Scot--for me it wasn't about lap times -fuck I reckon even without freddies help I coulda cut a second or two off my lap times with a days practice -thats easy to do whey you're not on the pace to start with.
For me it was all about learning the track at a pace I was comfortable with (with the one clear exception) and learning new riding habits and skills.
There wasn't a hell of a lot of point in going all that way to have my bike end up damaged or for that matter myself damaged.
I was focussed on getting 2 corners right --the Hairpin and the sweeper
I think all day there was only about 6 full laps I was anywhere near MY limits
sure -On the sweeper i was for several laps waay outside my comfort zone but once I'd sorta figured it out I backed off and focussed more on gear position exiting and less on the specific corner.
at the end of the day i cut a full couple of seconds off my best lap time.
I'm hopeing on race day that will turn into at least a points finishing position.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
