Manfield short circuit good lap time or no?

[roogazza]

As far as laptimes go its more about comparing them to the best laptimes you have done. Once you get a baseline for you on a particular bike then you can see if your improving (or your improving the bike) after taking into account the track and weather conditions on that day. Very satisfiying to know your riding alot faster but frustrating when your getting slower.

I must admit I never worried about lap times and still don't ! Race the guy in front of you , you win some and you lose some, thats what its about. Who cares if you get a lap record and come sixth ?? coulda, woulda, shoulda ??
Just enjoy it out there. Gaz.

Lap times are pretty much the sum of many variables bike included. While 1:28 isn't impressive it doesn't really mean the bike's a lemon. The rider plays a big part, track conditions, tyres, grid as well.

TwoSmoker could probably jump on that bike and do sub 1:20s.

I'd be more concerned that it's reliable and mechanically sound. But knowing it's competitive is important as well. Ask around if anyone saw it last weekend and if it was keeping up on the straights - that's all I'd worry about.

Crasherfromwayback can get around Manfeild in 1.19 on an (almost) stock Harley 883. Would that make ya buy one?

How ya going to get it around Mark? Surely you cant afford a ute aswell?

You cant race on the dole... not enough $$$ Think about it.

You can enter your zxr250 into streetstock, it definately would be competitive and a good place to start.

A good lap time at Manfield would be about 1.15pm I reckon, that way the sun isn't in your eye's like later in the afternoon when you go down the back straight

WOW .. he must be carrying some serious corner speed.. awesome!!

Laptimes mean very little with regards to how good the bike is SkiddyMarcus. Get someone to look over the bike for ya. The faster 400 riders like Deano get consistent 1.22's BTW.

I think I managed x.xx's on my CBR250RR last year, and I think Jay Lawrence has done a x.xx on an RG150. In my opinion you should race your ZXR250 in streetstock. That class rocks. You should do the first round of the pmcc, I'll be there on my CBR250 after retiring from the more hardcore racing. You can do F3 on your ZXR250 aswell.

I might be riding my CBR to and from Taupo aswell.

*edit* Just checked and I only managed 1.27.1... So I'm not sure what Jay managed, maybe 1.26 on the RG.
