Jay Lawrence Nationals Round Four Manfeild

One needs to not piss around during practice and qualifying.
Foxing, trying to learn others lines etc, limits usefull tracktime. You need to do more laps thinking what you are doing - not everyone else.

Thanks. I'm actually quite insulted. One thing we DIDN'T do was "piss around during practice...foxing and trying to learn others lines". We spent all of both days of practice trying things on the bike in an effort to make it better on track...which is what everyone is generally doing, fairly standard practice procedure. Trying differnt lines is something that can be very useful, if trying to ride around something you have on the bike, also as an outright way to improve lap time. And - I'll freely admit, often I will evaluate what others are doing in an effort to improve. This meeting was actually the first this season where I did not do any of that.

Thanks to everyone else for your kind words and support throughout this season - we are definitly aiming to do better at Pukekohe for all of ya's!!

Once again thanks for the great insights from both Master and Mister Lawrences.
All the best for Puke Jay. You did well there last year so should do well again this year.

I think what Craig meant was, as the track is so cold, what is the point of re setting a complete motor bike to work in those conditions, when the racing that matters to him, is in the summer! So why waste his time going slow

I fully agree with Craig on that, I never did the winter series stuff, as the tracks are way to cold to work well, as in summer

Ill just ride cause i love riding......


Dont worry J still at the right end in the points! Sometimes shit just doesnt work man, puke should be sweet!

Im just sorta getting to know when things arent quite working right, i liked it much better when i could just get on and be oblivious!

Thanks for sussing out that spacer for me tell your old man i havnt forgotten about it ill catch him up at puke

[Deano]

Great report guys - as mentioned earlier it is very insightful into the intricacies of top level racing. I'm sure you've now put it behind you and are focusing on Puke. Good luck Jay - give it heaps !

I participate in "foxing and learning others lines" as well, I figure if they're using them they must do it for a reason, so no harm in seeing if what they do is better than what I do. Although seldom have anyone elses lines ever worked for me (never that I can think of) I have still learnt a lot by "pissing around"

I know how you would've felt Jay, as we had a similar weekend with trouble with the bike, not setup but just as frustrating
