12!

[senator8]

Far out Dan! That was a good one!
will sms those details now

[chubb]

this is what happens boys when you let off the throttle when the rear starts to slide...

nah that was some nasty spit..

hope you heal up quick

[senator8]

After the first couple of laps (I was the guy behind you for the first lap), I felt I had the pace to catch back up and dice with you, but then I got caught up by the guy between us and wasted too much time trying to get past him, and by the time I did get past, it was too little too late.

[Marshy]

Great recovery , nice handstand ,slight over rotation , definately a 10.

[Condor]

http://youtu.be/JP4BFD3U2Ak

What a save!!! I was pitting with him and he was pretty stoked to have pulled that off, he said his helmet hit his front mud guard!!!!!! :jaw:

[Condor]

Or front fender.... whatever there called. ha

[Little Mick]

that exit onto 9 can really catch you out...

[Marshy]

Check this out....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqk5KaLeyqE

[chubb]

Bloody tall Frenchman! (I think he was French when we pitted together at WP)

[Nelso]

It was Leanne that nearly t-boned Marshy and ended up clipping Grasshopper (the Frenchman) when she pulled out. That was a close one!

[DisPlaCeD]

WOOOOOOOOO!!! Well my ass puckered a bit! haha... You were probably totally oblivious to how close that was hey?! :scared:


Check this out....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqk5KaLeyqE

[Mr.Ed]

How did she even pull up in time I don't know... from watching from the angle it just seems it won't stop till it does. But why the hell everyone caught up so much all of a sudden?

[Negrogrande]

saw it live, was pretty intense, looked like they both outbraked themselves Leanne more so then grasshopper. (I think he is from New Caledonia?) or Ray seems to think so

[Nelso]

saw it live, was pretty intense, looked like they both outbraked themselves Leanne more so then grasshopper. (I think he is from New Caledonia?) or Ray seems to think so

Yeah he is from New Caledonia. Leanne was just trying to overtake up the inside of both of them because she had more corner entry speed than the other two, but Nick caught her by surprise when he turned in and she had to jump on the brakes to avoid him which stood her up and ran her wide into JC (Grasshopper). It was just a racing incident where 3 people were trying to get to the front, but to their credit they were all skilful enough to stay on.

[Marshy]

I wasn't worried for a second, as I knew it was Leanne - and she has skills! I had no idea she was there until I saw her front wheel a foot away on the inside. I didn't realise we were that close to actually touching!

[BoB]

Here is another close one, from Sat all I heard was a tyre screetch (3:00) , wasn't till later looking at the cam that I realised how close it was. Thanks Condor for not taking me out :)

What video editors do people use? I have heaps of problems loading my .mov files into iMovie and I'll had it with that junk.

[Marshy]

That's because you are using a Mac. There's a reason they have such a small market share....

I use Adobe Premiere Pro.

[Mr.Ed]

I usually use After Effects unless I'm lazy and then I go with the Windows Movie Maker since it's muuuuuuuuuuch simpler to use

[Jashdown]

Sony Vegas pro 12 here, which isn't half bad, pretty confusing at first though. Plus it's free if you know how to google for a patch to get the unlimited version.

I learnt a few very good lessons about road racing that first day. Sure can't just throw a wheel on the inside like I'm used to in motocross racing.

Glad we both got away with that one Rob. Total my fault.

It was my first time out there racing along with a few others and i learned a lot from it . Looking back through the front and especially the rear cam it shows me where i can improve as others catch me up and other peoples lines , especially when going for the overtaking . I had a ball out there with you guys and looking forward to the next st george meet next year. Need to get some bigger balls i think for the next one.. or look out for the spiders that im going to fark..

Rnd 3 of FXRRC at wakefield on 30th Nov... Its a club level event and a lot of fun.. you wont have as many on the grid as last weekend (well unlikely anyway as even for St George it was a huge one)

will give you a taste of a different track and keep that adrenalin pumping :)

And for those that still haven't had a go, I think there's a Race Your Mates just before xmas too. My mate Steve is planning to break his racing virginity there.

Haha thanks! It was a comedy of errors. To be honest it's the first time I've ever been off the track, I was more worried about keeping it upright, that shits alot deeper than i thought too. I shouldn't have let it come to a stop, then I had trouble getting first. Pretty sad for someone who rides a bit of dirt! Next time I know what I'm in for atleast

[Little Mick]

Awesome stuff Marty. Looks like you got raceface on and went out for blood.. :)

[dan]

Yeah great work catching up. That turn 2 was always an experience!

Yeah it's like riding thru a kiddy pool full of marbles eh. I hit the trap at the end of Oran Park straight in the wet . If it was the same as EC I'm sure I would have been down. Was much finer material there.

It was torture watching you all out there. I was all gang busters to be out next year on the 14th feb but Mr OFarrel has other ideas.:frusty::censored::censored::censored: He has given my wifes job the flick so unless she gets a transfer the budgets tighter than ever.:violin: Any sponsors out there for a virgin racer?............................................ .................................................. ...:ear:...................HELLO..........anyone?: cry:

Yeh I could beleive that trap, I've seen lots of people drop it in there too.

That's shit news about your situation, hopefully you can get it together somehow and get out there in feb. The entry fees are sooo high, on top of everything else of course.

Ehh it'll all come out in the wash. I'll be working full time next year once all 3 kids are at high school. I've been dicking about doing handyman and lawn mowing in between school hrs up till now. Very irregular and the lawn mows die off so to speak as most are for elderly people and I'm not licensed or insured for handy man jobs so mostly word of mouth. Watching everyones vids keeps me going.

Doing the drags on thursday night. only $55 Busting to throw a leg over. If I can't do 10's I should give it away. Hoping to crack a 9.
